Many users have developed the habit of opening Safari with a quick tap of their screen, then proceeding to scroll through the pages they’ve opened to find what they want to see.
However, hidden behind that habit is an array of features that could enhance how you use your device: by making it faster, cleaner, and more secure.
So, if you feel like your tabs are disorganized, and that browsing is taking too long, then consider trying some of the tools that iPhone Safari offers to help with this.
9 iPhone Safari Features
Let’s look at the top 9 features that your iPhone Safari serves:
1. Tab Groups
Having too many tabs open can create a disorganized work area. With Tab Groups, you can now organize your tabs into categories by type, such as Work, Travel, Shopping and others.
Find what you want without having to scroll through your open tabs constantly, and instead just go straight to those sites which matter.
2. Private Browsing
Sometimes you just don’t want your browsing history hanging around. Private Browsing mode ensures your searches, site visits, and data don’t get saved.
3. Reader Mode
Today’s web pages are filled with distractions, such as ads, pop-ups and autoplay videos. Reader mode will eliminate distractions so you can read the content without distractions.
4. Live Text
Ever seen a phone number or address inside an image? Yes, Live text gets it sorted for you. Just tap on the image, select the text, and use it instantly. No need to type things out manually anymore.
5. Translate Websites Instantly
Safari can translate entire webpages with a single tap. If you land on a site in another language, you don’t have to leave or use another app.
6. AutoFill
Typing the same details again and again gets old fast. AutoFill stores your information- like addresses and passwords and fills forms instantly when needed.
7. Download Manager
Safari now handles downloads without needing extra apps. Whether it’s a document or an image, files go straight into a dedicated manager.
8. Custom Start
Your Safari start page doesn’t have to be boring. You can customise it with your favourite sites, frequently visited pages, and even a background image.
9. Privacy Report
Tracking happens quietly on most websites, but Safari doesn’t hide it. The Privacy Report shows how many trackers have been blocked while you browse.
So, most of these safari features are already sitting on your iPhone, untouched. Try a couple of them, and Safari starts to feel like a completely different browser.
