How to use private safari browsing on ios

Next we will see how to use Safari private browsing on iOS. Thanks to this option you can prevent your browsing history from being stored on your Apple devices. This is a very useful function, for example, if you share your iPad and are buying gifts online for your family, as this will prevent someone from discovering the surprise.

Use Safari private browsing mode

Once you activate private browsing, Safari is limited in three different ways. On the one hand, it prevents the browser from creating a history of the web pages you visit; on the other hand, it prevents the browser from remembering AutoComplete information, such as usernames and passwords for websites. And lastly, it prevents any tabs you open from being stored in iCloud.

Another advantage of Sfari private browsing is that it gives you “peace of mind”, in that the browser will automatically prevent tracking of websites, while requesting that third-party sites and content providers do not track your activity as a general rule. Additionally, the privacy mode prevents sites from modifying the information stored on your iOS device and deletes cookies when you close the tab associated with a website.

To enable private browsing in Safari, follow these steps.

• Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad, tap the Pages icon (which consists of two squares) to open the open tab view, and then tap "Private Browsing." Notice how the interface turns dark gray. Press the "+" icon to open a private tab.

• When you're done browsing, return to the open tabs view, individually slide open tabs in private mode to close them, and then tap "Private Browsing" again. All information regarding your private browsing session is automatically erased from memory.
