iCloud Tabs is a simple but very convenient thing that keeps me organized even when I’ve got some fifty tabs open on my computer, but I want them on my iPad. And it’s that feature on all your iOS devices that will help you continue your browsing on all devices seamlessly.

The feature lets me do two things: First off, keep reading across all devices without having to bookmark or keep a list of URLs you have to read. Secondly, it makes sure you can continue your work from any place, just like iCloud documents: iPhone, iPad, or whatever other devices that are configured with your iCloud credentials. Let’s see how to set it up and use it.

Setup iCloud Tabs on iPhone and iPad

Step #1. Go to Settings → tap on your name at the top → tap on iCloud.

Step #2. Turn on the Switch next to Safari.

Step #1. Click on Apple Menu → Click on System Preferences.

How to use iCloud Tabs in Safari now Apple has changed it

by Jonny Evans · Published September 27, 2021 · Updated October 4, 2021

Apple Tabs, a whole new way to confuse yourself

Apple has changed one of its most useful features on iPhones and iPads with the new version of Safari, making iCloud Tabs less useful, discoverable, and effective. Here is how t get the best out of what is left.

What are iCloud Tabs?

iCloud Tabs is a useful feature that lets you find all the Safari windows you currently have open across all the Macs, iPhones and iPads you own that are logged into the same Apple ID.

I use this a lot while researching topics across my devices. I find it invaluable.

Until now, all the information has been shown on one page in Safari.

What has changed?

When Apple introduced iOS 14 and Safari it introduced a new Start page in Safari .

That’s the page which opens when you launch a new browser window, and contains Favorites, Frequently Visited sites, Privacy report, Siri Suggestions, Reading List and iCloud Tabs.

iCloud Tabs gained a new layout that required we use a drop down menu to find other Apple devices and which pages you have open in Safari on them.

However, at that time it was still possible to access the old iCloud Tabs menu – which listed all your other devices and all their open pages in one page – by tapping the conjoined squares icon to the top right of Safari. Now, sadly, that view has gone.

Apple Tabs, a solution to a problem I didn’t have

How to use iCloud Tabs on iPhones and iPads

Here is how to make the best of what’s left of iCloud Tabs on iPhones and iPads.

Move into position:

Open a new window in Safari and you’ll be on the Start Page, which probably highlights your most frequently visited sites at the top with your iCloud Tabs at the bottom. Safari on iOS 15/iPadOS 15 now lets you reorder this by flicking to the bottom of the page and tapping Edit. Now you can drag iCloud Tabs from its default position at the bottom of the Start page to the top of the list, or wherever makes sense for you. You can also disable and sections you don’t use.

Choose your device:

Now you’ve put iCloud Tabs at the top of your start page it’s faster to get to. To navigate open pages across all your devices you’ll have to open a new start page as you did before and then choose the device in the drop down ‘From [device]’ list.

How to change Safari address bar position on iPhone

It’s far more laborious than before, but by slotting these at the top of the Start page I guess that saves one tap to lower the page.

You can add a shortcut in Safari on Mac

If you use iCloud Tabs with Safari on a Mac you do get to make one change that makes iCloud Tabs work better. This is a toolbar icon you can add which shows all the tabs you have open on all your devices in a dropdown menu.

To add this, open  View>Customize Toolbar , and drag the iCloud Tabs icon to where you want it to be on your toolbar. Click Done to save this.

Now you’ll be able to see all your current tabs in a drop down menu, but I still found the earlier on page version a lot easier to handle.

Why is Apple doing this?

Apple really seems wedded to the idea of Safari tabs and Tab Groups . Apple says Tab Groups “allow you to easily save your tabs 
 and organize them in a way 
 that works best for you. Switch between your groups from Tab Overview.” Tab Groups sync across devices, so you can continue your project from anywhere, at least in theory. The problem with them is that conceptually they really are quite unwieldy and they functionally replace Bookmarks, which most of us have used since we started browsing the internet. Here’s how to use them:

• Create a Tab Group

You can create a tab group by tapping the conjoined squares to invoke the New Empty Tab Group command. Give your tab group a name.

