Pages as little icons in Safari, Mail iOS 15 for IPad

small window/ shelves.........

Absolutely useless and annoying. Is there a way to rectify this problem permanently? I have tried several ideas and suggestions but, like a bad day - they are still lingering. Would sincerely appreciate any advice that would prevent their reappearance

I would really like to turn this OFF. It is anoying!

Thank you for rhe solution

Haha! realised someone has already said what I was about to say. Now cannot find a way to delete my comment so just editing it.

That worked for me, too, thanks. I dislike “The Shelf” intensely.

Thank you. Thank you. This is among the most annoying “features” that Apple has introduced. I hope these fixes actually work!

Brilliant thanks so much, those nasty little annoying start page icons have gone! Hurrah!

Thank you. This was a big help

I have the same problem and want to get rid of these popups. They are very disturbing in my mail and no way to get rid of them.

This is the stupidest feature and totally frustrating. And you can’t disable it? Illogical. Diabolical.

The reply was that it cannot be disabled…..wtf???

Fully agree,

see my previous post. It’s worked for me. They haven’t returned. I got rid of them. Click ‘ merge all windows’ then drag the pages up. New Tabs remain at top as usual. This is on an iPad…latest OS.

This works for Safari, but has anyone figured out a way to get rid of the annoying thumbnails in Mail?

I would like it it it could be controlled by #of days. Even though have erased my history a couple of times, panels will show from a month back.
