Is Safari’s “private browsing” setting actually private?

By preventing online trackers from storing your browsing history on your device, Safari private browsing mode improves your privacy. However, it does not ensure total internet privacy. Your activities can still be monitored by your internet service provider ( ISP), network administrators, and websites.

To increase your privacy, you can also use private search engines. Additionally, you should think about using a VPN for Safari if you want to increase the security of your browsing.

Your online activity is encrypted by a reputable VPN, which also conceals your IP address from potential snoopers using public Wi-Fi. With its Threat Protection Lite, NordVPN also provides cutting-edge security features like blocking malicious and phishing domains for iOS. These tools give you more online privacy and peace of mind and are simple to enable and use.
