The latest iOS 15 from Apple comes with several new features and functionalities and not just for the system but for the built-in apps as well. Safari web browser has received lots of new features, including a revamped user interface.
As a part of the new design, the address bar or the search bar has been moved from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. Not everyone is pleased with this, especially if you are used to the older way.
If you are one of those and looking for a way to get to the earlier interface for the address bar, then you are at the right place. In this guide, we will be showcasing two different methods for changing the location of the address bar or the search bar on your iPhone’s Safari from the bottom to the top of the screen.
