In the latest beta of iOS 18.4, Safari now displays recent search history when opening a new tab or tapping into the address bar. This feature aims to improve user convenience by providing quick access to past searches. However, it raises privacy concerns for users who may hand their device to others, as their search history becomes highly visible. The article highlights that while Apple already offers private browsing mode to mitigate such issues, there is currently no option to disable the new feature within the Settings app. An update in iOS 18.4 beta 4 has introduced a 'Show Recent Searches' toggle in Safari's settings, allowing users to turn this feature off.
