**Adding Tabs to Safari**

One of the easiest ways to add tabs to Safari if you have a 3D touch device is to 3D touch on the app icon, then select "Add Tab". You can also tap the tab button in the bottom right-hand corner and tap the plus button to add a new tab. Alternatively, you can tap and hold on the tab button and select "New Tab" if you're already in the tab interface. Definitely use the plus button that's going to be faster, but if you're not in the tab browser, you can simply tap and hold on the tab button and select "New Tab" either way it works.

**Closing Tabs in Safari**

There are several ways to close tabs in Safari on the iPhone. Number one is to use the tab browser, where you can simply swipe on a tab like this from right to left or tap the X button in the upper left-hand corner. While viewing a tab, simply tap the tab button and select "Close This Tab". It's safe to say that these methods are the most commonly used ways to close tabs.

**Pasting URLs and Search Terms**

The P Stingo and feastin search functions are unheralded features in Safari. Let me show you how they work. Basically, if you have a URL in the clipboard, you can simply tap and hold on the address bar and then paste and go just like this: tap and hold, paste, and go. That will instantly take you to the URL just like that.

**Adding Bookmarks and Loading Desktop Sites**

You can quickly add a bookmark for a reading list entry to a page by tapping and holding on the bookmark button and then selecting "Add Bookmark" or "Add To Reading List". Super simple, super easy to load the desktop version of a site. All you need to do is tap and hold on the refresh button in the address bar and select "Request Desktop Site".

**Searching Open Tabs**

In 2019, the majority of websites that we visit feature responsive designs, so this won't really have an effect. Did you know you could search your open tabs in Safari? To do so, open up the tab browser and then scroll all the way up to the very top. That will reveal this search tabs bar. So all you need to do is put your cursor there and then search for a tab. For example, I'll put in ESP for ESPN or I can put in 9 to 5, and that will bring up all of the 9 to 5 related sites.

**Canceling Search Tab Results**

When you first saw this on Twitter and it blew my mind, I'll have the tweet link below in the description. But basically, you can close all the tabs that appear in your search tab results by tapping and holding cancel and then "Cancel". That will show closed five tabs matching, and then you'll see the search query there. Just tap that and it closes only those tabs. Ridiculously cool.

**Accessing Recently Closed Tabs**

To access recently closed tabs, long press on the plus button in the tab browser like this, and now you'll see all of your recently closed tabs. These are all the tabs that just closed. This allows you to quickly reopen those recently closed tabs. So all you need to do is simply tap on one and it reopens.

**Accessing Back and Forward History**

You can easily access back and forward history within Safari. Let's go ahead and navigate through here, on 9 to 5 Toys. We'll tap another link, so we have some history, and then we'll go back, we'll go back again. Alright now, if you long press on the forward button, it will reveal your forward history. So we're gonna tap "Done" and this time we're gonna go for two times.

If you long press on the back button, it reveals the back history. Now I use this one all the time to quickly close tabs. Simply long press on the tab button and you can select "Close All Tabs", and they'll give you the number of tabs as well. You can also do so from within the tab browser when you tap and hold on the done button, and say "Close All Tabs".

**Building Search Suggestions**

In the iOS 12.2 beta, there's a bonus tip that not everyone is aware of. Do you notice those little arrows on the right of the search suggestions? Those arrows allow you to build your own search suggestions. So if you tap that arrow, it'll place that suggestion in the address bar but it won't submit the search allowing you to continue to build on that search. This is a feature that Chrome users have had for some time now, but now it's finally coming to Safari and it is such a handy tool.
