Quick summary
Incognito Mode in Perplexity AI lets you run private search sessions without saving your conversation history or threads to your library. Any query started in Incognito Mode expires after 24 hours, making it ideal for sensitive or one-off research.
Steps
- Click your profile icon or name in the bottom left corner of the Perplexity AI desktop interface.
- Select Incognito from the dropdown menu that appears.
- Enable Incognito Mode to start a private, history-free research session.
- Start a new thread — any conversation begun in Incognito Mode will not be saved to your library and will expire after 24 hours.
- Click the arrow icon to submit your query and view results in Incognito Mode.
- While Incognito Mode is active, your search history and conversation threads remain private and are not stored long-term.
