Moving search bar on ipad

How do I move the search bar to the bottom of screen on ipad? The three dots above the search bar are annoying and I want to get away from them

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

Whyyy is this not an option?! I spent $2k on this iPad Pro and this one little thing is making me want to return it. It’s just terribly inconvenient to have to reach all the way to the top and then type awkwardly in the search bar when sitting at my desk. It’s be so much better if it were at the bottom. Do you know if this will ever become an option on an iPad?

Contributors here are all end-users - just like you. We have no insight into Apple’s product development and release programmes beyond information that is publicly released.

Some Browser developers have experimented, with limited success, in moving the Address Bar to the bottom of the screen. Whilst this may appear to be a useful convenience feature, users often find that other usability issues surface with this arrangement. That said, Apple have offered/implemented this feature for Safari in iOS for iPhone.

The reasons for this feature not being released for iPad, other than wider usability issues to which I have already alluded, are known only to Apple.

Apple do invite submission of constructive comments and feature requests via their Product Feedback portal. For iPad and iPadOS:

Feedback - iPad - Apple

Unlike iOS15 for iPhone, iPadOS15 does not support transposition of the Safari tab/search bars to the bottom of the screen.

In addressing your issue, consider that in Safari the entire URL field is a tappable zone. Just tap anywhere in the visible field (not just the visible text). Armed with this knowledge - and admittedly a little deliberate and conscious practice - you will quickly become accustomed to a slightly different way of using Safari. A new “habit” will emerge - and become your new sub-conscious behaviour.

Unless you are extremely accurate in tapping only the address bar itself, a central tap can trigger the multitasking function. You have sub-consciously “learned” to tap the centre of the bar - because you have been conditioned to tapping the actual visible text to edit this input field. As this text is centre-justified, you are unwittingly attracted to the centre - where the touch zone for the multitasking button is located.

As such, just tap anywhere in the Search Bar field - and not the centre-justified text within the field.

Thank you for your reply! I understand only Apple knows the reasoning behind what they do with their interface. I will remain hopeful that it will be an option for iPads some days in the future.

How to Set Safari's Address Bar to the Top or Bottom of the Screen

During the beta phase of iOS 15, Apple added a new Safari design element that moves the URL and tab interface to the bottom of the screen, a decision that was immediately controversial with iPhone users.

If you can't get on with the address bar living at the bottom of the screen and would prefer to have it in its original position at the top, like it was in iOS 14, follow these steps.

• Launch Safari on your ‌iPhone‌.
• Tap the " aA " icon in the left side of the address bar.
• Tap Show Top Address Bar in the popup menu.

You can also control this design change in Settings -> Safari , under the "Tabs" section. To take the URL bar to the top of the Safari interface, select Single Tab .

How to move the Safari Address Bar to the top of the screen in iOS 15

iOS 15 introduced a range of new features to the iPhone experience, and that included a completely redesigned Safari browser.

Though it was designed to make mobile browsing a simpler experience, if there’s one thing people don’t like, it’s change – and people have been very vocal about one feature in particular.

You see, while the Address Bar has traditionally been at the top of the page, it has been shifted to the bottom of the page in iOS 15. It makes sense, bringing the address bar closer to your fingers for easier access, but muscle memory means those moving over from iOS 14 are used to tapping at the top of the screen to access the Address Bar. 

The good news is that there is a way to move the Address Bar back to the top of the screen in Safari in iOS 15. Here’s how to do it. 

How to move the Address Bar in Safari in iOS 15

Moving the Address Bar in Safari in iOS 15 is simple, once you know how. 

• Open the Settings app.
• Scroll down and tap Safari. 
• Scroll down to the Tabs section and locate the option to switch between the Tab Bar and a Single Tab. 
• Select Single Tab to move the Address Bar back to the top of the screen, or select Tab Bar to move it back to the bottom if you change your mind later on. 

