Random sites I’ve never been to showing up in bookmarks and history

i always keep safari on private mode on my phone so I don’t have any search history, but I do have a few bookmarks. But occasionally a site I’ve never been to would be in my bookmarks or when I’m entering in the search bar, under bookmarks and history a random site I’ve never been to would be there although my history is empty and I don’t have it bookmarked. They’re still there even when I go to clear history and webdata. I’m just wondering if this is unusual or should be a concern.



iPhone 7, iOS 12

Hello, juli801.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! Private Browsing protects your private information and blocks some websites from tracking your search behavior. There may be additional settings to enable on your device.


I recommend checking the additional privacy settings listed here: Browse privately in Safari on iPhone - Apple Support


I hope this helps! Take care.
