Tab Groups in Safari are a powerful feature that allows you to organize and manage your tabs more effectively. Whether you’re using Safari on macOS or iOS, creating and utilizing Tab Groups can greatly enhance your browsing experience. In this article, we will discuss how to create and manage Tab Groups in Safari on both platforms.
Let’s start with Safari on macOS. There are a couple of ways to create a Tab Group. The easiest method is to make a group out of your currently open tabs. This is useful if you want to pick up where you left off when you reopen Safari later. To do this, simply click the down arrow in the toolbar (located on the left side, next to the sidebar button). Then, select “New Tab Group With [X] Tabs” from the drop-down menu. In the left column, under the Tab Group subhead, give your tab group a name and press Enter.
If you want to create a tab group from scratch, you can do that too. Click the down arrow in the toolbar again and choose “New Empty Tab Group.” Give your tab group a name and press Enter. To add tabs to this group, right-click on a tab and select “Move to Tab Group.” Choose the desired tab group or click and drag the tab to the group on the left side of the screen.
Once you’ve created a tab group, you can easily access it by clicking on the down arrow again and selecting the desired group. It’s important to note that tab groups are not set in stone – you can modify them as needed. To do this, click the arrow to the right of the tab group in the sidebar’s tab group list. Right-click on any tab within the group for options to remove it from the group, remove all tabs that aren’t in it, or move it to a different group. Additionally, you can click the three dots next to the arrow to rename, delete, or share the group, among other options.
Now, let’s move on to Safari on iOS. Tab Groups can sync between iOS and macOS devices, so if you create a group on your Mac computer, you can access it on your iPhone as well. However, if it’s more convenient for you to create tab groups directly on your iPhone, you can certainly do so within the Safari app. Start by opening the Safari app and tapping the tabs button located on the bottom right (it looks like two squares stacked together). Press and hold a tab that you want to add to a group, then select “Move to Tab Group.” Choose “New Tab Group” and give it a name.
Tab Groups are a fantastic way to organize your browsing experience, whether you’re working on different assignments, sharing a computer with multiple users, or simply separating work-related tabs from personal tabs. With Tab Groups, you can easily switch between different batches of tabs with just a click, keeping your browsing sessions more focused and efficient.
In conclusion, Safari Tab Groups offer a powerful way to organize and manage your tabs in both macOS and iOS. Whether you’re creating tab groups from existing tabs or starting from scratch, Safari provides the flexibility and control to tailor your browsing experience to your specific needs. So, if you haven’t already tried using Tab Groups in Safari, now is the time to give it a go and discover a more organized and productive browsing experience.
