Turn on iCloud Private Relay on iPad

When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use iCloud Private Relay to help prevent websites and network providers from creating a detailed profile about you.

When iCloud Private Relay is turned on, the traffic leaving your iPad 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. A website or a network provider won’t simultaneously know both who you are and what websites you visit.

You can turn off iCloud Private Relay at any time. You can turn off the feature completely for iPad, or just turn it off for a specific Wi-Fi or cellular network.

Note: iCloud Private Relay is currently in beta.

Turn iCloud Private Relay completely on or off for iPad

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay.

Note: You need to turn on iCloud Private Relay on each device where you want to use it.

Turn iCloud Private Relay on or off for a Wi-Fi network

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Tap , then turn iCloud Private Relay on or off.

If you turn off iCloud Private Relay for a Wi-Fi network on your iPad, iCloud Private Relay is turned off for this network across all of your devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.

Turn iCloud Private Relay on or off for a cellular network (Wi-Fi + Cellular models)

Go to Settings > Cellular, then do one of the following:
- If your iPad has a single plan: Tap Cellular Data Options.
- If your iPad has multiple plans: Select a plan (below Cellular Plans).
Turn iCloud Private Relay on or off.

The network setting is specific to a physical SIM or eSim in your iPad (eSIM not available in all countries or regions). See View or change your cellular data account.

Set the specificity of your IP address location

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay > IP Address Location, then choose one of the following:

Maintain General Location (for example, to see local content in Safari)
Use Country and Time Zone (to make your location more obscure)

iCloud Private Relay is not available in all countries or regions.
