iOS 15 and Safari Tabs

How do I change the location of the url and search bar in Safari in iOS 15? I had this question myself and the community did not seem to have an answer so here is what I did.

  1. Open Settings
  2. Touch Safari
  3. Scroll down to Tabs
  4. Switch between Single (at the top) or Multiple (at the bottom).


I have a screen recording of the steps but the interface will not let me post it.


Hope this help,

The Tabs option in Safari is either "Separate" tab bar (shown at the top) or "Compact Tab Bar" (shown at the top, also).

The url field/tab bar at the bottom, is an iPhone feature only. It doesn’t apply to an iPad.
