Customize Your Safari Start Page

Apple introduced its latest version of iOS, iOS 15, with a wide range of the latest and exciting features. The iOS 15 update has brought several significant modifications for Facetime calls, Live Text, tools to focus and reduce distraction, new notifications experience, redesigned Safari, new privacy features, and so on.

The latest iOS 15 Safari now features a new design that enables users to move the search bar to the bottom of the iPhone screen. This feature makes it easier for users to access the address bar single-handedly and they can swipe between tabs. Additionally, the Tab Groups let iPhone users create a group of open tabs that they can access through other devices. Apple users can now search the web by voice command and web extensions on iOS.

In iOS 15, you can edit the Safari start page to your heart’s content. Like Safari on Mac, you can customize your background and also add or remove display sections such as reports, website icons, and more.
