In modern versions of iOS, Safari shows detailed privacy report right on the start page. Hence, you can keep a track of the number of trackers the browser has prevented from profiling you and what percentage of websites contacted trackers.
While this feature is well-thought-out, not everyone may want to buy it. Especially those who want to see a clean start page. If that’s you, let me show you how to hide Safari privacy report on iPhone.
Remove Safari Privacy Report from Start Page on iPhone
No matter how big a feature is, it may not be able to win every one. That’s the reason why it’s better to give the desired flexibility to users so that they can go back and forth depending on their needs. In this regard, Apple has lived up to the expectation as far as privacy report is concerned.
1. To get started, open the Safari app on your iPhone.
2. Now, tap on the tabs icon at the bottom right corner of the screen.
3. Next, tap on the “+” button at the bottom left corner of the screen.
4. Next up, tap on the Edit button.
5. Up next, turn off the toggle for Privacy Report.
6. In the end, tap on the “X” button at the top right corner of the screen to finish.
That’s done! Safari privacy report will no longer appear on the start page. Of course, if you ever want to get it back, go back to Safari’s edit menu and then turn on the switch for Privacy Report.
Signing Off…
Though Safari may not be the most popular browser across platforms, it stands out from the rest in terms of security and privacy. Recently, Apple has introduced a host of notable features to let you safeguard your privacy.
Features like the ability to prevent cross-site tracking, hide IP address, and also block fraudulent website warnings have played a vital role in boosting the security and privacy aspect. Not to mention, Apple’s browser has also got a top-notch incognito aka private browsing mode that allows you to browse the web anonymously.
As we are talking about Safari, I would like to take your attention to some of the notable posts that we have covered recently including how to disable Safari autoplay videos, limit browsing to specific Safari tab groups, close all Safari tabs (automatically and manually), and show/hide frequently visited websites.
