Private Browsing Mode

Some how by accident my iPhone 7 went into private browsing mode. How do I get to go back?

In a Safari iOS window touch on the icon which looks like two pages close together. This is the tab icon.


A new set of options opens up. In the centre is the currently selected option: Private and a downward facing indicator. If you touch on Private all your other tab names appear. Touch on one of these to leave Private and to go to another tab.

First off, thank you for each and every concern. 2ndly, don’t ask me how I got out of that “private” mode, but somehow I did. Me, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost, we prevailed.

To be honest, I do not know how, or what I did to get into that fine mess, in the beginning. I’m blaming “operating device while lying down and shaking phone out of frustration”.

Thank you all!!
