iOS devices: If you have installed Chrome on your iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) devices, unfortunately currently this feature isn’t available.

Chrome OS device: If you’re using Chrome OS, you can use the guest browsing feature as an alternative to incognito mode. You can go into guest browsing by clicking the guest icon or the Browse as a Guest link on the right side of the screen. You can enable guest browsing from Settings menu of your device. Important
