What is Privacy Mode in IBKR Mobile and how do I enable it?

Use Privacy Mode to hide sensitive data from prying eyes. Enabling this feature allows you to see public data like charts, market data and news, while keeping sensitive account-specific and portfolio data hidden.

To enable Privacy Mode

  1. Tap the Account menu icon (head and shoulders) in the upper left corner.
  2. Tap Settings and then tap Security.
  3. Toggle on Privacy Mode. 

When enabled, Privacy Mode "hides" data by replacing values with three asterisks (***) or "masks" data by showing only the first and last letters and replacing the rest of the content with three asterisks (***).  Tap on any of the asterisk fields to quickly peek at a sensitive value and tap again to restore the asterisks.

Additional Information

  • This feature is active only when looking at data. Privacy Mode is disabled when you are creating or managing orders.
