How To Enable Private Browsing With Face ID In Safari
To begin, open the “Settings“ app on your iPhone home screen. Scroll down the list of options until you find “Safari.”
Within the Safari settings, look for the option labeled “Require Face ID to Unlock Private Browsing.” You’ll notice that, by default, this feature is disabled. To activate it, simply toggle the switch next to it.
Now that you’ve enabled the Face ID lock for private browsing, make sure it works as intended. Open the Safari app. You should see “Private Browsing Is Locked.” Simply tap on “Unlock” to use your Face ID to unlock private browsing.
With Face ID now enabled, your device will prompt you to authenticate yourself using Face ID before granting access to private browsing mode. This extra layer of security ensures that only you can access your private browsing sessions, even if someone else gains physical access to your iPhone.