• Populate a Tab Group

Now when browsing the web you can add tabs to specific tab groups by long pressing the tab (why) and then adding Move to Tab Group and choosing a group, or choosing and tapping a Tab Group name if it appears. That item will be added to that group. It’s just like using Bookmarks. Except you don’t use the Share button, which still has an Add Bookmark but does not have an Add to Tab Group button (at least on my current machine). Which makes no sense at all.

Let me know when they get this feature right.

CloudyTabs review: Liberate iCloud Tabs from Safari on your Mac

Our verdict.

Everyone has their favorite (or least favorite, depending on how you look at it) beefs with Apple’s iCloud service. But one of my biggest frustrations is that many of iCloud’s most-convenient features require you to use Apple’s apps—those features simply don’t work with third-party programs.

Take iCloud Tabs, the feature that automatically syncs any open Safari tabs across all your OS X and iOS devices. The key word here is Safari —iCloud Tabs doesn’t support other browsers. But this is where third-party developers step in to help. Like previous Gem MyPhotostream , Josh Parnham’s free CloudyTabs is a simple OS X app that lets you liberate a little bit of iCloud—in this case, that bit is iCloud Tabs.

CloudyTabs, which requires OS X 10.8.2 or later, provides a simple systemwide menu that, at a click, displays all your iCloud Tabs, organized by the device hosting each tab. Each open-tab entry displays the tab’s webpage title and favicon. Choosing any item in the menu opens that tab—and here’s the kicker for non-Safari users—in your default browser, whichever browser that may be. (It’s a little strange that CloudyTabs displays your current Mac’s tabs, though I suppose that’s one easy way to shuttle tabs between, say, Safari and Chrome on the same machine.)

CloudyTabs lets you access your iCloud Tabs in the Mac browser of your choice.

Though it’s a simple app, CloudyTabs does offer a few options. You can choose to simultaneously open all tabs from a particular device—for example, all the webpages you’ve got open on your iPhone. Holding down the Command key when you choose an entry (or hovering the pointer over an item and then pressing Return) opens that tab in the background (i.e., without bringing the browser to the foreground). And you can see when your iCloud Tabs were last synced by hovering the pointer over CloudyTabs’s menu-bar icon.

While I appreciate CloudyTabs’s simplicity, there are some additional features I’d like to see. For example, it’d be great to be able to choose, on the fly, which browser a tab will open in. (Safari is my default browser, but I often use Chrome for webpages that contain Flash videos, for example.) Also, some web servers—Wikipedia is one—present the mobile version of pages when loaded in iOS Safari; it would be nice if CloudyTabs could detect that and provide the URL for the desktop version on the Mac. And a keyboard shortcut for accessing the CloudyTabs menu would be useful. (Once the menu is displayed, you can type the name of a page in the menu to select it, but you still must still use the pointer first to open the menu.) But these would simply be icing on the cake of the basic features CloudyTabs already provides.

For those who flit between multiple browsers, CloudyTabs can be be a useful tool.

(It’s worth noting that Google offers a feature similar to iCloud Tabs, but you have to be using Chrome on both OS X and iOS.)

What are iCloud Tabs?

iCloud tabs let you view a list of all the open tabs from Safari on your other Apple devices. For instance, if you have Safari open on both your iPhone and Mac, you can access the same open tabs on either device through this feature called iCloud Tabs.

Why We Use iCloud?

• Continuity: iCloud Tabs provide continuity in browsing sessions across multiple Apple devices enabling users to switch between them and continue from where they left off.
• Convenience: Instead of having to search manually for web pages one has been viewing with another device, you can conveniently sync through iCloud Tabs any open tab in all your Apple devices.
• Productivity: It is possible to use these tabs which are already opened from various devices quickly without having to search or rebuild them therefore helping in enhancing productivity using these iCloud tabs.

