  **Safari** is the default browser in iOS. It includes [privacy features](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/browse-the-web-privately-iphb01fc3c85/15.0/ios/15.0) such as Intelligent Tracking Protection, Privacy Report, isolated Private Browsing tabs, iCloud Private Relay, and automatic HTTPS upgrades.
 | 
			
		||||
 |

  These options can be found in *Privacy and Security* (⚙️ Settings → Safari → Privacy and Security).

  ##### **Cross-Site Tracking Prevention**
 | 
			
		||||
  Toggling this setting enables WebKit's [Intelligent Tracking Protection](https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/#intelligent-tracking-prevention-itp).

 | 
			
		||||
  ##### **Privacy Report**
 | 
			
		||||
  Privacy Report provides a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you're visiting. It can also display a weekly report to show which trackers have been blocked over time.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
  Privacy Report is accessible through the **Aa** icon in the URL bar.

  This is Apple's own implementation of private ad tracking. If you don't wish to participate, you can disable this feature.

  This is WebKit's own [implementation](https://webkit.org/blog/8943/privacy-preserving-ad-click-attribution-for-the-web/) of privacy preserving ad click attribution. If you do not wish to participate, you can disable this feature.

  ##### **Always-on Private Tabs**
 | 
			
		||||
  Open Safari and press the tabs button at the bottom right corner. In the bottom middle press the downward facing arrow.

		||||
  ##### **Always-on Private Browsing**

  #### Sync
 | 
			
		||||
  History, tabs, and iCloud tabs are end-to-end encrypted. However, bookmarks are [not](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303). Although they are stored in an encrypted form, it is possible for Apple to decrypt them.
 | 
			
		||||
  #### iCloud Sync
 | 
			
		||||
  While synchronization of Safari History, Tab Groups, and iCloud Tabs is end-to-end encrypted, bookmarks are [not](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303); they are only encrypted in transit and stored in an encrypted format on Apple's servers. Apple may be able to decrypt and access them.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
  If you use iCloud, we also recommend checking to ensure Safari's default download location is set to locally on your device. This option can be found in *General* (⚙️ Settings → Safari → General → Downloads).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
  #### Extensions
 | 
			
		||||
  We generally do not recommend installing [any extensions](https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/inside-safari-extensions-malware-golden-key-user-data/) as they increase your browser's [attack surface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_surface); however, if you want content blocking, [AdGuard for Safari](/browsers/#additional-resources) might be useful to you.
