If the thought of the big,hd ??? ?? bad internet slowly building a detailed profile of you gives you the heebie jeebies, we have fantastic news: There's a way to prevent that on an iPhone.
You can turn on iCloud Private Relay, a beta feature on iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey that Apple says will ensure that your web traffic will be encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This will protect your IP address, location, and browsing activity from websites and network providers.
The only caveat? You must have an iCloud+ subscription, which ranges from $0.99-$9.99/month.
We could all use a little more internet privacy in our daily digital lives, so here's how to turn it on. Do note that this process only enables iCloud Private Relay on one device. If you have multiple Apple devices you want to protect, make sure you follow these steps on each device.
1. Open Settings, and tap on your name at the top
