I have noticed a major issue with my iPhone. No matter what I try, I can’t open a private tab in Safari. This is not good, as it means I have to manually clear my cookies (which is impractical) or disable them altogether (which breaks some sites).
As of today, I have an adult Apple ID, but my dad is the organiser of the Apple family.
I have tried disabling content restrictions in Screen Time, but it didn’t do anything. Web Content is set to “unrestricted”.
There is no switch or button in Settings > Safari.
I have no configuration profiles installed that could change this. All I have are a few root certificates, a bunch of fonts, and an APN cert.
Private mode is fully functional in third-party browsers, but they do not support extensions or userscripts and provide marginally worse fingerprinting protection.
Can anyone help?
I’m guessing the answer to this will be yes but under family sharing your account now say adult and there is no longer a passcode used to lock your screen time settings correct? I’m guessing so. So all the above being true I would try the old turn off and on trick but in this case turn on then off. I would try turning web content to Limit Adult Websites performing a iPhone force restart, after restarting edit settings back to unrestricted and performing another iPhone force restart and checking if you have access to private browsing.
I just tried it, but still no private tabs. Thanks anyway, it was a good idea.
As it happens, though, there is still a passcode protecting the screen time settings.
