How do I change private of my browser on my generation 9 IPad

I cannot figure out how to change my browser from private. I have went into Safari, and private is highlighted. According to other suggestions, all I had to do was tap on the private icon and it would change. That’s not working.

iPad, iPadOS 15

See the following from Browse privately in Safari on iPad - Apple Support

(and note that "Start Page" is a "different Tab Group)


To hide the sites and exit Private Browsing Mode, tap , then switch to a different Tab Group. The tabs reappear the next time you use Private Browsing Mode.

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:

Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPad - Apple Support


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.
