How To Not Leave Browsing History On Your iOS Device By Using Safari in Private Browsing Mode


If you share a iOS device with someone else, you may not want them seeing what you've been searching for on the web - because you know, maybe you were buying them a Christmas present and don't want to ruin the surprise or you don't want to stay logged-in to a web page ...or something like that.

There is a way built-in to iOS to keep your browsing history cleared.

Just to make clear - this does not hide your browsing history from your internet service provider, or hide you on the page you visit. This will just make your device not keep a history.

Private Browsing mode in Safari is controlled in the Settings app. Unfortunately there's no quick way to switch it on or off, or have say one tab open normally and one in private.  Also switching to Private Browsing Mode will close any open tabs.


To activate Private Browsing mode in Safari on either iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, follow these steps:

  • Open the Settings app on your Home Screen.
    • Scroll down and press Safari.
      • On the page will be Private Browsing. Switch it to 'On'.

      On this page is also other settings you may want to change like your default search engine, auto fill options, and whether or not to open new links in a new page or in the background.

      It's easy to tell when Safari is in Private Browsing mode as the interface will appear in a cool dark theme. (like the image above).
