Deactivate iCloud Private Relay On iPad, iPhone, or iPad touch

It is one of the pivotal ways Apple created to improve digital privacy for its users. However, this feature is only available to those with an active iCloud subscription and iOS 15 or later.

Then, tap your Apple ID or your name at the top of the screen.

Next, select iCloud and tap Private Relay.

Then, toggle the Private Relay (Beta) switch to deactivate. Afterward, select “Turn Off Private Relay.”

That’s it!
