My Gear:

[SanGerardino]

This is the first "tips and tricks" video I've seen in a while that has actually taught me a thing or two I didn't know! Great job! 👏

[GreyAlive]

Safari's underrated both on iOS and Mac OS, it's great

[beaumac]

These are really good tips. Who knew you could long press?? Game changer. Thank you.

[BrothaNeo]

Nice! Thank you brotha man lol! I needed this video because I didn’t know Safari was extensive as this!

[ToddPage]

okay, this is really helpful. I might be drawn to using Safari on my phone exlusively nice.

[FactsNC]

Thank you for making this. Can you speak into the RAM leak in safari? Safari has been very unstable for some of us.

[bm]

Long pressing on the bottom icons is a new one on me! Cool.

[man-bagdammit]

4:48 — just a long press on that "aA" button and you're already in/out of Reader Mode.

[JDA]

Oh wow, I just found out that you can stack multiple tabs by dragging them in the tab overview and then copy them to a different tab group or profile. It's important to note, that will only copy the URL from the tabs, not the state of the tabs. Furthermore, you cannot do this with empty tabs

This is really helpful. Thanks for sharing these tips. I do have a question. When I open Google search widget on my home screen and open the topics/even search results it opens them in the app itself. I assumed it's opening in Chrome which I set as my default browser. Later, I realized that irrespective of what default browser I choose these links always open in Safari and for some reason none of my Safari extensions (like Adblock etc) work. However, if I click share button and then open in safari I can see my Safari extensions work well. Not sure how to change this behavior in my iPhone 15 Pro. Is there a way to force all google search results to open natively in Safari browser (and not in the Google app)?

I use reader mode for recipes I find online. It removes all the popups and ads. Sometimes it removes the measurements, but saving the page to files can be great for stripping out the ads as well, but keeps the measurements.

Hi Steve, excellent video. I mean this sincerely I'm a fairly new subscriber always been on Samsung Android but will definitely when 16 models are released by Apple will be getting the 16 pro Max. You are one of the most succinct and informative people that I have been subscribing to who are excellent with Apple products. You don't have any unnecessary fluff in my opinion at all. Just wanted you to know and I really appreciate these videos a great deal🎉

is there any way to show date in iPhone control centre or status bar

[jamespaley]

Is there a way to setup safari to open personal tabs everytime but also have a second safari say shortcut on the homescreen to open a work tab?
As I tried this but then the personal one opens back on the work tab after using it rather then opening the personal again, as I would like to keep work separate but remove the changing tabs for efficiency.

[DiLLZGFX]

Is there a way to take a screenshot and have it copied to your clipboard straight away on the iPad? I'm finding it so slow as I need to copy images for work thanks

[AntonellaFrancesca]

Nice tips but you need A stylist; that little piece of lint or whateva on upour finger is bugging the poop out of me!
