As you casually flick through your iPhone, it's easy to become inundated with a plethora of open tabs.

Fortunately, both Safari and Chrome present a swift solution. With just a handful of taps, you can swiftly bid farewell to all your tabs and start afresh.
This guide will show you exactly how to close all tabs without hassle on your iPhone.
How to close all of Safari's tabs on iPhone
Safari is the primary browser on iPhones, and it offers solid security measures by utilizing Google's Safe Browsing database. Alongside its safety features, Safari also has default settings that block questionable websites and irritating pop-ups.

- When in Safari, tap and hold the Tab button.
- In there, select Close All Tabs.
- Following that, confirm it by tapping on Close All Tabs again.

- Go to Settings.
- Scroll down and select Safari.
- Scroll down there and choose the option Close Tabs.
