Though Apple's iOS 15 introduced a bunch of handy new features, many iPhone users were left wondering how to move the Safari address bar back to the top after it was shifted to the bottom of the screen.
Granted, having the address bar at the bottom of Safari makes it easier to access if you're using your iPhone with one hand. But when something that you've become used to after years of use is changed — such as the taskbar being moved to the center in Windows 11 — it's understandable when you just want things to be the way they were.
Of course, iOS 15 does have many positive upgrades, as detailed in our full iOS 15 review. In addition to improving the experience of using the latest Apple devices, such as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max, it also gives new life to older Apple products, with compatibility going as far back as the six-year-old iPhone 6s.
Thankfully, though, it's easy to move the address back to the top on iOS 15, as detailed in our guide below.
How to move the Safari tab bar on iOS 15
1. Open up Safari. On your Apple device with iOS 15 installed navigate to Safari; we're sure you know what it looks like, but just in case you've forgotten, it's the app with a blue and white compass icon.
2. Press the “aA” button on the tab bar. This can be found on the left side of the tab bar. Press it to bring up a submenu.
3. Click “Show Top Address Bar” in the submenu (it's the top option).
4. Your tab bar will now appear at the top of the display. It will now default to being at the top, rather than the bottom, from now on.
Now you've moved the address bar back to the top on Safari, take a look at the hidden trackpad that makes editing a breeze on iPhone. You may also want to learn how to get full-screen Caller ID on iOS 15 and how to launch apps by tapping the back of your iPhone.