It’s worth noting that while the Address Bar will shift to the top of the screen in Safari, the associated buttons will still appear at the bottom as normal.

iOS 15: How to move the Safari address bar back to the top

In iOS 15 , iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey, Apple has dramatically redesigned Safari for the first time in years. The iPhone gets the biggest changes, with a new tab bar at the bottom of the screen and a bunch of new gestures and touch targets. To say that the changes have been “controversial” would be an understatement, with our own Jason Snell calling it “a mess.”

But if you’re struggling to get used to the change, you don’t have to keep it. After criticism during the beta period, Apple has given users the option to go back to a single tab view with an address bar at the top of the screen, like it used to be! Here’s how:

• Open Settings
• Select Safari
• In the Tabs section change from Tab Bar to Single Tab

You can also change the bar at the top back to white, rather than matching the main color of the site, and opt to hide the tab bar when surfing in landscape view. We typically suggest users give interface changes a week or two to get used to them, as changing habits and muscle memory takes time. But if you’ve given the new Tab Bar on the bottom an honest shot and prefer Safari on iPhone to have the address bar at the top like, you know, every other web browser on earth, it’s very easy to change.

How to move the Safari address bar back to the top on iOS 15

Apple's moved the Safari address bar to the bottom of the screen on iOS 15 — but you can change it

Though Apple's iOS 15 introduced a bunch of handy new features, many iPhone users were left wondering how to move the Safari address bar back to the top after it was shifted to the bottom of the screen. 

Granted, having the address bar at the bottom of Safari makes it easier to access if you're using your iPhone with one hand. But when something that you've become used to after years of use is changed — such as the taskbar being moved to the center in Windows 11 — it's understandable when you just want things to be the way they were.

Of course, iOS 15 does have many positive upgrades, as detailed in our full iOS 15 review . In addition to improving the experience of using the latest Apple devices, such as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max , it also gives new life to older Apple products, with compatibility going as far back as the six-year-old iPhone 6s. 

Thankfully, though, it's easy to move the address back to the top on iOS 15, as detailed in our guide below.

How to move the Safari tab bar on iOS 15

1. Open up Safari. On your Apple device with iOS 15 installed navigate to Safari; we're sure you know what it looks like, but just in case you've forgotten, it's the app with a blue and white compass icon.  

2. Press the “aA” button on the tab bar. This can be found on the left side of the tab bar. Press it to bring up a submenu. 

3. Click “Show Top Address Bar” in the submenu (it's the top option).

4. Your tab bar will now appear at the top of the display. It will now default to being at the top, rather than the bottom, from now on.

Now you've moved the address bar back to the top on Safari, take a look at the hidden trackpad that makes editing a breeze on iPhone. You may also want to learn how to get full-screen Caller ID on iOS 15 and how to launch apps by tapping the back of your iPhone .

Don’t like the new Safari on iOS 15? Here’s how to go back to the old design

iOS 15 launches this week and brings with it a lot of new features including Live Text, Focus modes, a new Weather app, FaceTime enhancements as well as more features like FaceTime screen sharing coming later this year. However, one of the more drastic changes is to Safari. Apple has dramatically redesigned the layout of Safari, as well as adding new features like Tab Groups. However, if you don’t like the new UI, you can go back. Here’s how.

On the iPad, Apple has redesigned the tab bar with new button shapes and a compact layout option for how the tabs are arranged in the Safari toolbar.

On the iPhone, there is a more drastic change. The address bar now sits at the bottom of the screen above the toolbar, and there’s a new look for the tabs screen too. It’s fair to say that the default design on iOS 15 is a pretty big departure from what came before. 

Why did Apple redesign Safari? Apple said they are bringing important controls closer to your fingers with a bottom-oriented appearance. That means the address bar is now easier to access with one hand, especially if you have a larger iPhone like an iPhone 13 Pro Max. As well as being able to tap into the address bar, you can also now swipe left and right on the tab bar to quickly switch between tabs with a gesture.

