Browsing in Incognito means your activity history is not saving on your device or any account you're not signed in to. It can be great way to keep your activities private even from the Google. That's why many people, especially kids, use incognito mode to watch the content that they are not supposed to watch. But do you know there is a way to watch incognito history?

In this article we will discuss how to see Incognito history on Android without knowing. So, if you're curious about your spouse, friend or kid’s incognito history, read out the following guide.

Part 1: What is Incognito Mode?

Incognito Mode is a private window on Google that creates a private session on your browser which doesn't keep a record of your history. When you open the browser in the Incognito window your browser will not be able to save the record of all the searches and sites that you visit in the Incognito tabs. This deleted information also includes all the cookies and site data that you entered on website forms.

You visit each site as a new user and they can not identify you as long as you sign in to your account. All the data saved on the browser during your session will expire as soon as you close the incognito window. That's why even those who share the computer with you can't see what you searched or watched during that session.

Every browser has a different name for Incognito mode such as in chrome it is "Incognito mode", in Microsoft edge it is "In Private mode", in Firefox it is "Private mode" and in Safari it is "Private browsing".

To open an Incognito mode click on the three dots at the top right corner of the screen. In drop down you will see the option "New Private Window Mode" (may vary depending on the browser you're using). Tap on it and a new private session will start on your browser.

Yes, you can see the Incognito history on Android even after the session has been closed. There is no way that you can keep your activities hidden from the internet service providers. Incognito mode does delete all of your search and browsing history along with cookies and site data but internet service providers, search engines, websites you visit, government and third party spying can still track down your activities during the Private mode session.
