In the Upper right corner of the screen, tap on the group of 4 squares. Once that page opens, where you see Private or # Tabs, tap on the downward pointing chevron. When the dropdown opens, select the Tabs group to close Private Browsing.

The method of accessing Private Browsing differs between iPadOS13/14 and iPadOS15.


These instructions relate to iPadOS13/14 only - as the support page has not been updated for iPadOS15:

The method used to access Private Browsing has changed for iPadOS15. To access Private Browsing in iPadOS15, it is necessary to first summon the Safari Sidebar using the button at upper left of the screen [1] - and from the menu tap the Private toggle button [2].



To return to regular browsing, tap the sidebar n Tabs button, that appears above the Private button.
