# Incognito mode

_Incognito_ mode allows you to keep your [search queries](https://yandex.com/support/browser-mobile-android-tablet/en/navigation/search.md) and [browsing](https://yandex.com/support/browser-mobile-android-tablet/en/navigation/browsing-history.md) secret. In this mode, Yandex Browser for mobile doesn't save [passwords](https://yandex.com/support/browser-mobile-android-tablet/en/security/passwords.md), [form autofill data](https://yandex.com/support/browser-mobile-android-tablet/en/privacy/autofill.md), search queries, addresses of visited pages, or history. But all changes to settings, [downloaded files](https://yandex.com/support/browser-mobile-android-tablet/en/navigation/download.md), and [bookmarks](https://yandex.com/support/browser-mobile-android-tablet/en/navigation/bookmark.md) are saved.

{% note alert %}

Incognito mode doesn't make you invisible. For example, if you log in on a social network, other people will see you're online. It also doesn't protect your tablet from viruses.

{% endnote %}


[Tabs](https://yandex.com/support/browser-mobile-android-tablet/en/navigation/tabs.md) opened in Incognito mode are not synchronized with other devices.


## Switching to Incognito mode {#on}

To use Incognito mode:

1. Tap <svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M3 6H21V8H3V6Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 11H21V13H3V11Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 16H21V18H3V16Z" fill="currentcolor"/></svg> → **Incognito tab**.
1. Enter a search query or web address, or choose a site in Tableau.

In Incognito mode, you only see the tabs that you opened in this mode. Incognito tabs have a dark gray background.

## Exiting Incognito mode {#off}

Tap <svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M3 6H21V8H3V6Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 11H21V13H3V11Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 16H21V18H3V16Z" fill="currentcolor"/></svg> → **Close Incognito mode**.

After exiting, you will return to the [tabs](https://yandex.com/support/browser-mobile-android-tablet/en/navigation/tabs.md) that have been opened in normal mode. If you enable Incognito mode again, the tabs opened in Incognito mode will become available.
