If you’re using Chrome on your iOS device and want to turn off Incognito Mode for any reason, this article will guide you through the process step-by-step.
Understanding Incognito Mode
Before we dive into the steps of turning off Incognito Mode in Chrome on iOS, let’s first understand what it is and why people use it. Incognito Mode is a browser feature that lets you browse the web privately without storing any cookies or search history.
This means that your browsing activity won’t be tracked by websites or other third-party apps.
People use Incognito Mode for various reasons, including:
- Browsing private information, such as online banking or medical records
- Shopping online without leaving a trace
- Surfing the web anonymously
- Avoiding website tracking and ads
Steps to Turn Off Incognito Mode in Chrome on iOS
Now that you understand what Incognito Mode is and why people use it, let’s move on to the steps of turning off Incognito Mode in Chrome on iOS:
-
Open the Chrome browser on your iOS device. To do this, tap the Chrome icon on your home screen and swipe up from the bottom to open it.
-
Once you have opened the Chrome browser, tap the three-dot menu at the top right corner of the screen. This will reveal a dropdown menu with various options.
-
From the dropdown menu, select “Settings.” This will take you to the settings page for Chrome on your iOS device.
-
On the settings page, scroll down until you find the “Privacy” section. Tap on this to access the privacy settings for Chrome.

Why Turn Off Incognito Mode?
While Incognito Mode is useful for private browsing, there are times when you might need to turn it off. Here are some reasons why you might want to turn off Incognito Mode:
-
Sign in to websites with your account information: If you’re using Incognito Mode, your website logins and other personal information won’t be saved. This means that every time you visit the same website, you’ll have to sign in again. Turning off Incognito Mode allows you to save your login information for faster access in the future.
-
Save bookmarks: If you use bookmarks to save your favorite websites or pages, turning off Incognito Mode ensures that these bookmarks are saved across all browsing sessions.
-
Access website-specific settings and preferences: Some websites allow users to customize their browsing experience with website-specific settings and preferences. Turning off Incognito Mode allows you to access these settings and preferences across all browsing sessions.
