In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to hide your recent searches from showing up when double-tapping the address and search field in a new Safari tab on iOS or iPadOS.Starting in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, your recent searches will by default appear above the keyboard when opening a new tab in Safari and double-tapping the address and search field. If you'd prefer your search activity wasn't so immediately visible, you can turn this off by going to Settings > Apps > Safari, and toggling the "Show recent searches" switch off. Note that this will only hide recent searches from showing above the keyboard in the address and search field; it won't hide them from your browsing history. For searches you want to keep truly private from others who can access your device, you'd need to either clear your browsing history, or use private browsing.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speak
