Although the flags are available for Chrome on almost all platforms, this feature is only enabled for iPhones that support Face ID (iPhone X and later versions).
First, open the Google Chrome app on your iPhone. Subsequently, scribe chrome://flags in the address bar and hit Enter.
Writes “Incognito device authentication” in the search bar at the top. Will appear in Experiments, which means it is still in process.
Open the drop-down menu under the tick “Incognito device authentication” and choose “Enabled”.
After enabling the flag, you need to close and restart the Chrome browser to apply the changes you made.
When Chrome opens, select the three-dot menu icon in the lower right corner and choose “Setting”.
Select section “Privacy”.
Activate the option “Block incognito tabs when you close Chrome”.
After enabling that feature, next time i open chrome to see incognito tabs, it will ask you to unlock them with Face ID.
To disable incognito tab locking with Face ID, disable the option “Lock incognito tabs when closing Chrome” Visiting “Privacy” in the section “Setting” chrome.
That is all. At the same time protecting your eyelashes incognito, you can use other flags for better browsing experience.