However, if you really don’t like the new UI of Safari, you can make it look and work like iOS 14 again. Mostly. 

How to put the address bar back on top

To move the URL bar in iPhone Safari back to the top of the screen, it’s quite easy.

When browsing inside of Safari on iOS 15, tap the “Aa” button in the address bar. Then press the ‘Show Top Address Bar’ in the menu that appears. In Top Address Bar mode, Safari will look almost identical to how it looked on iOS 14. 

The new grid design of the Tabs view cannot be reverted however. If you want to go back to the new bottom address bar design, simply press the Aa button again and choose ‘Show Bottom Tab Bar’.

You can also change this layout setting from the Settings app. Navigate to Settings -> Safari -> Tabs -> select Single Tab.

How to disable color tinting 

One more subtle Safari design change is that iOS 15 will now tint the top toolbars of Safari to reflect the accent color of the website. For example, if you are viewing a website with a red background, the top toolbar of Safari will also inherit the red theme. This is more noticeable on iPad and Mac but it applies to iPhone too. Again, if you don’t like this effect, you can turn it off. 

Unlike reverting the Safari address bar design, the color tinting option can only be changed in Settings. Navigate to Settings -> Safari -> Tabs -> toggle Allow Website Tinting to off.

Safari: How to Get Search Bar Back to the Top & Disable Landscape Tab View

With iOS 15 Safari, the app has a whole new layout which brings many updates to the way you browse in the app. In Safari, the address bar is now located at the bottom of your iPhone screen, and in landscape orientation tabs will now appear in a list across the top. If you find these updates inconvenient and want to revert to the previous iOS 14 Safari layout, we'll show you how!

Move Address Bar to the Top of Safari

Remove the tab bar from safari landscape view.

Moving the search bar to the bottom of the screen has been one of the biggest changes to Safari in iOS 15. Luckily, if you don't like this change, you can switch it back! Safari now has two tab modes: Single Tab and Tab Bar. With Single Tab mode, your Apple address bar is displayed at the top of Safari and you must tap the tab icon to switch between tabs. With the Tab Bar mode, your URL address bar is displayed at the bottom, and you can swipe between open Safari tabs. Below, we'll cover how to get the URL bar back to the top of the page in Safari. 

How to Move Address Bar to the Top in Safari (Shortcut)

Perhaps you find yourself accidentally swiping between tabs or you find it disorienting to have the URL bar at the bottom of your screen. Whatever your reason, this is the fastest way to switch into Single Tab mode and move the search bar to the top of Safari while browsing. 

Now your Apple search bar will be displayed at the top of the screen. If you ever change your mind and want to revert back to the Tab Bar mode (being able to swipe between tabs is pretty handy!), follow the steps above and tap Show Bottom Tab Bar.

How to Place the Website Search Bar at the Top in Settings

This is a different method to adjust the same setting shown in the shortcut above. Below, we'll cover how to move your iPhone or iPad search bar to the top in Settings. 

The landscape tab bar in Safari displays open tabs across the top of your screen and allows you to tap and switch between them, much the same way you would on your laptop. This is a handy update, as it means you no longer have to tap the Tab icon to switch tabs while browsing in landscape view. However, if you feel the landscape tab bar is crowding your screen and cramping your style, you can disable this feature: 

That's all there is to it! Once you've adjusted these iOS 15 Safari settings, you'll be back to the previous browsing layout you know and love. You can also learn how to customize the Safari Start page to show the information you need.

Is there any way to move the Safari address bar to the bottom ( that's where my thumbs are) ?

Nope. You could try some of the other browsers in the app store, I bet one of them can do it.

If you moved it to the bottom, you wouldn't be able to see it once the keyboard popped up.

It took until iOS 4 to get customized backgrounds on the homescreen. Good luck getting Apple to let you customize Safari.  

