iOS 15: How to switch to private browsing on iPhone using Safari

Safari got an overhaul in iOS 15, and while there are many improvements and changes, some features aren't found where they used to be. Read on to learn how to switch to iPhone private browsing in Safari with iOS 15.

As a refresher, here's how Apple describes Private Browsing Mode:

Safari won't remember the pages, searches you've visited when you close a tab in Private Browsing Mode History or autofill information.

Private Browsing in iOS 15 Could Be “Who Moved My Cheese?” This is a big moment for many users because it’s more private than iOS 14 and earlier --unless you know the shortcut.

In addition to the private browsing feature, Apple also launched iCloud Private Relay with iOS 15, available on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
