Safari has seen numerous updates, and one of the most notable features in macOS and iPadOS 27 is the ability to use vertical tabs. This feature allows for a more organized browsing experience, especially for users who often work with multiple tabs. Here’s how you can enable vertical tabs and optimize your Safari workflow.
Why Use Vertical Tabs?
Vertical tabs provide a clear view of your open pages, making it easier to manage multiple tabs without clutter. Instead of a crowded horizontal tab bar, you can view your tabs in a list format, allowing for swift navigation through your current sessions.
Enabling Vertical Tabs in Safari
- Open Safari on your Mac or iPad.
- Click on ‘View’ in the menu bar.
- Select ‘Show Vertical Tabs’ from the dropdown menu.
- Your tabs will now appear in a vertical column on the left side of your browser window.
Adjusting Tab Settings
To maximize your vertical tab setup, you can adjust settings such as tab grouping to keep related tabs together, improving your workflow. You can find these options under the ‘Tabs’ section in Safari Preferences.
Using Vertical Tabs on iPad
The process is similar on the iPad. Ensure you are using the latest version of iPadOS 27. Access the tab view by swiping left or right, and you can choose to switch to vertical tabs in the same manner as described for the Mac.
