Apple’s new iOS 15 operating system comes with several new features and functionalities, many of which are aimed at improving the user experience. It added some interesting features for SharePlay, Focus Mode, and even Notifications. Among them, the company also introduced some new features to the built-in Safari browser.
The Safari browser has been redesigned in the latest major release of iOS and now features an address bar at the bottom of the screen, has a new website tinting feature that blends the tab bar with the website’s color, changing the background of the browser’s start page, etc.
There’s also a built-in tab management feature that automatically closes all the tabs after a specific period of time. It is mainly done to preserve the battery life and free up memory for other tasks and apps.
