How to use Tab Groups in Safari on iOS 15

Tab Groups is a new Safari feature introduced in iOS 15 that aims to make organizing and storing open browser tabs more manageable without having to activate those tabs.

Tab Groups are a way to easily save and manage related tabs, such as those used when planning a trip, shopping, or used to store tabs you visit every day.

You can open a new tiled tab view in Safari, then press and hold the Tabs icon in the middle to save open tabs to a Tab Group or to open one of the saved Tab Groups. Below is a summary of the steps involved.

How to create Tab Group

1. Launch Safari and tap the Open Tabs button in the bottom right corner of the screen.

2. Press and hold the center of the tab bar at the bottom of the screen.