Benefits of iCloud Tabs:

• Syncing: This means that wherever you go, it may be ensured that all of your browsing sessions are available due to syncing iCloud-tabs among all the apple-devices.
• Efficiency: Saves time and effort by eliminating the need to manually search for and open the same webpages on different devices.

How to Enable or Disable iCloud Tabs:

Follow the steps to enable or disable in mac:.

Step 1: Open Safari on your Mac.

Step 2: In the Preferences window, navigate to the “General” tab.

Step 3: click on tab icon as shown in fig.

Like, just imagine when a person enables or disables iCloud Tabs in Safari, it makes users be able to have such amount of freedom that is based on their tastes and privacy concerns.

How to fix iCloud Safari tabs syncing bug

02 march 2023.

Since iOS 15 and and macOS 12, or whenever Apple launched the new “Start Page” for Safari, I’ve had various issues getting tabs to sync across my devices. It seems to be a common problem .

Aside from tabs not syncing, the biggest problem I’ve had is that tabs from my Mac get “stuck” on my iPhone and iPad. These “ghost tabs” are ones that have been closed on my Mac — often for weeks or months — yet they continue to appear as open tabs on my iOS devices. Most recently, a tab appeared on my iPhone that was supposedly open on my Mac for a project on GitHub that I haven’t worked on for over a year! I’ve tried deleting/closing these ghost tabs on my iPhone, but they always reappear.

I finally decided to try to fix it. Most online forums suggest signing out of iCloud completely on all devices — but that is too destructive and risky for me. I decided to try another approach and it looks like it worked. If you have the same issue, here’s what you can do:

• On your Mac, backup your Safari data — bookmarks, etc. Just in case.
• Completely quit Safari on all devices.
• Disable Safari syncing in iCloud settings on all devices. Choose the option to delete the data from the device on iOS, but keep the data on your Mac.
• Launch Safari on all devices. Bookmarks, etc. should be gone on iOS.
• Completely quit Safari on all devices, again.
• Reboot all devices.
• Re-enable Safari syncing in iCloud settings on all devices.
• Launch Safari on your Mac, so it can sync the initial data.
• Launch Safari on all iOS devices.

After doing this, the issue should be fixed!

If you have multiple Apple devices, for example, an iPhone and an iPad, there is a high likelihood that you have different apps and activities ongoing with them. However, this does not mean those activities are restricted to the devices they originate from. For example, with the Safari app, Apple has a feature that lets you keep tabs and tab groups updated across devices. That is, if you are using Safari on your iPad and have tabs open, you can also view these Safari tabs on your iPhone.

However, Apple devices users need to satisfy certain conditions: signing in to iCloud with the same Apple ID across devices. Also, you’ll need to enable iCloud tabs on the Safari start page and in iCloud Settings. Here’s how to do so:

How to Sign In With Your Apple ID

To use most Apple services such as the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, etc., Apple users must sign in with their Apple IDs. In most cases, this is usually done during the setup of the Apple device. If you aren’t signed in during set up, here’s how you can sign in from Settings.

Step 2:  Scroll to the bottom of the Safari tab and tap Edit to view the Customize Start Page.

Step 3:  Tap the toggle beside the iCloud tabs option to enable it.

How to view and clear your web browsing history in Safari on iPhone or iPad

Easily wipe your browsing history in Apple's Safari web browser in seconds.

What you'll need

How to find your web-browsing history, how to clear your web browsing history.

Clearing your browsing history on iPhone and iPad in Safari has been a straightforward affair for years now.

Sometimes you want to clear your history to get rid of bloat and streamline your browsing experience. Other times, you're trying to hide a gift purchase from a loved one.

