How to Close All Open Safari Tabs
The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 13 in the iOS 17 operating system.
These steps work in many other versions of iOS, and on many other iPhone models, including the following:
- iPhone 13 Mini
- iPhone 13 Plus
- iPhone 13 Pro
- iPhone 13 Pro Max
Step 1: Find the Safari icon on your Home screen and tap it to open the app.
Step 2: Tap and hold on the Tabs icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Step 3: Choose the Close All Tabs option.
Step 4: Tap Close All Tabs to confirm.
Note that this is only going to close all of the tabs that are open in the current browsing mode.
For example, this might only close the tabs in normal browsing mode, so you would also need to switch to private browsing mode and follow these steps to close all of the private browsing tabs as well.
If you don’t want to close all of your tabs but would like to close a single tab, then you can tap on the Tabs icon, and then tap the x button on the tab that you would like to close.
Additonally, this is only going to affect the tabs in the Safari browser. If you are also using another browsing app like Chrome or Firefox, then you will need to close the tabs inside of those apps separately.
