How do you see what tabs are open on iPhone 12?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

To see what tabs are open on your iPhone 12, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by unlocking your iPhone and navigating to the home screen. To do this, you can simply press the power button or use Face ID or Touch ID, depending on your settings.

2. Once you’re on the home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen. This action will bring up the app switcher, which displays all your recently used apps.

3. In the app switcher, you’ll see a stack of app cards representing the apps you’ve recently used. To find the tabs that are open in Safari, you need to locate the Safari app card. You can swipe left or right to scroll through the app cards until you find the Safari card.

4. When you find the Safari card, you can tap on it to open Safari with all your open tabs visible. Each tab appears as a separate card, displaying the webpage title and a thumbnail preview of the page.

5. To switch between tabs, you can swipe left or right on the screen to navigate through them. You can also tap on a specific tab to bring it to the foreground.

6. If you want to close a tab, you can swipe it off the screen to the left or right. Alternatively, you can tap the “X” button on the top left corner of the tab card to close it.

7. To return to the home screen or switch to another app, you can swipe down from the top of the screen or press the home button (if your iPhone has a physical home button).

It’s worth noting that the process may vary slightly depending on your iPhone model and iOS version. However, the general steps should remain the same.

Here are a few additional tips:

– If you have many tabs open and want to quickly switch between them, you can swipe left or right on the bottom edge of the Safari screen to move between tabs.

– If you accidentally close a tab and want to reopen it, you can tap the square icon in the bottom right corner of the Safari screen to bring up the tab switcher. From there, you can tap the “+” button to open a new tab or swipe left to find the recently closed tab and tap on it to reopen it.

– If you prefer a different method of navigating through open tabs, you can also use the 3D Touch feature (if available on your iPhone model). Press firmly on the left edge of the screen (or long-press on iPhone models without 3D Touch) to bring up the tab switcher.
