Protect your web browsing with iCloud Private Relay on iPhone
When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use iCloud Private Relay to help prevent websites and network providers from creating a detailed profile about you. When iCloud Private Relay is on, the traffic leaving your iPhone is encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address and exact location while preventing network providers from collecting your browsing activity in Safari.
Note: iCloud Private Relay isn’t available in all countries or regions. For more information, see the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.
Turn iCloud Private Relay on
Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay, then tap Private Relay.
Note: You need to turn on iCloud Private Relay on each device where you want to use it.
Turn iCloud Private Relay off
Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay, then tap Private Relay.
