How to close all tabs on iPhone and iPad at once (iOS 17)

Updated on:

Having too many tabs open in Safari can affect its performance and lead to an inefficient browsing experience. While you can close tabs individually in Safari, depending on the number of open tabs, it can become quite tedious and time-consuming.

Fortunately, you can close all tabs on your iPhone or iPad in one go. In this article, I will show you all the possible ways to do it.

How to close all Safari tabs on iPhone and iPad

It’s pretty easy to close all your Safari tabs on iPhone and iPad. Here are the steps you need to follow:

• Launch Safari on your iPhone and long-press the tab switcher icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen. On an iPad, this icon will be in the top-right corner.
• Select Close All [number] Tabs .

How to close all Safari tabs on iPhone from the tab switcher screen

Another way to close all your Safari tabs at once is to use the Tab Switcher screen. This view shows you all your open tabs in a grid, making it easy to take a quick look and close them all at once.

• Inside Safari, tap the tab switcher icon.
• Take a look at the tabs if needed.

• Tap Close All [number] Tabs .

How to close Safari tabs automatically on iPhone and iPad

If you have the habit of leaving a lot of Safari tabs open, you can set your iPhone or iPad to automatically close tabs after a certain amount of time. This way, you won’t have to worry about too many tabs slowing down your browser.

• Open the Settings app.
• Scroll down and select Safari .
• Tap Close Tabs .

Safari will now automatically close your tabs based on your chosen time frame.

How to close similar Safari tabs at once on iPhone

When you’re researching something, you may end up opening a bunch of tabs related to the same topic. In such a situation, you can close them all at once using a handy feature in Safari. This ensures your other important tabs remain intact.

• Open the tab switcher screen in Safari.
• Tap the top of the screen to reveal the search bar .
• Type a word you think would be common on all the tabs you want to close, and you’ll see all the open tabs that match this word.

How to close all Safari tabs on iPhone with Tab Groups

Tab Groups is a Safari feature that lets you keep your tabs organized using folders. If you’ve used it to keep all similar tabs organized in one Tab Group, deleting that Tab Group will close all open tabs inside it. Here’s how:

• Go to the tab switcher screen in Safari.
• Long-press one of the tab thumbnails.

Signing off…

That’s it. The above methods should help you declutter Safari on your iPhone or iPad and give you a clean slate to start fresh.

Moving forward, be sure to use Tab Groups or profiles in Safari to keep your tabs organized and avoid having an overcrowded stack of tabs again.

Key Takeaways

• Set a time frame (one day, one week, or one month) for Safari to automatically close tabs that are older, preventing tab clutter.
• Organize Safari tabs on iPhone with Tab Groups. Create tab groups to categorize and easily find open web pages based on topics or interests.
• Close Safari tabs open on your Mac from your iPhone.

Safari on your iPhone tends to be a bit overzealous at opening new tabs, resulting in a web browser that's more crowded than a Taylor Swift concert. Thankfully, iOS and iPadOS make it possible to close all but one tab at once -- it's one of our favorite tricks for iPhone .

If robot vacuums can automatically clean your house, why shouldn't your phone automatically clean up tabs for you? The iPhone can automatically close tabs that are older than a week or a month, keeping your Safari tab count from creeping to embarrassing numbers. You only have to arrange your settings once, then Safari will do the cleanup for you, set it and forget it.

We break down Apple's current iPhone lineup, detailing the the best phone at every price for photography, demanding apps, and other tasks.

Safari has a few other hidden organization features, like tab groups and even the ability to close your MacBook's open tabs from your iPhone. We're sharing our favorite tricks for keeping your Safari tabs under control, starting with how to close all tabs on your iPhone or iPad.

How to close all tabs on iPhone or iPad Safari

If you're like us, and you end up with multiple Safari tabs open, closing them all down individually can take a very long time. We had 246 open at one point.

