To close all tabs on your iPhone, the method depends on the browser you are using. Here's how to do it for the most common browsers:
Safari
- Open the Safari app on your iPhone.
- Tap and hold the Tabs icon (two overlapping squares) in the bottom-right corner.
- A menu will appear with the option Close All Tabs. Tap that.
- Confirm by tapping Close All Tabs again in the popup.
This will close all open Safari tabs at once
Chrome
- Open the Chrome app.
- Tap the Switch tabs button at the bottom (a square with the number of open tabs).
- Tap Edit in the lower-left corner.
- Select Close All Tabs.
This closes all Chrome tabs simultaneously
Google Search App
- Tap the square icon in the lower right corner showing the number of open tabs.
- Tap the three dots in the upper right corner.
- Select Close all open tabs.
- Confirm by tapping Close all.
This closes all tabs in the Google Search app
. If you want to close tabs in private browsing mode in Safari, you need to repeat the process while in that mode, as tabs are managed separately
. This method quickly clears all open tabs, helping you maintain privacy and improve browser performance without closing tabs one by one.
