After releasing iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, a new privacy-oriented feature has been introduced by Apple that changes the way you browse the web via Safari on your iPhone and iPad. With the update of the browser, the Private Browsing mode in Safari will not remember the pages you visited, nor your search history. In this article, I will explain how you can get to Private Browser on iOS 15.
How to Go to Private Browser on iOS 15 (iPhone 13 or iPad)
It is very easy to use the Private mode in Safari on iOS 15. The private browsing on Safari creates a totally new session for every private tab. These temporary private sessions are completely isolated from each other, but they are also isolated from your main browser window as well.
The benefit of private browsing is that you won’t be logged out of your accounts. It will also not save your browsing behavior, your search history, or the content of any forms that you have filled out. In addition, the session data will be also erased and cookies are deleted immediately when you close your private browsing window.
