The Safari app uses Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) to block trackers from tracking your browsing interaction. It blocks all types of trackers and displays the number of blocked requests.
Under Privacy Report, you can view a detailed report that helps you identify the sites and third-party trackers that are trying to track your browsing behavior.
In this guide, I have shared written instruction about:
Check the Privacy Report in Safari on iPhone and iPad
The Privacy Report is available in Safari for iOS and iPadOS version 14 and later. If you’re running on the old device, then you can check the installed Safari version to determine if the Privacy Report is available for your device.

A pop-up window will open containing the Privacy Report details for all sites for last 30 days. It will also display the trackers for the current website.
Reading the Privacy Report
The Privacy Report has all the data of known trackers prevented and the percentage of Websites that trackers loaded in the last 30 days. However, slightly below these numbers, you’ll see the number of WEBSITES BY TRACKERS CONTACTED.
When you scroll down further, you’ll see two tabs, Websites and Trackers, containing a list of trackers and the number of trackers per site. From the list, click on any website to see the complete list of Prevented Trackers for that site.
Select the Trackers tab if you want to see the complete list of the trackers loaded by websites. To review a tracker, you need to tap on any tracker. Then, you can check all the sites that contacted it.
If you wish to review more information, click Show More at the top of the window. This will allow you to read brief information on intelligent tracking prevention and cross-site trackers.
