Don’t Watch Adult Videos, Even In Incognito Mode, Until You Turn This Off

Key technological concepts / product features

• Incognito mode isn’t fully private by default on mobile
  • Even in private/incognito browsing, browser tabs and visited-site traces may persist in memory after closing the browser.
  • Risk described: someone reopening the browser could see what was viewed in incognito mode.

Android (Chrome) guide / tutorial steps

In Google Chrome:

1. Open Chrome and tap three dots (top-right) → Settings
2. Go to Privacy and security
3. Enable “Lock incognito tabs when you leave Chrome”

Benefit: When you leave or close Chrome, incognito tabs won’t remain accessible, reducing accidental exposure.

iOS (Safari) guide / tutorial steps

In iPhone Settings:

1. Go to Main Settings → All Apps
2. Select Safari
3. Find Privacy and security
4. Turn on “Require Face ID to unlock private browsing”

Benefit: Private browsing requires Face ID authentication, adding a lock to protect access.

Clearing leftover incognito traces (Chrome DNS cache)

The video notes that incognito history may not be completely absent; some information (e.g., visited sites) can remain.

To clear a browser-level cache on Android Chrome:

1. Open Chrome
2. Open Incognito mode
3. In the address/search bar, go to: chrome://net-internals
4. Navigate to DNS
5. Tap “Clear host cache”