Apple makes it very easy to clear your browsing history on both the iPhone and iPad and we're here to show you how. Here's how you can make a fresh start in Safari and debloat your web browsing experience.

On the latest models, web browsing is smoother than ever before thanks to ProMotion in the iPhone 15 Pro and faster chipsets like the M2 found in the iPad Air 6 . If you're looking for a new Apple device, we highly recommend one of the following: 

iPhone 15 Pro $999 at Apple

Grab the best iPhone available right now starting from $999. With a gorgeous titanium finish and the most powerful chip ever in an iPhone, you won't be disappointed with the 15 Pro. 

iPad Air 6 13-inch | $799 $754 at Amazon

With an M2 chip and a 13-inch screen option, the new iPad Air 6 is one of the best iPads available right now. Normally $799, you can pick up the 13-inch model for nearly $50 off at the moment — don't miss out.

Viewing your web history in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 is very easy to do, here's how:

• In Safari, tap the Bookmarks button in the toolbar that's below the address bar.
• Tap the History icon in the upper right corner. Here, you can view your entire web history.

• Use the History search bar to find previously viewed pages.

If the time calls to wipe most or all of your web browsing history in Safari, here's how to do it on both iPhone and iPad.

To note, the below steps will be the same if you attempt to wipe your web browsing history on an iPhone 15 Pro Max or an iPad Mini 6 , all Apple devices require the same steps.

• In Safari, tap the Bookmarks button.
• Select the History icon in the upper right corner.
• Tap Clear and select how much history you'd like to clear: the last hour, the last day, 48 hours' worth, or all recorded history.

One more thing… A feature no one talks about

Privacy on the web matters more than ever in these modern times. Websites store the pages you click on, especially when you sign into a page that can contain personal information about you.

It's great to have a feature like this in Safari — but it would be good to have this automated in iOS 18 . If Apple's web browser could automatically clear history after 24 hours it would be very useful, as you wouldn't leave a trail behind.

Regardless, it's still a good feature, and one you should use every week.

[Solved] Stop System Data From Taking All Your iPhone Storage

On iPhone, System Data is a storage category that houses the caches and temporary files that iOS processes use. It speeds up loading times by making it easier to retrieve frequently accessed data. Caching should barely be noticeable. System Data only takes up around 5 to 10 GB, and if storage usage is too large (e.g., 15 GB), it could indicate underlying performance issues.

You’ll see slower processes at first. As things worsen, however, your iPhone will start saying it’s low on storage. The best approach is to fix the issue fast to prevent performance degradation. Follow these troubleshooting steps.

If you’re trying to save a generous amount of storage space, you should search for a trusted cleaning app. For instance, Intego Washing Machine will delete all unnecessary files from your system, including temporary files and caches, while optimizing your iPhone’s health for a long time.

➡️ Try Intego Washing Machine for free

How To Reduce System Data Storage Usage on iPhone

1. offload unused apps.

Time needed:  3 minutes

When you offload an app, you delete it from your iPhone while preserving its documents and data. It’s an effective way to free up storage space without permanently deleting content. Since some apps store large caches in System Data, offloading can potentially reduce its storage space. Here’s how:

You can also offload apps manually.

• Scroll down to the list of apps—select unused apps with a large file size.

• Repeat as many times as needed.

2. Clear Safari Cache

Safari caches a lot of website data (e.g., images, scripts, and cookies) to load pages faster on subsequent visits. This data accumulates over time and increases your System Data size. If you rarely clear your browser history, now’s the best time to do so.

• Go to Settings and scroll down to Safari .

3. Manage Message History

Messages with file, video, and photo attachments take up significant storage space, and they’re typically cached in System Data. I suggest deleting old SMS and iMessage conversations automatically.

• Open Settings and scroll down to Messages .
• Select Keep Messages under Message History .

4. Invest in iCloud+

An iCloud+ subscription won’t directly reduce System Data size on your iPhone, but it can help you manage your files better. Upload your largest files (e.g., videos, HD photos, and documents) on the cloud.

