Incognito tabs are separate from your regular Chrome tabs.

If you have an Incognito tab open and you open another one, your private browsing session will continue in the new tab. To exit, close all Incognito tabs.

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Chrome app .
  2. At the bottom, tap Switch tabs .
  3. Swipe right to find your open Incognito tabs.
  4. Choose the tab you want to close. At the top right of the tab, tap Close .
