How do you clear image cache in iPhone 5S Safari browser?

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.