If you have tabs you want to keep open, you'll still need to close all of your tabs individually, pin them, or you can save a bookmark and reopen them afterward. Another option is to move those favorite tabs to a new Tab Group, as this process only deletes the tabs in the group. If you want to clear out the Safari clutter, you can close all but one tab with just a few taps. Here's how:

• Open the Safari app on your iPhone.
• Tap the icon with two squares in the lower right corner to view all your open tabs.
• Optional: If you have any tabs that you want to keep open, press and hold on that tab and select Move to Tab Group , as this process only does one tab group at a time.
• Long press on the thumbnail for an open tab . Pro tip: Use a tab you would like to keep open, as this will be the only tab remaining at the end of the process.
• Tap on Close Other Tabs.

Alternatively, you can long-press the tab button in the bottom-right corner of Safari and then select Close All Tabs to quickly close everything that's open, including the tab you're currently viewing.

How to automatically close old Safari tabs on your iPhone

Whenever you open a link from another app, odds are it opens in Safari and creates yet another new tab, making it fairly easy for your tab count to grow without you even realizing it. But you don't have to go through and close all your tabs on a regular basis. Instead, you can have your iPhone automatically close old tabs after one day, one week, or one month.

This is a great option if you have a tendency to rack up open tabs quickly. If you turn on this feature, remember to use the bookmark tool or reading list to easily recall any important websites to revisit later, which tends to be easier than searching through your Safari history.

• Open the Settings app.
• Scroll down and select Safari.
• Under Tabs, find the Close Tabs option and tap on it -- it should be set to 'manually' by default.
• On the next screen, tap the time frame that you would like Safari to close old tabs after -- either one day, one week, or one month.

How to organize Safari tabs on iPhone with Tab Groups

Maybe you like having 217 tabs open at once (I won't judge, I've been there) but you want to be able to find what you need a bit more easily. Safari allows you to use tab groups to organize your open web pages. For example, you could have a tab group for online shopping and another for housing your favorite news websites that you want to leave open to easily read every morning. Tab Groups allow you to organize your web browsing and are especially helpful if you have lots of tabs open at once.

• Open the Safari app on iPhone.
• Tap on the tab icon in the lower right corner -- it's the one with the two squares.
• Tap the menu icon at the bottom center.
• Select New Empty Tab Group or use the New Tab Group with # Tabs to create a group with the tabs already opened.
• Name the new tab group and tap Save.

How to close open Safari tabs on your Mac from your iPhone

If you have a MacBook or iPad signed onto the same Apple ID as your iPhone , when you open the Safari app, and you tap on the two squares in the bottom right corner, you will see a list of the pages open on your MacBook below those open on your iPhone. It isn't possible to close them all down at once from your iPhone, but you can close them out one by one from your iPhone, so they are no longer open on your Mac.

• Make sure that you have Safari enabled under the iCloud settings first . Head to the Settings App.
• Tap your name , then iCloud .
• In Apps using iCloud , make sure the Safari toggle is green .
• Open Safari on your iPhone.
• Tap the tabs icon.
• Tap the plus to open a new tab.
• Scroll down on the new tab until you see "From [Your MacBook's Name]."
• There are two ways to close out these tabs -- you can tap and hold the entry to close, then select close. Or, you can click "Show All" then swipe left and tap close.

How to open a private browsing tab in Safari on iPhone

Private Browsing Mode on Safari allows you to visit websites without Safari remembering what pages you've visited, your search history or your Autofill information when you close the tab.

To open a Private Browsing Tab in Safari on your iPhone, follow these steps:

• Press and hold the squares in the bottom right corner.
• Select 'New Private Tab.'

You can also tap the squares once, tap 'Private' in the left corner to highlight it, and tap the '+' in the middle to open a new Private Browsing Tab.

More Safari organization tricks

Did you know that you could create different browsing profiles to keep your work and personal browsing separate? It's a new feature on iOS 17, but it's not the only Safari trick that can help keep your browser organized. You can also bookmark multiple tabs at once, or even alphabetize that long list of open Safari tabs. You can even swipe left on the address bar to quickly open a new tab.

