I thought "Private Mode" was just a set of tabs in Safari. As in it doesn't actually put you in "private mode", nor any app using Safari View Controller.

- ProfessorLayton 9y agoCorrect, it used to work as follows: - Private mode was enabled by a switch in Safari settings: No cookies/storage in any tabs and in webview controllers - The switch in settings was then removed, and Private mode is enabled in the tab view in Safari — However, the setting used to carry into app webviews - There is no longer a way to not be tracked in app webviews. You'll be cookied by apps, and you need to manually clear everything in Safari settings. This is a step backwards from how it used to work.
