Change default email and browser apps:
Apple is giving up on the unnecessarily strict hold it has kept on iOS with regards to certain apps. You can change the default web browser and email app on your iPhone.
You no long need to use Safari and Apple Mail as your primary browser and email applications. Every time someone sends you a link, you won’t be forced to open it in Safari, for example.
Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and DuckDuckGo have been approved by Apple as alternatives to its very own browser for iOS.
In order to change the default web browser or email application, first make sure you’ve downloaded it from the App Store.
Then stroll over to Settings > (App Name) > Default Browser App (or Default Mail App, depending on what you’re switching) > Select your preferred app.
Close browser tabs automatically:
Have you got into the habit of leaving hundreds of browser tabs open because it’s simpler than sorting through them and finding out which ones you need to keep using?
Safari has an option that lets you automatically close tabs which you haven’t looked at for a really long time.
To activate this, go to Settings > Safari > Close Tabs and select how often you want the tabs to be closed automatically. You get to pick from After One Day, After One Week, After One Month and Manually.
Honestly, if you haven’t accessed an open tab in over a month, you probably don’t need to leave it open anyway.
Control + F in Safari:
This is an oldie but a goodie. Did you know that although you cannot press Control + F to find something on the web page you’re browsing, this function is still present in Safari?
Once you open a page you want to read or browse through, simply type the term you’re looking for in the URL bar, but DON’T HIT GO on the keyboard.
A menu will be pulled down, the last option saying On This Page. Tap on Find “(word you’re looking for)”.
You will be shown all the matching words with a section at the bottom which lets you skip to all the repetitions of the word on the page you’re reading.