How to Close All of Your Safari Tabs at Once on iPhone or iPad

There are some iOS gestures and tricks that have been around forever, but remain relatively hidden because they're hard to find unless you know about them.

Closing all of the tabs in your Safari browser on an iOS device is one such trick -- it's simple if you know how to do it, but it's a gesture you might not know exists.

play Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Here's how to do it:

• Open up Safari.
• Long press on the "Tabs" icon denoted by two squares. On iPhones, it's at the bottom of the browser in portrait mode or at the top in landscape mode. On the iPad, it's at the top.
• Select Close All Tabs.

Alternatively, you can single tap on the Tabs icon to bring up the browser window view, and then long press on "Done" to bring up the same "Close All Tabs" interface.

That's all there is to it. Safari will let you know how many tabs are currently open, and it will close each and every one after the Close All Tabs option is tapped.

Because it's so easy to open a new tab when browsing without meaning to on an iOS device, the Close All Tabs option is super handy for getting rid of all those open browser windows in one quick go.

Are there really MacRumors readers that don’t know this?

Thanks for sharing the shortcut. It will be real helpful to me in the future. Especially when I am cleaning up my wife’s iPhone. She usually has 20 to 30 tabs open.

Why doesn’t this use force touch? iOS has more and more UX inconsistencies.

How to Close All Open Tabs at Once in Safari on iPhone 12

Got a cluttered Safari with too many tabs open on your iPhone 12? No worries! I’ll show you the quick and easy way to close all those open tabs at once. Trust me, it’s a real game-changer for browsing efficiency.

Step by Step Tutorial to Close All Open Tabs in Safari on an iPhone 12

Before we dive into the steps, let’s talk about what we’re going to achieve here. Closing all open Safari tabs at once will help declutter your browser, making it easier and faster to navigate. Plus, it can help your iPhone run a bit smoother. So, let’s get to it!

Step 1: Open Safari

Open the Safari app on your iPhone 12. You’ll see all your open tabs displayed as mini windows in a grid or carousel, depending on your settings.

Step 2: Long-press the Tabs button

Find the Tabs button, which looks like two overlapping squares, and long-press it. This button is usually located at the bottom right corner of your screen. A long-press means to press and hold the button for a couple of seconds.

Step 3: Select ‘Close All [number] Tabs’

A menu will pop up with several options. Tap the ‘Close All [number] Tabs’ to close all your tabs. The number will vary depending on how many tabs you have open. For instance, if you have 10 tabs open, it will say ‘Close All 10 Tabs’.

Once you’ve completed the action, all the open tabs in your Safari browser will close simultaneously. You’ll be left with a fresh, single new tab to start your browsing anew.

Tips for Closing All Open Tabs in Safari on an iPhone 12

• Get into the habit of closing tabs regularly to maintain a clutter-free browser.
• Remember, closing all tabs means you’ll lose any unsaved information on those pages, so make sure to bookmark or save any necessary information.
• If you accidentally close all tabs, don’t panic! You can quickly reopen the last closed tab by pressing the Tabs button and then selecting ‘Reopen Last Closed Tab.’
• Keep in mind that closing all tabs can also log you out of websites where you were signed in.
• Use the ‘Private’ browsing feature if you want certain tabs to not be saved in your history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i undo closing all tabs in safari on my iphone 12.

If you’ve closed all tabs and want to recover them, you can press the Tabs button, then select ‘Reopen Last Closed Tab.’ Unfortunately, this will only reopen the last tab you were on, not all of them.

Will closing all my tabs log me out of websites?

Yes, it’s likely that you will be logged out of most websites once you close all tabs since Safari will clear your session information.

Is there a way to close all tabs automatically?

No, as of now, Safari does not have a feature to close all tabs automatically after a certain period. You have to do it manually.

Can I close all tabs on other models of iPhone?

Yes, this method works on other models of the iPhone as long as they are running a version of iOS that supports this feature.

Does closing all tabs save battery life?

