You can close the Safari tab (ie. window) by touching and holding the tab icon. This is the one in the bottom right corner of the screen which looks like one page on top of another. A menu will pop up with several options. One option is to Close This Tab.


*This is a feature of at east iOS 14. It may not be available in an earlier version of iOS. If not, tap (don't hold) on the same Tab icon and all the open tabs in Safari will appear and be available to close separately.
