Closing tabs in Safari

[pedzsan]

It appears that closing tabs in Safari is one step further removed. I hit the three dots to the right of the address bar, then "tabs", and then I can start closing tabs. Is that the simplest approach or am I missing something? I tend to close tabs rather frequently.

You can also swipe up from the address bar or pinch in with two fingers to get to the all tabs view. If you want to close the current tab just long press on the address bar - that gives you the option to close the current tab or close all open tabs.

Thank you.

How do people "learn how to fish" -- find these features, etc?

You also tap and hold on the three dots, then select All Tabs without lifting your finger.

You can also go into Safari's settings and return the bottom bar to how it looked and worked in iOS 18.

just pinch anywhere on the screen or swipe up from the bottom address bar and swipe them to close

You can also double tap the three dots and that brings up the individual tabs to be closed. That’s how I do it and find it to be the quickest.
