How to turn off private browsing in iOS 17 on iPhone?

Hi there starrynight7! Turning off private browsing on your iPhone is pretty straightforward. Here are the steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone
  2. Scroll down and tap on Screen Time
  3. Tap on Content & Privacy Restrictions
  4. If it’s not already enabled, turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions at the top
  5. Tap on Content Restrictions
  6. Scroll down to the Web Content section and tap Web Search Content
  7. Select “Limit Adult Websites” - this will disable private browsing

Once you do that, the private browsing option will be grayed out in Safari and can’t be enabled unless you go back into Screen Time settings.

Let me know if you have any other questions! It can take a little hunting around in the settings sometimes to find the right options. But blocking private browsing is a good idea, especially if little ones ever use your phone.
