# Incognito mode

_Incognito_ mode allows you to keep your [search queries](https://yandex.uz/support/browser-mobile-ipad/en/navigation/search.md) and [browsing](https://yandex.uz/support/browser-mobile-ipad/en/navigation/browsing-history.md) secret. In this mode, Yandex Browser for mobile doesn't save [passwords](https://yandex.uz/support/browser-mobile-ipad/en/security/passwords.md), [form autofill data](https://yandex.uz/support/browser-mobile-ipad/en/privacy/autofill.md), search queries, addresses of visited pages, or history. But all changes to settings, [downloaded files](https://yandex.uz/support/browser-mobile-ipad/en/navigation/download.md), and [bookmarks](https://yandex.uz/support/browser-mobile-ipad/en/navigation/bookmark.md) are saved.

{% note alert %}

Incognito mode doesn't make you invisible. For example, if you log in on a social network, other people will see you're online. It also doesn't protect your tablet from viruses.

{% endnote %}


[Tabs](https://yandex.uz/support/browser-mobile-ipad/en/navigation/tabs.md) opened in Incognito mode are not synchronized with other devices.


## Switching to Incognito mode {#on}

To use Incognito mode:

1. Tap <svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M3 6H21V8H3V6Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 11H21V13H3V11Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 16H21V18H3V16Z" fill="currentcolor"/></svg> → **Incognito tab**.
1. Enter a search query or web address, or choose a site in Tableau.

In Incognito mode, you only see the tabs that you opened in this mode. Incognito tabs have a dark gray background.

## Exiting Incognito mode {#off}

Tap <svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M3 6H21V8H3V6Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 11H21V13H3V11Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 16H21V18H3V16Z" fill="currentcolor"/></svg> → **Close Incognito mode**.

After exiting, you will return to the [tabs](https://yandex.uz/support/browser-mobile-ipad/en/navigation/tabs.md) that have been opened in normal mode. If you enable Incognito mode again, the tabs opened in Incognito mode will become available.

## Close tabs in Incognito mode {#close}


To close an Incognito tab, find it in the list of open tabs at the top and tap <svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M19.2071 6.20711C19.5976 5.81658 19.5976 5.18342 19.2071 4.79289C18.8166 4.40237 18.1834 4.40237 17.7929 4.79289L12 10.5858L6.20711 4.79289C5.81658 4.40237 5.18342 4.40237 4.79289 4.79289C4.40237 5.18342 4.40237 5.81658 4.79289 6.20711L10.5858 12L4.79289 17.7929C4.40237 18.1834 4.40237 18.8166 4.79289 19.2071C5.18342 19.5976 5.81658 19.5976 6.20711 19.2071L12 13.4142L17.7929 19.2071C18.1834 19.5976 18.8166 19.5976 19.2071 19.2071C19.5976 18.8166 19.5976 18.1834 19.2071 17.7929L13.4142 12L19.2071 6.20711Z" fill="black"/></svg>.
