On Edge desktop app I can open InPrivate Tab but I can't on my phone. I saw it was related to the fact that I'm in a family. However being in a family isn't only about parental controls. It's about sharing services so can you please fix this issue?

    You could have provided the path or link to the setting that blocks InPrivate browsing, but you prefer to suggest that the user use another browser or device.

    If I find a solution, I'll let you know here. I also have the same doubt.

    Hi,

    I'm a fellow user & will try to assist you in this matter.

    When our ability to browse is restricted, especially if we are adults, I can state that it is annoying.

    It's crucial to realize that the family organizer can allow or disable a variety of settings for family groups, including InPrivate browsing.

    To prevent kids from accessing objectionable material, the feature is frequently deactivated.

    However, depending on how the family organizer has configured the account, there are options to disable the family settings on your Edge mobile browser.

    To test whether deactivating the family settings will activate InPrivate browsing, check your settings.

    Alternately, you can use a separate device or browser that is unrestricted by family settings.

    Hope that works for you.

    If that is not the case, please kindly attach a screen-shot of the issue so we could work towards resolving it.

    Regards,

    Lee
