Privacy function

I accidentally turned on the privacy function on my I pad and I don’t know how to turn it off. So now I can’t store histories and other pertinent information. Help please.

If you have enabled the Safari Privacy mode, it is just as easy to disable:


  1. Open Safari on your iPad.
  2. Tap the new page button . 
  3. Tap Private, then tap Done.

I hope this information proves to be helpful in resolving your difficulty.
