- To close Incognito tabs on the preloaded Safari, tap on the tab icon > select X icon on top of the tabs.
- You can also long-press on the tabs and get the option to close them, which is similar across all browsers.
- Browsers like Google Chrome, Edge and Firefox also let you clear all private tabs in one go through the tab overview.
Whether you are using the preloaded Safari browser on your iPhone or are on Google Chrome or Edge, Incognito mode is easily the most important feature of these browsers. However, if you have finally decided to break free from the shackles of privacy and turn off Incognito mode, each browser has a slightly different way of going about it, especially on the interface front. So, we have curated this detailed guide on how to turn off Incognito mode on your iPhone. Let’s take a look!
Turn Off Private Browsing on Safari
Safari lets you close individual private tabs as well as clear all of them. The process of doing so is pretty similar, too, which you can check out in our Turn Off Private Browsing on Safari guide. To give you a quick rundown, just like on Chrome, you will need to head over to tab overview and tap on the small X icon to close tabs. To close all tabs, you can simply long-press a tab and hit Select Tabs, after which you can close them all at once.
Switch Off Incognito Mode on Google Chrome
- When on an Incognito tab on Chrome, head over to tab overview by tapping on the tab icon at the bottom right.
- Then, simply hit the small X icon on top of the tab you want to close to clear it. You can also clear all your tabs this way.
- Alternatively, you can long press on a tab and select Close tab from here to clear it, although this is a slower process.
- However, if you have a tad too many tabs open, tap on the Edit button at the bottom left inside the tab overview.
- Then, you can select Close All Tabs to clear all your Incognito tabs.
Turn Off InPrivate Browsing on Microsoft Edge
- When on an InPrivate tab, tap on the tab icon on the bottom right and get into the tab overview.
- Here, swipe left on the tabs that you want to close.
- Alternatively, you can long press on a tab and select Close Tab.
- To close all tabs, when in the tab overview, you can simply hit the Close All button at the bottom left.
- Next, in the confirmation window, hit Close and that should do it.
Turn Off Private Window on Firefox
- When on a private Firefox tab, navigate to the tab overview by tapping on the tab icon at the bottom right.
- Then, you can swipe either left or right on tabs to get rid of them. This way, you can quickly close all your private Firefox tabs.
- Alternatively, you can long press on them and select Close Tab from here, which is a bit more time-consuming.
- To close all your private Firefox tabs, when in the tab overview, you can hit the trash icon at the bottom left.
- Next, in the confirmation window, simply hit Close All Tabs and that’s about it!
If you’re on any other browser outside the ones we have listed, the process should mostly be the same. Finding a way to get into the tab overview of a browser is the key! Once that’s done, the rest of it falls into place, and you will find turning off Incognito mode super easy. Anyway, that brings us to the end of this guide.