• Go to Settings > [your Apple ID name] .

5. Factory Reset iPhone

As a last resort, factory reset your iPhone. You might resolve the hidden glitch that’s spiking System Data’s storage space after you wipe all your files. Just make sure to set up iCloud Backup beforehand. Otherwise, consider your data gone.

• Open Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone .

• Select Continue to confirm the action.

Recheck iPhone Storage before you sync iCloud Backup. If System Data is still taking up too much space, the underlying issue isn’t with your system files or settings preferences. Unfortunately, there’s likely a more complex underlying issue.

The best approach is to contact Apple Support and have their certified technicians check for other software and hardware problems. Since iCloud Backup syncs across Apple devices, check System Data’s storage usage on your Mac , too.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, psa: updating to macos sonoma or ios 17 may enable icloud keychain.

Mac users, iPhone users, and iPad users, should all be aware that updating to macOS Sonoma 14, iOS 17, or iPadOS 17, may silently enable iCloud Keychain on their devices. Essentially this means that by updating to the latest iOS, iPadOS, or MacOS, you may be unintentionally enabling the feature and thereby uploading your saved keychain and login information to Apple’s iCloud servers. If you like and use this feature, obviously that’s not an issue, but if you don’t use iCloud Keychain and don’t want to use it, having it enable itself after updating system software may be considered problematic, or a nuissance.

What is iCloud Keychain anyway? Why does this matter?

iCloud Keychain is a very useful feature in that it syncs your passwords and login information between your Apple devices, making it easy to manage passwords, view login details , and handle authentication across all of your devices. It does this by syncing your saved login information to iCloud, and then out to your other devices – if you save a login on your Mac, it will sync to your iPhone, and vice versa, for example. It’s a very convenient feature for iPhone, iPad , and Mac, there’s no doubt about that.

However, not every person wants to use iCloud, let alone upload their authentication information, login details, and passwords, to Apple’s iCloud servers (and by proxy, putting on a tin foil hat, theoretically any thing , organization , or entity that has access to that data or those servers by varying means, potentially whether encrypted or not) either out of concerns about privacy, security, or even merely philosophical, or perhaps because you already use another cloud-based password manager solution.

If you’re concerned about the privacy ramifications, Apple’s documentation for iCloud Keychain reminds us of the following:

“iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and its data can’t be read by Apple.”

Apple notes the iCloud data can’t be read by Apple, however there are reports by surveillance firms of other agencies gaining access to data from iCloud backups, muddying the waters of what can and can’t be accessed and by whom.

Updating to MacOS Sonoma, iOS 17, or iPadOS 17, Automatically Enables iCloud Keychain

Apple developer Jeff Johnson noticed this “bug” happening originally over a year ago, and discovered it yet again when updating from macOS Ventura to MacOS Sonoma, expressing the following sentiment that is undoubtedly shared by others:

“On principle, I should not have to upload my data to Apple if I don’t want. Apple advertises itself as the “privacy” company, but uploading user data to Apple’s servers without notice or consent is a gross violation of privacy.”

But it’s not just macOS Sonoma and Macs, it’ll happen on iPad and iPhone too, as @mysk on Mastadon discovered the same for iOS 17 and provided a demonstration video showing this happen:

Is this a bug or expected behavior? Many users want direct control over what features are enabled on their devices, particularly regarding their information being uploaded to the cloud.

I use iCloud Keychain anyway, what’s the big deal?

If you already use iCloud Keychain, as many of us do, then you likely won’t mind that the feature is being enabled during software updates, because it’s already enabled on your devices anyway.

There are some situations where it could still be problematic for users who do actively use iCloud Keychain to find it enabled automatically on another device after a software update however. For example, perhaps you use the same iCloud information on a childs iPad or a household Mac, but you don’t want your personal data and passwords syncing to those devices. Do you want your 5 year old to be able to accidentally login to your brokerage account and tap around wildly until they buy AAPL options on margin? A relatively absurd hypothetical, but crazier things have happened !

