Start a Private Browsing Session in Safari on an iPhone 7 can be handled directly on a current iPhone, although some menu names have changed since older iOS versions. The steps below focus on the current interface and note important differences where they matter.
Steps to use the current setting
- Open the relevant app or Settings page on your iPhone.
- Locate the option described by the article title.
- Change the setting and confirm the result before leaving the screen.
Menu wording can vary slightly by iOS version and device model. If the named option is missing, use Settings search to locate the current equivalent rather than relying on an older menu path.
What to know
These instructions are written for current iPhone software rather than preserving an outdated model-specific path. If your device runs an older iOS release, the same feature may appear one level higher in Settings or use slightly different wording.
Private tabs are separated from your normal Safari tabs. On supported versions, private browsing can also be locked behind Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode when you leave Safari.
