There are a surprising number of secret tricks on Safari on iOS, allowing you to manipulate tabs, perform page-specific searches, and more, and not all of these features are instantly evident because of the movements involved.

Safari Tips and Tricks

  • Close All Tabs -Does your iPhone have hundreds of tabs open in Safari? At once, you can close them all. Just click the "Done" button in the tab view for a long time (you can get to it by pressing the little icon that looks like two squares) and you will see an option to close all tabs.
  • Open Recently Closed Tabs -Did you inadvertently close a tab that you did not want to close? Long click the "+" button in the tab view and a list of tabs you've recently closed will be shown so you can open it right back up.
  • Search Your Open Tabs - You may need to do some digging around with lots of tabs to locate the particular tab you're searching for but fortunately, a built-in tab search feature makes this simpler. Simply scroll to the end of your tab view (or press the top of the screen to leap to the top) and you'll see a tab search bar.
  • Close Filtered Tabs - The search function doubles as a philtre if you want to close any of your tabs while keeping the others open. Long press the "Cancel" button next to the search interface after doing a search in your tabs, and you will see an option to close only the tabs that fit your search.
  • Find Text on Page - You know how you can find something unique on a website using the Command + F function on a Mac? In iOS, too, there's a find feature. When you open a website, type in a search phrase at the top of the search bar and then scroll down to "On This Page" to search the website for that keyword. Alternatively, the Sharing Sheet can be opened and the 'Find on List' button found.
  • Close Tabs on Other Devices - You can close tabs on your Mac or your iPad right from your iPhone if you have multiple devices and use iCloud along with the function that syncs Safari information. To do this, open the tab view (again the two-square little icon), scroll all the way to the bottom of your open tabs, and then you'll see an app that lists other devices' open tabs.
  • Handoff Websites - You can use Handoff, which is available on most current Mac machines and iPhones, if you are looking at a website on your iPhone and then want to open it up on your Mac. On the Mac, with a small iPhone icon, you can see a small Safari icon on your dock, just click on it and whatever you're looking at on your iPhone can be opened right on your Mac. Using the same cloud tab interface used to close tabs on other computers, you can also open websites from device to device.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
