If you’re like us, you likely wind up with a buttload of browser tabs open in Safari on your iOS device, be it an iPhone, iPod touch, or an iPad. Sure, you can close each tab one-by-one, or follow the steps shown below and close them all at once.
How to Close All Safari Browser Tabs on the iPhone and iPod touch
- Open Safari on your iPhone or iPod touch. (DUH!)
- Tap and hold on the tab icon, found in the lower right-hand corner, (it looks like two overlapping squares).
- Choose “Close Tabs” from the menu that appears. (That menu option will also display how many tabs you have open in Safari.) You can also open a new tab, but that’s a bit counterproductive for this particular tutorial.
- Enjoy your blank browsing slate.
How to Close All Safari Tabs on the iPad
