Brave always starts a Private session

Description of the issue:.
When I open Brave it always starts a Private session. I can’t seem to find the setting to change the ‘home screen’ back to the ‘white’ session.
The only way I have been able to get the ‘white’ session is to press and hold the app icon to get the menu to show then select “New Tab”.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Expected result:

Reproduces how often:. Always

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):. iPad IOS 17.7.5. Brave Version 1.79 (124)

**Additional Information:**None

@tknock did you try the toggle button? The way that it works on iOS is that when you enable private mode it stays in it until you press private to go back to normal mode. So like in the screenshot below you see on the bottom left is where it says private that’s the toggle button that you hit to exit. And if you’re confused at where you see that, it’s when you press the little square box which is your tab switcher that you will get to this menu where typically you get to choose between all your open tabs.

If that isn’t the issue then I’m assuming you or someone who has access to your device chose to change the setting to go for private browsing only. That is Brave’s settings → Shields & Privacy, where you’ll see the toggle if you’d scroll a bit

There is no “button” or “toggle “ and this is new for me too!!

So this is what I get. LS is the new tab option, the RS is when I just open the app. I checked my settings and it is not on.

Interesting that to top bar is missing on the LS.
I’ll be working the font color in the meantime.
Thank you.

@tknock none of those screenshots showed the right page which is why you don’t see the toggle. I said you press that little square which is your tab switcher, then you will see that.

Pressing that box is what opens up the area where you would switch between tabs if you had multiple open. You only single press, do not hold down