It can help a bit, as having fewer tabs open can reduce the load on your iPhone’s processor, potentially saving battery life.

• Open Safari.
• Long-press the Tabs button.
• Select ‘Close All [number] Tabs’.

Closing all open tabs in Safari on your iPhone 12 is a nifty trick to master. Not only does it declutter your browser and save you the headache of flipping through countless pages, but it also helps your device run a tad smoother. Remember, though, while closing tabs can feel liberating, be sure to save any important work first!

Let’s face it, in this digital age, tab management is a real skill. By following the steps I’ve outlined, you’re on your way to becoming a pro at it. Are you ready to embrace the clean slate that comes with a tab-less Safari? Go ahead, give it a try. And next time you find yourself drowning in a sea of tabs, you’ll know exactly what to do. Happy browsing!

Why I Regret Buying an Android Tablet Instead of an iPad

4 reasons why the apple watch ultra 2 is still better than series 10, why capcut’s ai tools are my go-to for creating short-form videos.

Whether you use Safari on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or any combination of these devices, it's very likely you have a lot of tabs open in it right now. This is far from a call-out—I'm guilty of it myself. It feels great to close a bunch of them when you finish a project or finish reading everything, but it's annoying to close them one by one.

Thankfully, there are ways to quickly close all of your Safari tabs at once on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. So, read on to see how you do it on each device!

How to Close All Safari Tabs on an iPhone or iPad

As you can see in our guide for using Safari on iPhone and iPad , Safari runs the same on both devices. So, you can follow the same steps for closing all of your Safari tabs on an iPhone or iPad.

These steps start with opening Safari on your device. Once Safari is open, find the Tabs icon in the bottom menu (it looks like two overlapping squares). If you don't see this bottom menu, scroll up on your screen to make it visible.

Long-press on the Tabs icon. A menu should appear, giving you options to open new tabs and close existing ones. Tap Close All [Number] Tabs to close all tabs you have open in Safari at once. It's that easy.

You can also close or delete all of your Safari tabs on an iPhone or iPad if you only tap the Tabs icon once. This shows all of the tabs you have open on your device, gives you an exact count of them, and lets you close them individually.

To close all of your Safari tabs at once from here, long-press on Done and select Close All [Number] Tabs . All of your Safari tabs will be deleted immediately.

How to Close All Your Safari Tabs on a Mac

There are many great ways to manage your tabs and bookmarks in Safari on a Mac , but sometimes you just need to close them all. Unlike on an iPhone and iPad, you can't close all the open Safari tabs at once on your Mac with a single click. It instead takes a menu selection and an additional click.

To find the appropriate menu, open Safari on your Mac. Then, Control -click (or right-click) on any tab in the Safari window. A menu will appear with options to pin, duplicate, and close tabs. Select the Close Other Tabs option. This will close all the tabs open in Safari, leaving only the one you opened the menu on.

You can now hit the Close (X) button in the window of your one open tab or press Cmd + W to close or delete the last tab. Either way, you'll have closed all open Safari tabs on your Mac pretty much all at once!

Close All Your Safari Tabs for Peace of Mind

It can be deeply satisfying to close all your open tabs in your Safari browser simultaneously. Your Mac, iPhone, and iPad can run a little quicker after, and your mind can feel a little less cluttered too.

Safari makes closing all of your tabs easy, no matter which Apple device you're using. Hopefully, the above steps illustrated that and helped you close all your tabs for a bit of digital decluttering and peace of mind.

Close all safari tabs at once, rearrange your tabs by website or title, find tabs by searching for them, automatically close tabs after a period of time, use reading list to save things for later, sort tabs into groups for better organization, other "hidden" tab tricks.

Do you have a tab problem on your iPhone? If you get into the habit of never closing anything, you can end up with hundreds of tabs that are hard to manage. It's time to say no to tab clutter and take back control!

It's easy to close all tabs at once in Safari on an iPhone or iPad. Launch the browser then tap and hold the "View Tabs" button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You can then choose the "Close All Tabs" option to nuke your browsing session entirely. This works for the current session, so if you're in a "Private" browsing session then this will close all open private tabs.

