**Safari** is the default browser in iOS. It includes [privacy features](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/browse-the-web-privately-iphb01fc3c85/15.0/ios/15.0) such as tracking protection, isolated private tabs, iCloud Private Relay to hide your IP address from trackers, and automatic https upgrade.
**Safari** is the default browser in iOS. It includes [privacy features](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/browse-the-web-privately-iphb01fc3c85/15.0/ios/15.0) such as Intelligent Tracking Protection, Privacy Report, isolated Private Browsing tabs, iCloud Private Relay, and automatic HTTPS upgrades.
These options can be found in *Privacy and Security* (⚙️ Settings → Safari → Privacy and Security).
##### **Cross-Site Tracking Prevention**
Toggling this setting enables WebKit's [Intelligent Tracking Protection](https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/#intelligent-tracking-prevention-itp).

</ul>
##### **Privacy Report**
Privacy Report provides a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you're visiting. It can also display a weekly report to show which trackers have been blocked over time.
Privacy Report is accessible through the **Aa** icon in the URL bar.
##### **Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement**
This is Apple's own implementation of private ad tracking. If you don't wish to participate, you can disable this feature.

##### **Always-on Private Tabs**
Open Safari and press the tabs button at the bottom right corner. In the bottom middle press the downward facing arrow.
##### **Always-on Private Browsing**

#### Sync
History, tabs, and iCloud tabs are end-to-end encrypted. However, bookmarks are [not](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303). Although they are stored in an encrypted form, it is possible for Apple to decrypt them.
#### iCloud Sync
While synchronization of Safari History, Tab Groups, and iCloud Tabs is end-to-end encrypted, bookmarks are [not](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303); they are only encrypted in transit and stored in an encrypted format on Apple's servers. Apple may be able to decrypt and access them.
If you use iCloud, we also recommend checking to ensure Safari's default download location is set to locally on your device. This option can be found in *General* (⚙️ Settings → Safari → General → Downloads).
#### Extensions
We generally do not recommend installing [any extensions](https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/inside-safari-extensions-malware-golden-key-user-data/) as they increase your browser's [attack surface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_surface); however, if you want content blocking, [AdGuard for Safari](/browsers/#additional-resources) might be useful to you.
