How To Cancel Incognito Mode On Your Smartphone?

In another example of how Google is looking to gain market share in the mobile space, the company announced in June 2018 that it was making a new private browsing mode for its Chrome web browser, called Incognito Mode. If you’ve used Chrome before, you might be confused as to why there needs to be an Incognito Mode just for Chrome. After all, there are other browsers like Firefox and Opera with their own Incognito modes. So what makes this one any different? Well, the new incognito mode on Android is meant to be much more accessible than its predecessors. It’s also available on all devices running Android 9 Pie or newer, unlike some manufacturers that lock out access to specific privacy-focused features.

What Is Incognito Mode?

In the context of a web browser, Incognito Mode creates a new, temporary browsing session that is not saved. This means that none of the websites you visited or metadata will be saved to your device. While your browsing history is only saved on your device and is not sent to Google, it’s important to remember that things like cookies and other local data will stay on your device. This means that even if you clear your browser history, cookies from websites you visited while in Incognito Mode may still be saved and visible. When you’re in Incognito Mode, any searches you perform are not connected to your Google account, and websites won’t be able to access other data on your device, like your location or your device’s unique identifier. While in Incognito Mode, your device will also not receive any automatic updates, such as new apps or security patches.

How To Turn On Incognito Mode On Android?

1. Navigate to the Settings app.
2. Under ‘General’, tap on ‘Incognito Mode’.
3. Tap on the toggle switch to turn Incognito Mode on and then tap on ‘OK’ to confirm the setting change.
4. When prompted, tap on ‘OK’ to confirm the setting change and then tap on ‘Done’ to exit Settings.

What To Know Before Using Incognito Mode?

1. Incognito Mode does not delete all of your browsing histories, so if you use Incognito Mode to browse about the web, you will still be able to see the browsing history of other Incognito users.
2. If you’re using incognito mode on a public computer, anyone can access your browsing history by simply clicking on your browser’s address bar.
3. When you exit Incognito Mode, all of your browsing data is sent to Google, which means that even if you clear your browser or device history, any websites that you visited while in Incognito Mode may still be saved and visible.
4. Incognito Mode is not a replacement for the browser extension Ghostery, which will block cookies and trackers from third-party websites while in Incognito Mode.
5. If you’re in Incognito Mode on a public computer, you should consider using private browsing mode instead. Private browsing mode will keep your browsing history private and will not send your browsing data to Google, but it does not hide your device’s IP address (and it doesn’t allow for multiple users on the same device).
6. If you’re in Incognito Mode on a shared computer, you should consider using a password manager to help prevent others from accessing your browsing history.
7. You can use Incognito Mode with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge without any additional software.
