How do I turn private browsing off without that under settings

The "Private" button to enable/disable Private Browsing mode is located on the top, left corner of the keyboard if you tap the address/search bar in Safari, or in the lower left-hand corner when you open a new tab (before tapping the address/search bar to bring up the keyboard).

I have the very same problem. No way to turn private browsing on or off, it's just not there. I have IOS 7.0.4

In safari there is a Do Not Track mode (green sliding button) no private browsing anything, no cross in upper right in safari , In settings under Privacy there is only a Location Services, which is on.

From what I have been reading here I do not have these functions that I need to use to turn privacy on or off. I'm really at a lost. As to what to do next. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

You don't turn privacy on/off it settings it is done on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right, then tap private in the lower left corner. The top of the screen will turn dark to let you know your in private.

The Privacy toggle is inside the App. Tap the Address bar to bring up the Keyboard, and look for the "Privacy" text on the top left corner of the keyboard.

If you are using a physical BT keyboard, you will need to open a new tab, and the privacy option will be at the bottom left corner.

Again, There is NO setting to turn off on SAFARI page. NO + sign in uper right ,nothing to tap in lower left corner, I wish there were. People on here do not get the FACT I DO NOT HAVE THESE FUCTINGS IN SAFARI. Does anyonce have a promlem like this?

Again, not in Settings, in the Actual Safari Browser App. Open the actual Safari Browser what do you see?

You should see something like this:

If you bring up the Keyboard the "Private" toggle should be shown there in Blue.

Why didn't you say that instead of asking how to turn it on in privacy. Are you us IOS 6.

I have no idea what you mean. "The privacy toggle is inside the App." I think I need step by step instructions.

Are we talking IPAD? again, in settings ,under Safari , none of the things written about are there.There was someone else on here with the same problem. under safari , nothing to turn on or off, just a NO NOT TRACT fuction under privacy and security in safari Does anybody have any ideas? Sorry but this is quite frustrating.

We are talking iPad yes.

Do you understand what "App" means?

On your iPad Open the Browser by tapping the Icon that looks like this:

On your homescreen. That icon is Safari.

Then Tap on the address bar, the place where you type the address of the site you wish to visit.

Thanks Philo , you are the best, thanks for being patient with a non savy tec guy like me.I did find what you told me to look for , the safari icon and private at the bottom. Thanks again , you were big help

Glad it worked.

This assumes you are running iOS 7 (To check, open the Settings app > General > About > Version). There is not a tool bar in Safari that contains Privacy per se. It is simply a button that appears at the bottom of the browser screen and only under certain circumstances. It does NOT appear when you have a tab open to a website, for example. And note that this is NOT in the Settings App. Open Safari. There are a couple of ways to access it:

1. Tap in the Address/Search bar. When the keyboard displays, your should see it at the top left of the keyboard.
2. If you have an active tab or tabs open, tap the + sign in the upper right corner of the app screen. This opens a blank tab, and will display the Private button in the lower left.

If you are indeed running iOS 7 and cannot find these controls, you might try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

But I suspect you are not looking in the correct place.

nevermind 😝