... I just wish safari had a better tab system and also would allow the audio from a background tab to continue when you aren't on that tab anymore. Example if I put on a YouTube video and want to listen to the audio while visiting other pages in a new tab the video stops. On icab it continues but icab is so much slower than safari with the new JavaScript engine I can't even use it anymore  

Maybe this will be possible when jailbreak is available?

It's an interesting idea actually. Could app control bars be located at the bottom (and then simply get pushed up when keyboard is opened)? It might actually be better for usability. I do tend to find it a bit of a stretch to reach up there, whereas my thumbs tend to rest on the bottom more comfortably. Maybe Apple will change the iOS design guidelines one day — who knows!

You guys don't know what you're talking about. If you want to move the address bar to the bottom, then open safari, lock the screen, and rotate 180". Then the bar will be at the bottom.

macrumors newbie

That's really weird. I was just wondering if there was a way to put the bar at the bottom. Only for the nav functions. Yes in atomic browser in "three finger tap full screen mode" the nav buttons are on the bottom. I also looked to see if you could three finger swipe back and forth, but nope. You can use a two finger swipe to change tabs which is nice. If safari would just let you configure more things it would be ideal. I am using atomic because it let's you open tabs in the background. That's pretty much the only reason. (some of the other features were a welcomed addition too!)

How to Put Safari's Search Bar Back on Top in iOS 16

Annoyed that apple moved the address and search bar to the bottom of the screen in mobile safari without asking you first we show you how to put it back where it was in just a few steps..

Have you been stewing because Safari’s address bar seems to have disappeared from your new or upgraded iPhone with iOS 16 ? As you have probably already figured out by now, the address bar didn't go away completely. When Apple introduced iOS 15, it moved the address bar from the top of the window to the bottom. This is probably the most annoying thing about Apple’s default settings for Safari. Fortunately, it’s easy to move it back.

Before you move it, it's good to know that the bottom-positioned address bar has one possible advantage: It lets you scroll left and right between your open tabs. If you go back to the old top-of-window address bar, you'll need to tap the tabs icon at the lower right to open the page that displays thumbnail images of all your open tabs and tap on the one you want. That thumbnail view is an advantage, however, if you keep a lot of tabs open, as I do. It's easier to pick the tab you want when you can see the previews rather than scroll right and left in a mad hunt.

If you want to go back to the top-of-the-window address bar, Apple gives you two ways to do it, one in Safari and the other in the Settings app.

How to Move the Search Bar in iOS 16: Safari Method

The easiest method is to move the search bar from within Safari itself. 

• In the address bar at the foot of the screen, tap the AA icon at the left end. If you don't see it, swipe down to scroll up on the open web page, and it should appear.
• From the popup menu, tap Show Top Address Bar. The address bar moves instantly. 
• If you want to move the address bar back to the foot, tap the AA icon again, which is now at the top left, then select Show Bottom Address Bar.

How to Move the Search Bar in iOS 16: Settings Method

The less intuitive and more complex method is to go through the Settings app. 

• Open Settings and scroll down to Safari. 
• Then, in the Safari settings dialog, scroll down to Tabs
• You'll see two icons. Tap the one on the right called Single Tab to put the address bar back at the top of Safari. The icons helpfully show you where the address and search bar will appear, either on the bottom or top of the window.
• To move the address bar back to the bottom so you can swipe left and right to move through your tabs, select the Tab Bar icon on the left instead.

Nuisance Resolved

When Apple gets a new idea about one of its apps, it tends to make the new idea the default setting for that app—even if many users prefer Apple’s old ideas. Fortunately, Apple also makes it easy to go back to its tried-and-true ideas, so it’s easy to make Safari put its best face forward again.

How to move Safari’s address bar on iPhone back to the top, just like it used to be

Revert one of Apple’s most drastic changes to the Safari interface in iOS 15 — here’s how to move Safari’s address bar on iPhone back to the top, like it used to be!

