How to Lock Chrome Incognito Tabs Behind Face ID on iPhone

(Pocket-lint) – Google has updated its Chrome browser on iOS devices with a cool feature: the ability to lock incognito tabs with Face ID, Touch ID, or a password.
What’s the point of locking incognito tabs in Chrome?
Chrome’s incognito mode prevents Chrome from saving your browsing activity to your local history. Now Google is adding an extra layer of security to incognito tabs opened in your Chrome mobile browser. Basically, if you lock them behind Face ID, Touch ID, or a password, they won’t be visible until they are authenticated. This is handy if you quit the Chrome app and reopen it later, as this prevents someone from using your device and viewing your open tabs.

To activate the feature, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings in the Chrome app.
