Aug 10, 2021Please allow users to clear/reset the SPEEDTEST history in the APP
Hi Is there an option currently to refresh the bulit in SPEEDTEST history? or a way to clear it? Thanks
- Retired_MemberAug 11, 2021
Looks like its a waiting game for the nighthawk application developers to add it in a future release (most likely not a priorty) since the app has been out for a while - so its seems the orignal question on clearing the SPEEDTEST log history ins't there for iOS or Andriod.
Thanks Again

Notifications are popup messages from various apps about certain events when they happen on phones and pads. Like if a new device connects it may show on the iphone or pad. Nothing to do with clearing speed test history.
Yes. But which "popups" are we talking about? And where did popups suddenly come from? That's the first mention of this creature.
Popups are not "push notifications", which is what Retired_Member referred to. Different beasts altogether.
I have seen no evidence that the Nighthawk apps – if that is what the message refers to – offer any popus for devices joining a network.
I do see popups in the desktop genie, but never in the mobile apps.
All very confusing as it isn't at all clear what we are talking about here.

Ya I agree theres nothing in NH app thats give any kind of notification. Same with Orbi. Armor and Circle, those apps do give notifications of certain events.
At any rate, seems like the app is limited in its design and clearing out historical speed test history isn't one of them. Unless a uninstall and re-install does this...

Clear data is worth trying.
Less dramatic than an uninstall
But maybe iOS does not allow that.

Hopefully. i'll see if I can test this on iOS when I get home...

Thanks for doing a deep dive on this. FURRYe38 and michaelkenward
Yes, I had extended this topic to 2 questions (maybe should have created a new one for the app notiifcaitons) as I had a TP-Link router prior and it sent notificaitons if a new device connected. Also was able to clear the speedtest history via their APP directly.
Much better router Netgear :smileyhappy:
I cannot see any option to clear the cache data for iOS.
Much appricate the help with finding a solution.

Can't help there. I don't like paying over the odds for devices that lock me into Jobsworld.

I would not have marked this thread as solved.
Looking my my NH app, I can't find anything to clear out speed test history on iOS.
All I see is this:
Something to post and ask about there though and request it:

Good Luck.

Out of interest, why would someone want to clear their speedtest history?
- FURRYe38Aug 18, 2021Guru - Experienced User
We'll looks like they left the forum. :smileysad:
- michaelkenwardAug 18, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Unfortunately, that does not clear their history.
- FURRYe38Aug 19, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Yep, this thread is still here. :smileytongue:
