Tap the Get button or the price button for any extensions you want to install. Try some out by opening Settings > Safari > General > Extensions > More Extensions.
Safari now supports extensions with the update to iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Under the Background Image section, select a background or upload your own, then tap the X button to see your new Start page. You can disable any sections you don’t want to see or drag and drop sections to rearrange them on the page. Swipe to the bottom of the Start page and click the Edit button. You can tweak the Safari Start page by adding, removing, or moving certain sections and choosing a background image. An even easier method is to long-press on the Tabs icon and tap Move to Tab Group to access your tab group options. You can also press down directly on a thumbnail and tap Move to Tab Group to create a new group for it or move it to an existing group. Once you name your new group, it will become selectable from this menu. You can then tap New Empty Tab Group to create a new group or New Tab Group from X Tabs to create a group out of all your existing tabs. On an iPad, tap the Sidebar icon and then select the Tabs icon. On an iPhone, tap the Tabs icon, then select the “X Tabs” entry at the bottom. The process is slightly different depending on your device of choice. Too many tabs? Organize them into groups. Click Compact Tab Bar to shrink the amount of space your tabs take up at the top of the screen. If you’re on an iPad and want to alter how tabs are displayed in Safari, open Settings > Safari. You can also tap the AA icon in the address bar and select Show Top Address Bar or Show Bottom Tab Bar to switch back and forth. If you prefer to keep the address bar in its traditional location, select the Single Tab option. Then, when you position your iPhone in Landscape mode, the tabs all appear at the top. Turn on the switch for Landscape Tab Bar. You can set the tabs to appear at the top of your iPhone screen when in Landscape mode under Settings > Safari. To navigate these open tabs, simply swipe left and right on the tab bar to cycle through them.
The jump to iOS 15 moves Safari's address bar to the bottom of the screen, which-in theory-makes your open tabs easier to access.
Here’s how to use these features and tweak your settings for a better Safari experience.
The latest version of Safari continues that tradition. Safari has always been the standard browser of Mac users, and by continuing to develop its product, Apple has kept it that way. While the era of radical changes to Web browsers has gone by, small improvements that help navigation and cut down on keystrokes are always welcome. There's support for multiple browser windows with thumbnail overviews, with quick zooming in and out. Autofill and smart-search options suggest Web sites before you've typed the entire URL. In the recent versions of Safari there aren't separate search and URL fields there's one text-entry area and Safari figures out what you want. There's a private-browsing feature that hides your tracks, too. If you visit a site on your MacBook or iMac and have iCloud integration, the same page can be pushed to your iPhone or iPad so you don't have to look for it twice. For example, you can send a tweet or post content to Facebook from within Safari. With the latest releases, you can do many tasks that used to require multiple apps or a lot of keystrokes. Apple support isn't the only reason to use it, though it has other strengths.
Originally designed to be a Web browser with the Mac OS look and feel, Safari has been part of the Apple family a long time. Safari has been Apple's Web browser for many years, and the company keeps making improvements to it at regular intervals.
