So I followed the instructions as given with no success. What worked for me was, there was a new page button that did not work. What I did and it did work was, I kept deleting the page, clicking again and again on the fake new page button. Removed the page again and again. Finially a new page button with a link under it. I click it and the rest worked. Still wish I did not update.


This is because the described process, marked as “Apple recommended” is incorrect for iPadOS15.


The method of accessing Private Browsing differs between iPadOS13/14 and iPadOS15.


These instructions previously given relate to iPadOS13/14 only; the associated support page has not yet been updated for iPadOS15:

Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPad - Apple Support


The method used to access Private Browsing has changed for iPadOS15. To access Private Browsing in iPadOS15, it is necessary to first summon the Safari Sidebar using the button at upper left of the screen [1] - and from the menu tap the Private toggle button [2].



To return to regular browsing, tap the sidebar n Tabs button, that appears above the Private button.
