Question

is there a way to look at history IF it is done on private browsing?

Here is my dilemma...In point blank terms, My partner has an IPAD 3...and has a serious problem looking at ****..and then clearing his history... I have gone into Safari,-advanced-web data and found all the websites that are visited. After confronting the jerk, I KNOW now that he is either deleting each **** website manually OR private browsing them. I have already disabled safari, but that doesn't work because by doing that one cannot even get on Yahoo!! So I am sick of the promises that he isn't not looking...I just need to know if he is lying..which my gut tells me, if you want something bad enough, you will find a way...

My gut also tells me, that there is got to be a way for me to check...I need step by step instructions from anyone who has figured out all aspects of an IPAD 3..

--I want to know how to "see" what he has privately browsed

--I want to know how to "see" what he has deleted

--I want to know if being his IPhone 5s and Ipad 3 are synced, is what I have found on the Iphone (**** sites) but they are NOT on the Ipad, so does that mean he browsed privately, but forgot to click on "private" on the Iphone?

--I also want to know if I synced both of our IPads, will what he looks at thru safari privately or not show up on my IPad Air? (most likely not, but I need to ask)

I do not want to put ssome secret "app", in this day and age, there has got to be ins and outs of finding out deleted and private history..I just need the steps from step 1, real simple like so I can understand and do them...

I would so appreciate anyones help...this is twisting my gut in a knot...and its affecting all things...what I hate more than a partner looking at ****, is the LIE..I just need to know so I can be at peace...Thanks to all in advance...

The whole point of private browsing is that it's private. If you're in a relationship with someone who likes to look at legal adult content (which is pretty normal behavior, by the way) and that is upsetting you, you are the one with the problem, not them. Either deal with it or find a partner who doesn't have preferences that upset you so much. While I agree that lying is really not a good way to run a relationship, I suspect that your partner is lying to avoid dealing with your disapproval (anger? rage?). I agree with robdrage on this: accept or leave.

And to answer the tecnical aspects of your post in detail:

--I want to know how to "see" what he has privately browsed

You can't.

-I want to know how to "see" what he has deleted.

You can't.

--I want to know if being his IPhone 5s and Ipad 3 are synced, is what I have found on the Iphone (**** sites) but they are NOT on the Ipad, so does that mean he browsed privately, but forgot to click on "private" on the Iphone? --

What is browsed on one device has nothing to do with what is browsed on any other device. If you see something in a browser history in the iPhone, then either he didn't click "private" or didn't clear the history on that device.

I also want to know if I synced both of our IPads, will what he looks at thru safari privately or not show up on my IPad Air? (most likely not, but I need to ask)

No. Again, browser history is not synced to other devices.

If he's surfing and either using Private Browsing or clearing the history, then there's no way you can see what sites he's visited. You'll just have to decide how to deal with that from there.

Why do you not just respect his 'right" to privacy and leave him alone.

If he is an adult, he has every right to view what he chooses, you do not own him.

If you are not happy that he is lieing to you,(have you thought maybe he is lying because you are not seeing his perspective) then leave him and move on with your life.

He will not change his behavior just because youwant him to.
