Can Covenant Eyes monitor Incognito Mode or Private Browsing?

Incognito Mode will not disable your Blocking Level or Custom Website List on any device.

On computers and iPhones®/iPads®, we monitor Private Browsing! On Android™, some browsers allow us to capture screenshots while you're using Incognito Mode/Private Browsing, and some do not. 

Android™

• If we cannot capture screenshots while you’re using Incognito Mode/Private Browsing on Android™, your screenshots may say "Screenshot Unavailable," and you will receive an Unmonitored Activity Session message in the Activity Feed.
  
  
• If we can capture screenshots while you're using Incognito Mode/Private Browsing, your screenshots will appear normally in the Activity Feed, and you will not receive an Unmonitored Activity Session message.

iPhone®

Coverage for Incognito Mode/Private Browsing depends on what browser you use on your iPhone®:

If you use Safari with Private Browsing on your iPhone®, we’ll still monitor your activity via our Safari extension. We can't take screenshots for all other browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.) on iPhone®, but we will monitor the websites you access via VPN technology. Our iPhone® app doubles as a browser and doesn’t have Incognito Mode. For best protection, use Apple’s device controls, Screen Time, to limit browsers and protect our Safari extension from being uninstalled.

Mac® and Windows Computers

Our monitoring service, Screen Accountability, still randomly screen-captures and scans your screen for mature content when Incognito Mode is used on a computer.