Apple creates a mess with a major Safari redesign in iOS 15

The pretty radical Safari redesign in iOS 15 was met with pretty universal criticism. The updated interface isn’t very intuitive, to begin with, with tabs and several other controls consolidated into a new floating bar at the bottom, basically ruining years of muscle memory.

This tabs-at-the-bottom interface is turned on by default when you upgrade your iPhone to the latest iOS software. This is to say, some people could very easily get confused by this interface to the point where they might lose confidence in the Apple browser.

→ How to stop Safari from matching iOS status bar to website header color

Surprisingly enough, though, Apple does let you switch between the address bar at the top, where it belongs, and the bottom, which is how Apple would prefer you use the browser.

How to put Safari’s address bar back to the top on iPhone

You can easily toggle between the address bar at the top/bottom in the Safari preferences within the Settings app or on-the-fly, by choosing relevant options from Safari’s “aA” menu.

Method #1: Safari settings

Visit the Safari section within the Settings app to quickly toggle between iOS 15’s new floating address bar at the bottom and the address bar at the top, like before.

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
• Choose “Safari” from the root list.
• Choose the desired layout for Safari’s address bar underneath the “Tabs” heading.

The following layouts are available for your choosing here:

• Tab Bar: The new default, repositions the address bar to the bottom
• Single Tab: Choose this to get the old Safari interface back

And this is what the preferences for those Safari settings look like.

You can also switch between the top and bottom address bar without leaving Safari.

Method #2: aA menu

Apple in its wisdom has opted to add the same address bar toggle to Safari’s “aA” menu, letting you change your preferred URL bar layout without having to switch to the Settings app.

How to use Safari’s new address bar at the bottom

Choose the “Single Tab” setting to relocate Safari’s address bar from the top to the bottom.

It actually now floats, right above the section where your navigation controls and the Share, Bookmarks and Tabs buttons are located. The address bar controls are the same as before, from left to right: the “aA” button, the site URL and the Reload button. For reference, iOS 15 collectively refers to the address bar and navigation controls as “toolbar”. In iOS 14 and earlier, according to a support document on Apple’s website , this toolbar was known as “tab bar”.

Like before, you can touch and hold the “aA” button to quickly enter Safari’s Reader mode, where available. When touched once, the button pulls up a contextual menu with additional controls: Website Settings, Request Desktop Website, Downloads and so forth.

Touching the website address lets you enter a new URL to visit. Alternatively, enter search phrases here and press the Enter key to run the query through your default search engine.

Touching the Reload button cancels/reloads the current website—again, just like before.

Touching and holding the URL or the Reload button brings up yet another menu with the Copy, Paste and Search and Voice Search options, followed by relevant controls for tab groups if any.

When scrolling a webpage, the address bar automatically disappears. To bring it back up, start scrolling again. To manually hide the address bar and navigation controls — again, this is known as “toolbar” — choose the option labeled “Hide Toolbar” from the browser’s “aA” menu.

Hiding the toolbar is especially useful for those times when you’d like to browse your favorite websites in fullscreen mode. To make the toolbar reappear, simply touch the address bar.

There’s one distinct advantage to having a floating address bar at the bottom: quick tab selection. Swiping across it to one side or the other will instantly swoosh the next open tab into view. Folks with newer iPhones will feel right at home because swiping across the bottom horizontal line on Face ID-equipped iPhones cycles between open apps.

Like before, you can also hit that Tabs button for a bird’s eye overview of any open tabs.

And that’s pretty much everything you need to know about navigating the redesigned Safari interface in iOS 15 and switching between the top and bottom address bar on your iPhone.

Advice: Do give the bottom address bar a try

If you’ve closely followed iOS 15 development by living on betas, your opinion on the bottom address bar in Safari is already formed and not very flattering, we suppose. Nevertheless, we’d still like to recommend giving it another try and see if you find it useful for specific scenarios.

