As a general maintenance rule with iOS devices, I quite often through the day, do complete quits of all Apps, and also, at least once a day, I do a complete shutdown (“force restart”) of the iPhone ← and more often during maintenance procedures: after making changes and after updates.
How to do a complete quit of Brave Browser on your iPhone:
How to do a complete shutdown of the iPhone:
IF you want to do a complete, fresh re-install of Brave Browser iOS.
In the iPhone’s Files.app, create a new folder named “BRAVE_FLDR_BKUP”
Next, I would export the BB bookmarks - creating a “bookmarks.html” file, and store that in the new “BRAVE_FLDR_BKUP” folder. Also, if you use the BB Password Manager, back up your passwords to that “BRAVE_FLDR_BKUP” folder. (You might also back up the iPhone to a computer and/or the iCloud, if you wish.)
Thus, data that most BB users wish to save, is at least stored on the iPhone but not in the BB installation path(s).
Chores:
- Make notes of the various iPhone Settings that are important to you.
- Make a copy of “Content Filtering” custom filters that you may have added.
- Disable any sync chain.
- Disable any automated backup service.
Next, do the complete removal of the app and its data ← there is usually an option to select that.
Followed by a complete shutdown of the iPhone. Followed by a fresh installation of the app in question.
Of course, you would then copy or move the files that you saved in the “BRAVE_FLDR_BKUP” folder, into the new “Brave” folder. Import the bookmarks from the “bookmarks.html” file. Etc.
