Fix Safari toolbars so that they don’t hide

On iPhone iOS 26.2.1, is there any way to lock the bottom toolbar in place? I’m fed up of webpages having buttons at the bottom that the toolbar puts itself in the way of.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 26

In Safari: Try tapping the Aa icon at top left.

Choose to "Show Toolbar"

Oops ... apologies: In Safari iOS 26.3, with a website open:

you may need to tap on the little icon in the address bar first ie: the little rectangle with two lines under it ... (and there's now an option to hide distracting items. above the A a) yet clicking the three dots takes you to a "Hide toolbar" option.

Sorry if nothing there is tailored to your requirements.

You can always send a "feature request" to Apple via their feedback webpage: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

There is no Aa icon in the top left.

The only option in the Page Menu is to Hide Toolbars.
