**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).
|
|
|
|
<ul style="list-style-type:none;padding-left:0;">
|
|
<li>Toggle On: <strong>Prevent Cross-Site Tracking</strong>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
##### **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.
|
|
|
|
##### **Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement**
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
<ul style="list-style-type:none;padding-left:0;">
|
|
<li>Toggle Off: <strong>Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement</strong>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
##### **Apple Pay**
|
|
If you do not use Apple Pay, you can toggle off the ability for websites to check for it.
|
|
|
|
<ul style="list-style-type:none;padding-left:0;">
|
|
<li>Toggle Off: <strong>Check for Apple Pay</strong>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
##### **Always-on Private Browsing**
|
|
Open Safari and press the tabs icon in the bottom right corner. Open Tab Groups, located in the bottom middle.
|
|
|
|
<ul style="list-style-type:none;padding-left:0;">
|
|
<li>Select: <strong>Private</strong>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
