Your phone is likely a daily companion, giving you access to work emails, chats with friends, weather reports, and more \u2014 all in the palm of your hand. You can also use your phone for browsing online, looking up everything from your favorite recipes to your most-read media <\/span>webpages<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While being able to browse whenever and wherever you want is convenient, you might prefer that your phone doesn\u2019t save all your online searches. For example, if you frequently let other people use your phone, you may not want them to have access to a history of your Google searches. In this case, you can use <\/span>private browsing<\/span><\/a> or “<\/span>incognito mode<\/span>.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This allows you to browse online without leaving any trace of your browsing activity on your mobile phone. Configuring your phone to use <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> can give you greater confidence while surfing online, as you\u2019ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your browser history isn\u2019t recorded on your device.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This article explains what <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> is and how you can set it up on your mobile phone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is I<\/span><\/b>ncognito Mode<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Incognito mode<\/span> allows you to browse online without leaving certain data on the device you\u2019re using. Also referred to as <\/span>private browsing mode<\/span>, it makes sure there\u2019s no record of your <\/span>search engine<\/span> history, websites you visited, and even login details (and related passcodes) on that device.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As soon as you close the incognito <\/span>web browser window<\/span>, any cookies are erased and all these details disappear instead of being saved.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, if you leave an incognito <\/span>browser window<\/span> open on your phone \u2014\u202fand then hand your phone to someone else \u2014\u202fthey\u2019ll be able to see the activity. So, if you want to make the most of <\/span>incognito mode<\/span>, make sure to close the <\/span>browser window<\/span> after every surfing session.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, if you actively <\/span>bookmark<\/span> a page, it will be saved \u2014\u202feven if you\u2019re in <\/span>incognito mode<\/span>. Read on for some more caveats surrounding <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> and the extent of privacy it gives you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is <\/span><\/b>incognito mode<\/span><\/b> really <\/span><\/b>private browsing<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s important to note that <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> or <\/span>private browsing mode<\/span> is a <\/span>device<\/span><\/i>-specific privacy measure. It makes sure that your search and web <\/span>browsing history<\/span> isn\u2019t visible on the device itself.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, your traffic and activity are both still visible to third parties beyond your device, such as your network admin, <\/span>internet service provider<\/span> (<\/span>ISP<\/span>), and the websites and <\/span>search engines<\/span> that you visit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Viewing <\/span>in private<\/span> or <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> also won\u2019t disguise your unique IP address from these parties. <\/span>Incognito mode<\/span> further doesn\u2019t secure your device against cyberthreats like hackers.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, there are plenty of other tools you can use to safeguard your device against cybercriminals. For example, <\/span>McAfee+<\/span><\/a> helps to secure your <\/span>Wi-Fi<\/span> connection, shield you from malicious websites or links, and detect malware.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I Get I<\/span><\/b>ncognito Mode<\/span><\/b> on my Phone?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

You may already be familiar with <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> through your computer. For example, many people set up <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> through browsers like <\/span>Mozilla<\/span> Firefox<\/span>, <\/span>Google Chrome<\/span>, <\/span>Safari<\/span>, <\/span>Microsoft Edge<\/span>, or Internet Explorer.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> isn\u2019t just for computers \u2014\u202fyou can also use it on your phone\u2019s web browsing apps.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to turn on <\/span><\/b>incognito mode<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

The steps to setting up <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> are fairly straightforward. That said, it depends largely on which type of device you have.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting up <\/span>private browsing<\/span> or <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> for an <\/span>Android<\/span> isn\u2019t the same as setting it up for <\/span>iOS<\/span>. Read on to learn <\/span>how to go incognito<\/span> whether you\u2019ve got an <\/span>Apple<\/span> iPhone<\/span> or an <\/span>Android phone<\/span> like <\/span>Samsung<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Private browsing<\/span><\/b> on your <\/span><\/b>Android device<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

The process for setting up <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> also varies based on the browser you\u2019re using. Here\u2019s how to set it up in the <\/span>Google Chrome browser<\/span> for your <\/span>Android<\/span> (note that the <\/span>Google Chrome app<\/span> is the <\/span>default browser<\/span> for most <\/span>Android phones<\/span>):<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Chrome<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Tap the three dots at the <\/span>top-right corner<\/span> of the screen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Tap \u201c<\/span>New incognito tab<\/span>.\u201d This will open up a <\/span>new incognito window<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Close the <\/span>incognito window<\/span> to end the incognito session.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Remember, for <\/span>Google Chrome\u2019s incognito mode<\/span> to do the trick, you need to close your <\/span>browsing session<\/span> after each use. If you leave the tab open and someone else uses your phone, they can see your activity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Private browsing<\/span><\/b> on your <\/span><\/b>iPhone<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

    For <\/span>iPhones<\/span>, the <\/span>default browser<\/span> is <\/span>Safari<\/span>. Here\u2019s how to set up <\/span>private browsing<\/span> in <\/span>Safari<\/span> for your <\/span>iPhone<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open <\/span>Safari<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Tap the <\/span>tab icon<\/span> at the <\/span>bottom right<\/span> of the screen (it looks like two overlapping squares).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Tap \u201cprivate\u201d at the bottom-left of the screen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. To exit private mode, tap \u201cprivate\u201d again.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Again, remember to close your browser\u2019s <\/span>private tabs<\/span> when you\u2019re done surfing. This makes sure that cookies are deleted and the private session is safely hidden from your device\u2019s history.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Do certain apps offer <\/span><\/b>incognito mode<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

      The above steps can help you set up <\/span>incognito mode<\/span> on your <\/span>Apple<\/span> or <\/span>Android phone<\/span>\u2019s browser. However, you probably use your phone for much more than browsing.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      You might have apps for watching videos, getting driving directions, listening to music, and more. And the tips above will only protect your privacy when using the phone\u2019s browser \u2014 not apps.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      That said, some apps offer their very own in-app <\/span>incognito mode<\/span>. Examples include YouTube, Google Maps, Spotify, and Instagram. Other apps simply offer the option of private sessions, requiring you to log in with a dedicated username and password if you\u2019re going to use the app. These include Whatsapp, Dropbox, Amazon, PayPal, and Evernote.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Some of these apps can even be configured so they\u2019re only unlockable with touch ID or face ID.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Enhance Your Device\u2019s Security<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

      Browsing in incognito or private mode on your phone allows you to surf online without leaving any trace of your <\/span>search history<\/span> on that specific device. However, it doesn\u2019t block third parties like your <\/span>internet service provider<\/span> or network administrator from seeing what websites you\u2019ve visited. Only your phone is affected.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Incognito mode<\/span> also doesn\u2019t protect you against potential cyberthreats, like malware. To stay safe and browse with confidence, consider McAfee Mobile Security. It includes <\/span>Wi-Fi<\/span> privacy protection, browsing safeguards, shields against unauthorized third-party activities, and more \u2014 and it works for <\/span>Android<\/span> and <\/span>iOS<\/span> devices. <\/span>Find out more<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
