Hi tech wizards that I look highly upon!! How do I stop this happening? Ever since I updated to IOS 17 and whenever I use private browsing, whenever I search anything I have to solve a puzzle ‘click on all the squares with a bike in’ because it thinks I am a robot. How do I solve this? It’s driving me crazy!!

    Stop using private browsing lol. Google thinks you need to be verified every time because of the private browsing.

    Are you using some kind of VPN connection? If so, disable it and see if you still have to solve a puzzle.

    Try not using “Private Browsing” and see if the behavior changes.

    Go to Settings > Safari and tap ‘Clear History and Website Data’. This might resolve the issue. Also, disable/enable private browsing.