I surf the web on my iPhone as much as anyone else. When I’m on the go, I want to use the phone with one hand so I can eat, drive or whatever using the other. This is the situation that warrants having Safari’s URL bar at the bottom — at least this is what has worked for me so far.

What the bottom address bar also enables me is get to Safari’s Reader settings and other contextual options in the “aA” menu without having to invoke Apple’s Reachability feature. But perhaps more important than that, this layout allows me to easily cycle through open tabs just by swiping across the bottom address bar, saving me lots of time.

Maybe you’re someone who’s struggling to find their way around in Safari having just upgraded to iOS 12. Or perhaps you’re new to Safari or iPhone. In that case, we sincerely hope you’ll find this tutorial useful and we’d appreciate it if you shared it with your friends and support folks.

iOS 15: How to put the Safari address bar back to the top on your iPhone

Read in other languages:

On iOS 15, Apple has moved the address bar of its Safari app to the bottom of the screen of its iPhone and iPad. If you don't like this new design, you can easily put the address bar of your Safari browser back at the top of your iPhone screen.

The idea behind this choice by Apple is to make Safari's interface more ergonomic on iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 . The search bar has been lowered so you don't have to stretch your finger to reach the top of the screen. But after years of getting used to having the address bar at the top, this turnaround may be counterintuitive for some.

• Check out our selection of the best iPhones to choose in 2022 to use Safari with the bar up or down

So, to put the Safari application address bar back to the top of your iPhone screen, you need to:

• Go to Settings .
• Press  Safari .
• Among the two options - Tab bar or Single tab - choose  Single tab .

In any case, you can switch between the new and old systems as you like. And if you change your mind, want to switch back to the address bar at the top, you can make this change in a faster way, directly in Safari and without going through Settings:

• In the Safari  application.
• Press the aA button on the left of the address bar.
• In the contextual menu, press Show Top Adress Bar .

That's it for this quick tutorial to put the Safari app's address bar back to the top of the screen on your iPhone. Did you find it helpful? Do you want us to do more iOS 15 tutorials? Top or bottom search bar, which is more ergonomic for you?

iOS 17: How to Move Safari Address Bar on iPhone Explained

Moving the Safari address bar on your iPhone with iOS 17 is a simple process. Just head to your Settings, tap Safari, and under the ‘Tabs’ section, select ‘Single Tab’ to move the address bar to the top, or ‘Tab Bar’ to keep it at the bottom. Easy-peasy, right?

After you complete the action, the Safari address bar will be displayed in your preferred location, either at the top or bottom of the screen, depending on your selection. This small change can significantly impact how you interact with your browser and navigate the web on your iPhone.

You can also watch this video about how to move Safari address bar on iPhone for more on this topic.

An Introduction to Safari Address Bar Customization

Ever since Apple introduced the option to customize the placement of the Safari address bar in iOS 15, users have had mixed feelings. Some love the new, more reachable bottom address bar, while others yearn for the traditional top placement. Fast forward to iOS 17, and the debate continues. But here’s the good news: Apple has given you the power to choose. With a few taps, you can customize your browsing experience to suit your preference. But why is this such a big deal?

Well, it’s all about usability and comfort. The placement of the address bar can affect how easily you can navigate your phone, especially with one hand. And let’s face it, in the age of large-screen smartphones, convenience is king. Whether you’re a devoted Apple user or just someone trying to navigate your iPhone more efficiently, this feature is designed to enhance your overall user experience. So, let’s dive into the steps and explore the pros and cons of this nifty feature.

Step by Step Tutorial to Move Safari Address Bar on iPhone

First, let’s go over what we’ll accomplish in the following steps. We’ll be tweaking a setting in the Safari section of your iPhone’s settings. This will allow you to move the address bar from its default bottom position to the top of the screen.

Step 1: Open Settings

• Open the ‘Settings’ app on your iPhone.

When you open Settings, you’ll find a list of options to customize various aspects of your iPhone. For our purpose, you’ll need to scroll down to find ‘Safari’, nestled among other default apps.

