Browse privately in Safari on iPhone

You can adjust settings in the Safari app to keep your browsing activities private and protect yourself from malicious websites.

Control privacy and security settings for Safari

Go to Settings  > Safari, then below Privacy & Security, turn any of the following on or off:

  • Prevent Cross-Site Tracking: Safari limits third-party cookies and data by default. Turn this option off to allow cross-site tracking.

  • Block All Cookies: To prevent websites from adding cookies to your iPhone, go to Settings > Safari, then turn on Block All Cookies. (To remove cookies already on iPhone, go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.)

  • Fraudulent Website Warning: Safari displays a warning if you’re visiting a suspected phishing website.

When you visit a website using Safari that isn’t secure, a warning appears in the Safari search field.

Erase your browsing history and data

Go to Settings  > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.

Visit sites without making history

Tap the Pages button, then tap Private.

While Private Browsing Mode is on, the Safari background is black instead of white, and sites you visit don’t appear in History on iPhone or in the list of tabs on your other devices.

To hide the sites and exit Private Browsing Mode, tap the Pages button, then tap Private again. The sites reappear the next time you use Private Browsing Mode.
