• Close all tabs – Are hundreds of tabs open in Safari on your iPhone? You can close them all at the same time. Just long press the "Done" button in the tab view (accessible by pressing the small icon that looks like two squares) and you will see an option to close all the tabs.
• Open recently closed tabs – accidentally close a tab that you did not want to close? In the tab view, long press the "+" button to display the list of recently closed tabs so you can open it again.
• Search your open tabs – With tons of tabs, you may need to search to find the specific tab you are looking for, but fortunately, a built-in tab search feature makes this task easier. Simply scroll to the top of your tab view (or tap the top of the screen to go to the top) and you'll see a search bar for the search tabs.
• Close filtered tabs – If you want to close some of your tabs while leaving others open, the search function also serves as a filter. After a search in your tabs, long press the "Cancel" button next to the search interface and you will see an option to close only the tabs corresponding to your search.
• Find text on the page – Do you know how to use the Command + F feature on a Mac to search for a specific item on a page? There is also a search feature in iOS. When a website is open, enter a search phrase in the search bar at the top, then scroll down to "On this page" to search for that term on the site. You can also open the sharing sheet and locate the "Search on Page" button.
• Close tabs on other devices – If you have multiple devices and use iCloud with the feature that syncs Safari information, you can close the tabs on your Mac or iPad directly from your iPhone. To do this, open the tab view (again, the small icon with two squares), scroll down the screen to the bottom of your open tabs, and then you will see an interface listing open tabs on d & # 39; Other devices.
• Transfer Websites – If you visit a website on your iPhone and then want to open it on your Mac, you can use Handoff, available on most Mac computers and current iPhone. On the Mac, you'll see a small Safari icon on your dock with a small iPhone icon, just click on it and everything you watch on your iPhone can be opened directly on your Mac. You can also open websites from one device to another using the same cloud tab interface used to close tabs on other devices.
