iPhone keeps opening Safari on Private Browsing

If your iPhone keeps opening Safari in Private Browsing mode by default, it might be due to a setting or a recent action that triggered this behavior. Here are a few steps you can take to address this:

1. **Check Safari Settings:**

- Open Safari on your iPhone.

- Tap the tab icon in the lower-right corner (it looks like two overlapping squares).

- Check if "Private" is highlighted. If it is, tap it to exit Private Browsing mode. You can also tap the "+" icon to open a new tab outside of Private Browsing.

2. **Disable Private Browsing:**

- To disable Private Browsing mode by default, go to Settings > Safari.

- Look for the "Privacy & Security" section.

- Toggle off the switch for "Private Browsing."

3. **Close Safari Completely:**

- Sometimes, closing the Safari app completely and reopening it can resolve such issues. Double-press the Home button (or swipe up from the bottom and hold for newer iPhones without a home button) to bring up the App Switcher. Find Safari and swipe it up or away to close it completely. Then relaunch Safari to see if the issue persists.

4. **Restart Your iPhone:**

- A simple restart of your iPhone might also help. Turn it off and then back on after a few seconds.

5. **Update iOS:**

- Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Updates often come with bug fixes that might resolve such issues.

6. **Clear Website Data:**

- If the problem persists, you might try clearing Safari's website data. Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. This will remove history, cookies, and other browsing data, so make sure you're okay with losing this information before proceeding.

If none of these steps solve the issue, you might consider reaching out to Apple Support or visiting an Apple Store for further assistance, as there might be a specific issue with your iPhone's settings or configuration that needs more in-depth troubleshooting.