I don’t want this on, how do I turn off iCloud Keychain again?

If you do not use iCloud Keychain to manage your passwords, and you do not want to use the feature to manage and share your login information across your devices, you can disable iCloud Keychain manually, or confirm that the feature is not enabled on your device

On iPhone and iPad, go to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Passwords and Keychain > switch from “ON” to “OFF”

On MacOS, go to  Apple menu > System Settings > Your Name > Passwords and Keychain > switch from “ON” to “OFF”

Do you use iCloud Keychain? Do you not use iCloud Keychain but found it enabled on your device after updating to the latest system software versions? For what it’s worth, it’s not just iCloud Keychain that gets turned on after software updates, as MJTSai notes it also happens with Bluetooth. Whether any of this matters to you depends on a variety of factors, but at least be aware of the possibility so that you can make your own decisions.

Thank you for giving us this information. Apple has a bad habit of turning things on that we have turned off and not telling us about them.

If I read your article correctly even though I opt to not use iCloud for retaining and syncing my Keychain Passwords, the passwords that were already moved to iCloud without my knowledge will remain there.

Is this correct?

Is there anyway I can remove them?

Thanks for your help,

Jim Coleman

Just go into iCloud Settings and see if Keychain is enabled but you did not turn it on, if you disable it then it will remove them from iCloud.

Personally I have updated a few computers and iPhones to Sonoma and iOS 17 and not had this happen, so it does not seem like a universal situation.

1. How do I stop iCloud from backing up any external drives I use with my computer???. Not only does iCloud back up, but it makes duplicate backups. 2. How do I permanently disable iCloud from invading my computer?

never enable iCloud on your devices because why would you want to store your data on somebody elses computer? Install Little Snitch and block it all. Also install PIHOLE on your network to disable it on a DNS level too

6 Tips to Improve Your Safari Experience on iPhone

A ccessing the internet on an iPhone is made simple by Safari, Apple's native web browser; it does a great job of getting you started, but there are several other features that you can leverage to enhance your user experience.

Below, we'll list some valuable tips you can use to get the most out of Safari on your iPhone. So, let's get started.

1. Modify the Start Page

The start page is the first element you usually run into when launching Safari—it's the default screen if you've not used the browser before or didn't leave any tabs open after your last session. And the first step you can take in improving your Safari experience is to customize it.

Customizing the start page involves changing the background image and choosing the sections (listed below) you want the app to show. We've added descriptions to help you understand a little more about each section.

• Favorites : This section will show all your favorite websites and bookmarks which have been added to the Favorites section on your iPhone.
• Frequently Visited : This is a collection of searches and websites you've frequented in recent months. The information is said to be a mix from all your Apple devices if you've enabled iCloud.
• Shared with You : It works by finding links, images, music, and more, sent within the Messages app, and brings them up in relevant applications. For example, if someone texted you a link via iMessage, you'll find it in this section of the start page.
• Privacy Report : This section surfaces information on the trackers used by websites you've visited in the last 30 days and showcases when your iPhone—and other Apple devices—prevented them from profiling you.
• Siri Suggestions : You can find website suggestions based on your recent browsing history, bookmarks, and open tabs within this section if you choose to use them.
• Reading List : You can find the three latest additions to your Reading List in this section, with a Show All button available in case you want to view the other articles you've added to your read later list.
• iCloud Tabs : This feature showcases up to four most recent tabs open on each Apple device you own with iCloud enabled for Safari.

To begin customizing your Safari's start page, follow the steps listed below:

• Scroll down to the bottom of the Safari start page and tap Edit.
• Now, enable the desired sections using the toggles or reorder them by pressing (and dragging) the three horizontal lines.

