Safari search bar missing after updating to iOS 17.4 on iPhone

Hello,

After I updated my phone to iOS 17.4 today the search bar went missing🙀

I can’t use Safari anymore, although I’ve been using it forever, and I’m so used it, and I even have like 60 tabs opened there, but can’t open a new one, or go to a new one in any of them, because the search bar went just missing after the new software update!!🙀🤯

And not just for me, my friend is facing the same issue after the update🙀🙀

I had the same issue. Switching things in settings didn't fix it. What fixed the issue was force-closing the Safari browser and re-launching it.

You can do that when you cycle between apps and see them as cards. Just swipe the Safari "card" in the correct direction. For my SE2020 it was "up"

I mean all the tab is gone, can’t even go back, because even the buttons for going back are gone!🙀

I could fix it by changing the settings to Single Tab and then back to Tab Bar

Switch once to landscape mode and then back - that did the trick for me. Not sure if you had to toggle the adress bar in landscape mide in the settings first.
