Does UIWebView leak memory?

Question

If your iPhone app uses a UIWebView, and loads many pages with large images, you may find that you are leaking memory. Can this be resolved?

Accepted Answer

Try adding

```
[webView loadHTMLString: @"" baseURL: nil];
```

right before you release the webview. For a leak in 4.2.1 relating to displaying a PDF in a UIWebView this solves most of the leak problems for me.