If you want to experience Apple's Continuity feature , toggle on Use Start Page on All Devices at the top of the edit menu. This will ensure your start page is in sync across all devices connected to your iCloud account.

2. Create Tab Groups in Safari

The next step in improving Safari on iPhone is to create and use Tab Groups . The feature lets you bring order and control to tabs by allowing you to group similar ones—or those you often use together—into folders. Ideally, you can use the feature to separate search results and websites related to work from those you open during casual browsing.

To create a Tab Group, follow the steps listed below:

• View all your tabs by tapping the Tab button in the bottom-right corner.
• Now, tap the text box at the bottom of the screen—it mentions the number of tabs open.
• In the menu that appears, tap New Empty Tab Group or the second option, New Tab Group with X Tabs .
• Name the Tab Group according to your liking and hit Save .

The X in the second option will vary based on the number of tabs open when creating a Tab Group.

3. Use Safari Extensions

Like Chrome, you can install Safari extensions to improve your browsing experience. For those unaware, these are applications built for web browsers that bring additional functionality and make your life easier.

For example, you can install applications that scour the web for coupon codes and bring them up when you're making a purchase or add ones that help edit written content to ensure you aren't making silly errors.

Adding extensions to Safari on an iPhone is a bit different compared to installing and removing extensions in Safari on a Mac . To do this, follow the steps listed below:

• Go to Settings > Safari on your iOS device.
• On the next screen, find Extensions under the General subsection and tap on it.
• You'll now see a list of extensions available. In case you see no options, tap More Extensions to visit the Safari Extensions store.

You may sometimes see options without having installed an extension before; these are present due to an application—that offers Safari extensions—installed on your iPhone from before.

Once you've installed an extension, activate it in Settings using the same steps above and then do the following:

• Open Safari and tap the AA button in the address bar.
• Now, tap Manage Extensions and select the extension you want to activate.

4. Choose Websites to Automatically Use Reader

Reader in Safari is a nifty add-on that lets you read content from a website with minimal distractions and no ads. It makes the experience quite simple and offers options like changing the page color, font, and font size.

Activating Reader is quite simple; tap the AA button in the address bar when you're on a supported webpage and choose Show Reader . However, if you frequently visit a specific website, you can configure Safari to load all its webpages in Reader. Here's what you need to do:

• Open the desired website and tap the AA button.
• In the context menu that appears, tap Website Settings .
• Now, toggle on Use Reader Automatically . Each supported webpage will now open in Reader, making it easier to read the content.

5. Set Tabs to Open in Background

Despite it being easy to access AI tools like ChatGPT on mobile for learning about things, if you prefer getting deep into the weeds when doing research, you may want to view many of the following webpages in new tabs.

By default, opening a new tab via a hyperlink will leave the old tab behind and move you to the new tab. While this behavior is fine, it can feel like a chore if you'd like to open multiple results from a search page.

Fortunately, you can change this behavior. Here's what you need to do:

• Open the Settings app, and scroll down to the Safari option.
• On this page, under the Tabs subsection, tap on Open Links .
• Now, choose In Background .

6. Configure Safari to Automatically Close Tabs

Lastly, while the ability to open many tabs in Safari is a boon, knowing ways to organize your browser and keeping it clutter-free can help you focus better and increase productivity. And keeping only a few tabs open can be a part of this regime.

Safari on iPhone also helps with this, with the ability to automatically close tabs after a set period of time; we've detailed the steps to activate the feature below:

• On this page, under the Tabs subsection, tap on Close Tabs .
• Now, choose from the available options: After One Day , After One Week , or After One Month .

Become a Safari Power User With These Changes

Each customization method listed above will help improve your Safari experience, be it with a new background image that makes the app feel more personal or a setting that keeps it clutter-free.

Overall, Safari is an excellent browser that can be made even better for power users with a few changes. And some of Apple's exclusive features make a strong case for the app, especially if you're a Mac user.
