Lock Your Private Tabs Behind Face ID or Touch ID
A new feature in iOS 17 is the ability to lock your private tabs. That way, even if you leave incognito mode open in Safari, no one will be able to access the tabs you were checking without authenticating with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
To lock your private tabs in Safari, do the following:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Safari.
- Scroll down again, and under Privacy & Security, tap on Require Face ID to Unlock Private Browsing.
