Problem
Please forgive me if this question sounds like clearing Safari cache/cookies in General->Settings. The issue is as follows: We have a custom webpage where user can upload his profile icon/image by choosing from Phone's photo library or taking a photo. The 1st time user uploads an image P1, it's uploaded successfully to server. If user refreshes the webpage and tries to upload a different image P2, P1 is uploaded to server. Problem persists even after clearing browser cache. If I kill browser and clear cache, then I'll be able to upload a new image. This problem does not occur on browsers on Google devices or on PC. Somehow iPhone browser remembers the image object and I need to find a way to clear it.
