Why I Turn Off Incognito Mode on My iPhone

Turning off incognito mode has its benefits. I can track my browsing habits, save passwords, and keep a history of my visits. It makes things easier when I need to come back to a site later. I also like how my autofill works again once I’m out of incognito mode, saving me time for things like entering login details or filling out forms.

Additionally, turning off incognito mode helps when I need to check if a website has updates or changes. With regular browsing, I can also take advantage of syncing between devices, so I’m not starting from scratch each time.

If I ever want to toggle it back on, it’s simple. Just follow the same steps to enable private browsing when needed. It’s all about balancing privacy and convenience.

Exiting Incognito Mode Made Easy
