Leave fast
Press Quick exit, or press Esc twice. This site is replaced by a weather page, and pressing Back won’t bring it back.
02
Use a private window
A private or incognito window doesn’t save the pages you visit. On most phones, it’s in the browser’s menu.
03
Delete just these pages
Clearing all your history can look unusual. Instead, open your history and delete only the pages from this site.
04
Use a safer device
A friend’s phone, a library computer or a work computer may be safer than your own.
05
Calls and messages
Only if it’s safe: delete calls and messages to services from your phone’s log. 1800RESPECT can help you plan for this.
