Private browsing (new private window) accessible despite screen time restrictions set to limit adult websites

Hi there,

I have noticed that after updating my iPad to iOS 17, there is now an option to open a new private window in safari by holding down the tabs button in the top right corner of the screen which I believe wasn’t there before. I have set my screen time restrictions to limit adult websites and yet I can still access this private window. I always thought that the screen time setting ‘limit adult websites’ prevented private browsing.

It’s important to note that the issue only occurs on my iPad and not my iPhone - the ‘new private window’ option is only available on my iPad and not my iPhone which makes me think that it may be a glitch or bug that needs to be fixed.

I would appreciate any help and advice to prevent this being visible or accessible. Ideally I would like a way to disable private browsing altogether including this ‘new private window’ option.
