Now, private browsing has been available in Safari for many years, and if you’re not sure, it’s when you can browse the internet without leaving a search history or saving cookies on your device. So, for example, if you’re doing some Christmas shopping for your fiancée and you don’t want her to find out what you’ve been searching for, you could use a private browsing window for that. In iOS 17, you can now use Face ID or Touch ID to protect your private tabs, which means they’re more secure than ever. To enable this feature, all I’m going to do is go into the Settings app and then scroll down until I reach Safari. From here, we’re then going to scroll down to Private Browsing and enable that secure mode. Then, when I go back into Safari, back into my private tab, you’ll notice straight away Face ID does a check to make sure it’s me accessing that tab. And just like that, my private browsing is now more secure than ever before. And this is just another small way that iOS 17 improves your iPhone experience.
