Whether you've just picked up an iPhone 13 or have been using iOS for a while, iPhones and iPads have a whole bunch of features that you may not know about. But here's one particularly handy trick that everyone should be aware of — being able to close all of your Safari tabs at once.
Quickly racking up browser tabs and forgetting about them is something we're all guilty of. And while iOS 15 is a highly optimized and efficient operating system, it's probably not a good idea to have endless tabs sitting around in the background.
Thankfully, there's a quick and easy way to close down every tab in Safari on your iPhone or iPad. Here's how to do it.
How to close every tab in Safari on iPhone or iPad
1. To instantly close every tab in Safari on your iPhone or iPad, simply tap and hold the tab icon, then tap "Close all [X] tabs."
2. To confirm, tap "Close all [X] tabs."
3. Safari also has the option to automatically close unused tabs after a set period of time. To do this, tap one of the time periods that appears, or tap "Don't Close Automatically" if you don't want Safari to shut your tabs automatically.
Now you know how to shut all your tabs in Safari, you might also want to find out how to move the Safari address bar back to the top on iOS 15.
