It’s about blocking access to “incognito” tabs using Face ID or Touch ID. This will come in handy if you don’t want to reopen all the private tabs each time – you can leave them as is and retain access to them with biometrics. Then strangers will not see the contents of the “incognito mode” section.

How to

To lock tabs:

• Open Chrome on your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Go to the top row of buttons and click “Options”.
• Under Privacy & Security, turn on “Block incognito tabs when Chrome is closed”.
• Click OK in the pop-up window, then click Done.

Now, after logging out and back in the app, you (and everyone else) will have to scan your finger or face to access the incognito tabs.

Features of “Incognito” mode

Many people think that this mod hides the user from tracking companies, ad trackers and often masks him on the Internet. However, this is not the case. HE it is only designed to leave no traces on your device. In incognito mode, Chrome doesn’t save your browsing history or form information, and cookies and site data are deleted when you sign out. At the same time, your provider sees all the traffic from your device, and sites collect information about you: IP address, location, language and more.
