If your system settings prevent Private Relay from working

If you do, a third-party app — such as a VPN or internet filtering software — might have installed settings or extensions that are incompatible with Private Relay.

How do I fix private Relay on my iPhone?

Turn iCloud Private Relay Off & Back On

Open Settings and tap on your name at the top of the screen. Then, tap iCloud -> Private Relay. Turn off the switch next to Private Relay. Wait a few seconds, then tap the switch to turn iCloud Private Relay on again.

How do I know if my private Relay is working?

If you open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name at the top, and then choose iCloud, you should be able to access a Private Relay (Beta) toggle switch that you can turn on or off. It's also under Apple ID and iCloud in System Preferences on macOS.

Does private Relay slow down internet?

After about a week of back and forth with Verizon FIOS, I determined I was not getting the contracted network speed due to the use of Apple Private Relay (Beta).

Why is Apple private Relay so slow?

If you use iCloud Private Relay, accessing content on the Internet may become slower. This is because the service conceals your location and your Internet service provider.

Is Private Relay a good VPN?

Is Private Relay a VPN? There is certainly some overlap in benefits between Private Relay and VPN. Both use encryption, both mask your true IP address, and both help obscure your internet traffic. But Private Relay is not a VPN and it shouldn't be considered a direct VPN alternative either.

Does private Relay only work in Safari?

Private Relay only covers Safari, any DNS-related traffic on your device, and a few other apps. If you don't use Safari as your default browser on your iPhone, then your Internet activity on your device won't be covered by Private Relay.

Does Apple private Relay hide your IP?

When Private Relay is turned on, the traffic leaving your device is encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address and location and network providers from collecting your browsing activity. Neither one knows both who you are and what websites you visit.

Is iPhone private Relay same as VPN?

The main differences between the two are: A VPN encrypts all of the traffic you send and receive, while Private Relay only encrypts Safari, the DNS-related traffic on your device, and a small subset of traffic from apps.

Does private Relay protect public Wi-Fi?

The idea behind iCloud Private Relay is to protect privacy when users are on public Wi-Fi networks. For example, if someone is at a coffee shop, sports stadium, or restaurant and uses public Wi-Fi, their IP address is visible to all the websites they visit.

Is iCloud private Relay down?

Apple iCloud Private Relay status is operational.

Does private Relay only work in Safari?

Private Relay only covers Safari, any DNS-related traffic on your device, and a few other apps. If you don't use Safari as your default browser on your iPhone, then your Internet activity on your device won't be covered by Private Relay.

Does private Relay work on all browsers?

Apple's iCloud Private Relay provides very narrow and limited coverage, and is more like a multi-hop Web proxying service. It only works within Apple's Safari browser on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

Is iCloud private Relay better than VPN?

Does Private Relay replace VPN? Not really. Although Apple Private Relay may sound exactly like a VPN at first — both mask your IP address, use encryption, and hide your Internet traffic — a VPN protection goes well beyond that. Learn more in this article.

Does Apple private relay hide your IP?

When Private Relay is turned on, the traffic leaving your device is encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address and location and network providers from collecting your browsing activity. Neither one knows both who you are and what websites you visit.

Can ISP see iCloud private Relay?

When Private Relay is enabled, all of your browsing activity in Safari will be routed through two internet “hops,” or relays. Your data is encrypted and then sent to Apple, so your ISP can't see any of your web browsing requests.
