Not a Fan of the New Address Bar Location of the Safari Browser? Rewind !

As you might have seen on one of my previous posts, I recently upgraded the operating system of my iPhone to iOS 15. I wanted to explore whether there were any changes on Safari and when I opened Safari my initial reaction was “Wait, why is the address bar at the bottom? Can I change it back to the way it was originally?”.

Apparently, I saw another person baffled by this on Twitter and thought of sharing a fix for this with you. The procedure is as follows:

1. Tap on Settings and then on “Safari”.
2. Scroll down to the “TABS” section.
3. Tap on “Single Tab” as shown in Figure 2 below.

Once this setting is selected, you should be able to see the address bar at the top as it used to be. This is shown in Figure 3 below.

Hope this helps.
