In Safari settings, select Single Tab. You can’t revert back to the old (“stacked”) Tab view, though, AFAIK.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks, I already have that selected. That doesn’t take you back to the previous version of Safari without the boogered up bookmarks where you have to back click three times to get to the next web site.
Oh sorry I missed this part!
the setting reverts the layout with the bar at the top but not other settings - sorry
iPadOS 15 Safari Sidebar and Bookmarks
With the new sidebar in Safari when in landscape I go into into my bookmarks and I loose the ability to hide the sidebar without having to back all the way out to the first page of the sidebar. In portrait the hide/show button stays. Either I’m missing something or this is terrible for anyone...

Agreed. That and the fact that it's not persistent like the old banner was. Makes it more difficult to use especially one handed, which I am often using when using QR codes!
Will probably do this.I posted this further up but...why not use the QR scanner instead of the camera app. Much easier if you're scanning one-handed.
Annoying though for my older clients. Doing it by the camera was easy as the Camera is something nearly all iPhone users know how to do. Vs modifying control centre, then learning to use control centre.
Not sure if it helps at all but asking Siri to "scan code" opens the QR scanner...even with the phone locked. If you scan a code whilst it's locked, it'll ask you to unlock then immediately open the URL.
I'm incredibly annoyed that I can no longer clear a notification by pulling it down when it comes in and clicking the X that used to pop up in the top right corner. Now I either need to just dismiss it back to the notification center and clear it later, or open the app. Really quite possibly the dumbest removal of a feature I've seen yet.
That will be helpful for some, though a lot of them are a bit Siriphobic!!
It doesn't turn Bluetooth (or WiFi) off.
That's the problem; Apple changes stuff and many people then don't know how it works any more. Turning those off in the CC disconnects the current WiFi network, if any, and disconnects some bluetooth devices. It'll leave the watch (and maybe other Apple stuff) connected plus it's on and available for Airtags and the like. In neither case are the radios turned off.
If you enable aeroplane mode you can still disable wifi completely from control centre, they luckily didn't change this!!
But you can't do that with aeroplane mode not enabled - sadly been that way since iOS 11

Confirmed by me on iPhone X:
Confirmed by me on iPhone X:
- Go to Control Center, turn on Airplane Mode.
- If Bluetooth remains on (Blue), touch Bluetooth. Note that Bluetooth turns white.
- Go to Settings | Bluetooth; switch off Bluetooth.
- Return to Control Center. Note that Bluetooth is now Gray with a backslash through it.
- In Control Center, toggle Airplane mode. Note that Bluetooth tracks Airplane mode, but now toggles between Blue (Airplane off/Bluetooth on) and Gray/slash (Airplane on/Bluetooth off). Old behavior restored.
Yes this is the behaviour on my iPhone 12 mini, however it Is frustrating because I turn on aeroplane mode when I'm in places of no/poor reception to preserve battery life, but still wish to continue using wifi and Bluetooth, so aeroplane mode remembering is a little pointless for how I like to use this, where as the previous functionality was near perfect!
Ah, it wasn't clear that you were referring to iPad.iPadOS 15 Safari Sidebar and Bookmarks

When I updated to iOS15 Focus needs to be setup, my normal DND from 12AM-8AM was active all other categories say "set up"
I predict that at least the Safari tabs will revert back to the old “stacked” view in the next iOS version. This “full-page” view just feels clunky and ill thought out.
Funnily enough I don't mind the new tab view (apart from shared tabs being removed), but they should offer a toggle to revert it to the old view for people who don't!
