keep getting this message your ip address is hidden and your safari browsing activity is protected
i dont know why im getting this or how to stop it. any help appreciated
You can't stop the informative message.
You're getting that message because a privacy feature called iCloud Private Relay is likely enabled on your Apple device.This feature hides your IP address and encrypts your browsing activity in Safari.
Here's a breakdown of what iCloud Private Relay does:
- Hides IP address: Websites and services won't be able to see your exact location based on your IP address.
- Encrypts browsing activity: Your internet service provider (ISP) can't track the websites you visit while using Safari.
There are two main reasons you might be seeing this message:
- You enabled iCloud Private Relay: You might have turned it on intentionally for privacy reasons.
- Your device is set to automatically enable it: With a paid iCloud+ subscription, Private Relay can automatically activate on your devices.
