Apple has a Safari web browser built into its iOS, macOS, and iPadOS devices. It is the default web browser available on iPhone and many users don’t switch to other browsers. Given the competition in the form of Chrome, Firefox and Edge, among others, Apple’s proprietary browser is lagging behind in terms of functionality.
But now the company is trying to catch up and has started offering new features for the Safari browser. Added support for tab groups in Safari, allowing users to organize multiple tabs in the browser into a single group or multiple groups. The feature is available for devices running the beta version of iOS 16 as the stable version has not yet been implemented.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to create tab groups in the Safari web browser on your Apple iPhone running the latest iOS 16 operating system.
How to create tab groups in Safari on Apple iPhone with iOS 16
Step 1: Open the Safari browser application on your Apple iPhone.
Step 2: When the app opens, tap the “Open Tabs” button in the bottom right corner.
Step 3: Next, long-press the “Tabs” option in the middle of the bottom bar.
Step 4: Now, select “New Blank Tab Group” or “New Tab Group from X Tabs” from the list.
Step 5: Type in the name of the card group so you can easily identify it, then tap the “Save” button.
If you select the New Blank Tab Group option, a new instance will appear with a blank whiteboard. On the other hand, when you select the New tab group option from the X tabs, you will be allowed to use the tabs already open in the Safari web browser and arrange them in a group.
That’s all. After following the step by step guide mentioned above on your Apple iPhone with the latest iOS 16 operating system, you have successfully created a new tab group in the Safari web browser that you can use to organize multiple tabs in an easy access way.
