Safari Apple

Safari, the browser that Apple provides by default in its iOS operating system, has a significant number of functions and features that can simplify its handling, but it is necessary to know the shortcuts and combinations to activate them.

Many of the browser functions are accessible through simple options available in menu or icons

These are simple tricks that sometimes solve a need with a simple gesture, by pressing a part of the screen or on an icon or menu in which unexpected options appear, but which almost always solve the handling of one of the most used applications of a smartphone as is the internet browser.

-Open recently closed tabs: If inadvertently a browser tab has been closed or you want to recover one that was closed and the address is not remembered, you must access the tab view where with the “+” button a list of the last open tabs will appear, which they will open when you click on the desired one.

-Close all tabs: When there are many tabs open, Safari allows you to close them all at once through the “Done” button that appears in the tab view (the icon with two squares).

-Full screen capture: For various reasons (such as reporting a technical problem) it can be interesting to be able to capture the entire screen. After pressing the necessary combination to capture the screen depending on the iPhone / iPad model used, the preview of the screen capture will appear, in whose editor the option “Full page” appears, which can be stored or shared by email, application applications. messaging, social networks …

Alternatively, it can also be done by accessing the Share menu and selecting the “Search on page” option.

By the way, this function does not work only in Safari but also in any other app.
