# Incognito mode

Use Incognito mode to keep your [search queries](https://yandex.uz/support2/yandex-app-android/en/app/search.md) and [browsing](https://yandex.uz/support2/yandex-app-android/en/app/history.md) secret. Yandex won't save your [passwords](https://yandex.uz/support2/yandex-app-android/en/privacy/passwords-manager.md), [autofill](https://yandex.uz/support2/yandex-app-android/en/privacy/autofill.md) data, search queries, history, or visited pages. Only the changes to settings, [loaded files](https://yandex.uz/support2/yandex-app-android/en/app/downloads.md), and the materials you added to [bookmarks](https://yandex.uz/support2/yandex-app-android/en/app/collection.md) will be saved.


{% note warning %}

Incognito mode doesn't make you invisible. For example, if you log in on a social network, other people will see you're online.

{% endnote %}


## Switching to Incognito mode {#on}

#### On the home screen

1. Tap ![](../_assets/homepage-icon.svg) to go to home screen.
1. Start entering your query in the SmartBox. Below the list of suggestions, an **Incognito** button will appear.

   Tap the tab counter icon (![](../_assets/tabs-3.svg) if seven tabs are open).
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-tabs.md -->
1. In the top menu, tap ![](../_assets/incognito.svg).


## Switching modes {#change}

You can simultaneously use regular and Incognito tabs in the app. This way, when you're in Incognito mode, you can always return to the tabs opened in regular mode. To do this:

1. In the bottom menu, tap the tab counter icon (![](../_assets/tabs-incognito.svg) if seven tabs are open).
1. In the top menu, tap the tab counter (![](../_assets/tabs-3.svg) if you have seven tabs open).

To return to the Incognito tabs, [enter](#on) the Incognito mode.


## Exiting Incognito mode {#off}

{% note info %}

You can't turn Incognito tabs into regular ones, so they get closed when you exit Incognito mode.

{% endnote %}

#### Current Incognito tab:

1. Tap the tab counter icon (![](../_assets/tabs-incognito.svg) if seven tabs are open).
1. Swipe the page left or right or tap X in the upper-right corner of the tab.

#### All Incognito tabs:

1. Tap the tab counter icon (![](../_assets/tabs-incognito.svg) if seven tabs are open).
1. In the upper-right corner, tap ![](../_assets/yandex-app-delete.svg) → **Close**.
