If you want to keep your browsing private and secure on an iPhone or iPad, Google's web browser, Chrome lets you do this in a few easy steps.

With so many unique features and tools that improve the user experience, the ability to use ‌Face ID‌ and ‌Touch ID‌ with Incognito tabs is probably one of its coolest features. 

With the Face ID locking feature, the Incognito tabs feature adds an extra layer of security. By requiring the use of Face ID to unlock the Incognito tabs, you also prevent others from spying on your iPhone or iPad.

If this option is enabled, you can use Incognito tabs to surf the internet and continue using the app without closing them, knowing that the tabs will not become visible until your device has been validated with Touch ID or Face ID.

**Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Face ID to lock your incognito tabs on your iPhone**
