@samyuehl have you or someone you are allowing to use your device played around with stuff? Such as, go to brave://flags. Is the toggles for Brave Shred feature enabled?

Hi Saoiray,

I saw this on Reddit but didn’t know if it worked or not — I tried and it worked! Was waiting for someone from support to confirm that was the right course of action. Thank you so much!

I just installed Brave on iOS but I see “disabled” as the default setting for Shredding. I can enable it no problem but seems like something with feature flag management is not working as intended. I saw the Shred tutorial on first launch but the actual feature was disabled.
