Can’t turn off private browsing! I see someone asked the same question in March of 22 but, they received no answer.
I’ve followed directions found on web multiple times with no success.
I did not turn on private browse to the best of my knowledge but, did upgrade to iOS 16.5 recently.
Can someone shed any light?