If you'd rather save just one tab, first tap on the "View Tabs" button to bring up the tiled tabs view. From here tap and hold a tab and choose "Close Other Tabs" to just keep the highlighted tab open.

You can also rearrange your currently-open tabs to make finding things a little easier. You can do this by website, so that tabs from the same domain (like howtogeek.com) are grouped together, or you can arrange by title to alphabetize your session. There's no way of keeping this order, so you'll need to repeat this from time to time if you want to keep things this way.

To arrange tabs, launch Safari and then tap on the "View Tabs" button in the bottom-right corner. Tap and hold any tab and select "Arrange Tabs by" followed by your selection.

If you've got a lot of tabs open, rearranging things might not be very useful. Scrolling through hundreds of tabs just to find the one you want is far from ideal. In this instance, you can search for a specific tab just like you can search for apps or preferences elsewhere in iOS .

To do this, launch Safari and tap on the "View Tabs" button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. From here, "pull down" the top layer of tabs (or scroll up) to reveal a search bar. You can now search by title bar or URL to find the tab you need.

If you don't trust yourself to keep Safari clean and tidy, you can have tabs close automatically on a set period. Head to Settings > Safari and under the "Tabs" section tap on "Close Tabs" to choose between a day, a week, or a month.

You may find yourself "losing" tabs if you enable this. Fortunately, there's another feature you can use instead to keep track of things you want to revisit later.

Do you often open tabs in the background, intending to come back to them at a later time? Safari doesn't provide the nicest interface for browsing through open tabs, so it's easy to miss or forget about articles or websites that you've "saved" for later.

A far better option is to use Safari's Reading List instead. You can add links to your Reading List and then access them at a later time. These items will remain on your Reading List until you manually remove them, just like YouTube's Watch Later feature . You never need to clean it up, and it will sync between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

You can add a link to your reading list by long-pressing it and selecting the "Add to Reading List" button. You can then access your reading list using the "Bookmarks" button at the bottom of a standard tab (it looks like an open book) then tapping on the "glasses" icon to see your Reading List.

If you want to stop your tabs from getting out of hand in the first place, you can use Safari's Tab Group feature to compartmentalize your browsing sessions. This allows you to create new groups for different purposes. You can use this to separate "Work" and "Study" groups from your interests, like "Games" or "Sports."

It may seem like a drag to manage your sessions in this way, but you can use the feature as little or as much as you like. To create a new tab session, launch Safari and tap the "View Tabs" button in the bottom-right corner. Tap on the "Tabs" drop-down button at the bottom of the screen and choose between creating a new empty group or a new group using the tabs you currently have open.

You'll be asked to name the group, then switch between it and regular browsing sessions using the "Tabs" drop-down (the name of which will change based on the session you're currently in).

You can move tabs to your session by long-pressing them in the tiled tab view and selecting the "Move to Tab Group" button. To delete a group, head back to the "Tabs" drop-down menu and tap "Edit" then use the ellipsis "..." followed by the "Delete" button.

Tab groups saved in this way will sync between devices, and changes you make on your Mac or iPad will be reflected on your iPhone.

There are two other tab tricks that you might find useful while using Safari on your iPhone. First, you can tap any tab with two fingers to open it in a new tab. If you have specified tabs open "In Background" under Settings > Safari > Open Links, then these will open without pulling focus to the new tab.

Lastly, you can also get back any tabs you have recently closed by long-pressing the plus "+" new tab button. These tabs are limited only to tabs you have closed on the device you are using, rather than another device (like a Mac).

If you've got a lot of tabs open but you don't want to kill them all at once, you might want to use the StartPage.ai Safari extension to close them from an easy-to-use interface. This is a lot faster than using Safari's default tab view to close hundreds of tabs.

This is just one of the benefits that Safari extensions can bring to your iPhone. Check out our other recommended Safari extensions and do more with your iPhone's browser.
