For Apple users, Safari is the best way to experience the internet. Safari works seamlessly and smoothly with built-in privacy features. While surfing the internet, we want to manage multiple tabs at once. Managing multiple tabs is not an easy thing. With the new update from Apple, you can group tabs in the Safari browser in a common folder to access them easily.
With the latest update, iOS 15, the Safari browser on iPhone allows you to group tabs. Along with group tabs, you can enable website tinting, create multiple tab groups, rename groups, delete, move tabs, and more.
