Why is Safari private browsing remembering my searches and autofilling them?

After exiting private browsing, anything I searched in while in private will autofill, but does not show up in my history. How do I fix this and keep this from happening again? (on an iPhone)

Hello Rosh20,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


We understand you're seeing privately browsed websites appearing with autofill on Safari. We'll be glad to assist.


To help fix this, you can remove the history of websites you've previously visited. Follow the steps here to complete this: Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Then follow the steps here to use private browsing: Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone or iPod touch

Test and let us know the result.


Have a nice day.
