iOS Tip 168 - Close All Safari Tabs

1. Open Safari on the iPad or iPad
2. Tap and hold on the tab icon, it looks like two overlapping squares in the top right corner

3. Choose “Close Tabs” from the dropdown menu that appears, the item selection will also display how many total tabs are open in Safari

The feature exists on iOS for both iPad and iPhone, though it may look slightly differently depending on the screen it’s displayed on, nonetheless the feature is always accessed by a long tap and hold on the browser tabs button.

It closes every single browser tab that was open in Safari, leaving you a blank slate to open new tabs as needed. This can be particularly nice if you wind up with dozens of tabs open in Safari, something which is fairly easy to happen as you browse over time.

iOS Tip 167 - Magnify It

New magnifier:

This is great: You can triple-click the Home button to turn the iPhone into the world’s best electronic magnifying glass. Perfect for dim restaurants, tiny type on packages, and theater programs. You can zoom in, turn on the flashlight, tweak the contrast, take a picture - the works.

To set this up, open Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Magnifier toggle it On

iOS Tip 166 - Copy Phone Numbers

Copy Phone Numbers from Incoming Calls

Need to copy the phone number from an incoming call that’s not associated with one of your contacts? In the Phone app’s Recents screen, you can’t select the number to copy it, but here’s a hidden workaround:

Tap the i-phone-app-inline button next to the call, and then press and hold the number for a second or two until a Copy button appears. (It’s not a 3D Touch press, just a normal press without removing your finger right away.)

Tap Copy and you can then paste that phone number into Mail, Messages, Notes, or any other app.

To paste, tap where you want the number to go and tap the Paste button that appears.