Step 2: Tap Safari

Scroll down and tap on ‘Safari’ to open the browser’s settings.

In the Safari settings, you’ll see a variety of options that allow you to tweak your browsing experience. Look for the section named ‘Tabs’.

Step 3: Choose Your Preferred Option

• Under ‘Tabs’, select ‘Single Tab’ to move the address bar to the top, or ‘Tab Bar’ to keep it at the bottom.

The ‘Single Tab’ option will give you the traditional look with the address bar at the top, similar to how it is on a desktop browser. The ‘Tab Bar’ option will maintain the new design introduced in iOS 15, with the address bar at the bottom of the screen.

Additional Information

While the steps above are pretty straightforward, there are a few additional things you might want to consider. For instance, if you’re someone who frequently switches between different iOS devices, like an iPad and an iPhone, you may want to keep the address bar placement consistent across devices for a seamless transition. Also, remember that the placement of the address bar can affect how you interact with the rest of the Safari interface.

For example, if the address bar is at the bottom, it’s easier to swipe between tabs with your thumb. That’s something to consider if you’re an avid tab swiper. It’s also worth noting that the iOS 17 update might bring along other interface changes, so keep an eye out for those when you’re customizing your Safari settings. Lastly, don’t be afraid to experiment with both options for a week or so to really figure out which placement you prefer. And hey, you might even discover a new, more efficient way to browse!

• Scroll down and tap on ‘Safari’.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing the address bar position affect other apps.

No, this change only affects Safari and not any other apps on your iPhone.

Can I move the address bar to the sides?

No, the address bar can only be moved to the top or bottom of the screen.

Will this setting sync across my Apple devices?

No, this setting is specific to each device. You’ll need to set your preference on each device individually.

Is there a shortcut to switch between the top and bottom address bar?

No, you have to go into Settings each time you want to switch the address bar position.

If I update to iOS 17, will my address bar move automatically?

No, the address bar will stay in its current position unless you manually change it in the settings.

With iOS 17, the ability to move the Safari address bar is a subtle yet impactful customization feature. Whether you prefer the traditional top placement or the newer bottom placement, the choice is yours, and it’s all about making your browsing experience as comfortable and efficient as possible.

So go ahead and give it a try—you might just find a new preferred way to surf the web on your iPhone. Remember, the key is to find what works best for you and enjoy the ride on the information superhighway.

Edge for ios lets you move address bar to bottom, just like safari.

The wait is finally over as Microsoft has made one of the most requested changes in Edge for iOS. Users have been requesting Microsoft to move the address bar of Edge for iOS to the bottom of the screen, similar to what you have on Safari. The company has finally updated Edge with this feature, i.e., you can move the address bar to the bottom of the screen on Edge for iOS .

With this new placement of the address bar, it will become easier for you to use your iOS device with one hand. This is especially the case with iPads and iPhone Pro models that have large screens, requiring you to stretch your fingers to access the address bar.

How to move the address bar to bottom on Edge for iOS devices

Microsoft is gradually rolling out this feature through updates. Therefore, the best way to access this feature is by updating Microsoft Edge and hoping that the update includes this feature.

However, if the update does not include this feature, then you can forcibly enable it through the Edge Flags page. To do this, open Microsoft Edge on your iOS device, type edge://flags in the address bar, and press Return.

In the Flags window, type Enable bottom Omnibox in the search field. Then, choose Enabled from the flag drop-down menu.

After that, restart Microsoft Edge, tap the hamburger icon in the bottom-right corner and choose Settings .

In the Settings page, choose General .

Select Address Bar .

Choose Bottom and then tap Done .

And that’s about it. You will see that the address bar has been moved to the bottom of the screen.

This feature is currently exclusively available for Edge iOS version, and there’s no update on when Microsoft will roll it out for Android. Anyways, do you prefer your browser address bar at the bottom or the top of the screen? Share your thoughts in the comments.
