How to personalize your Safari start page on your iPhone
The start page is the first screen you see when you launch Safari or open a new empty tab. Here you’ll see bookmarked sites, frequently visited websites, privacy reports, reading list items, Siri-suggested sites, tabs open on other Apple devices, and more.
You can keep things organized or leave more useful options and sections here. For example, I don’t like the privacy reports and reading lists on Safari’s start page, so I don’t keep them. Your taste may be different.
Here’s how to enable or disable a section from the Safari start page:
- Open Safari Stay on the start page.
If an existing web page is open, press the tab icon, New tab.. - Scroll down and tap Edit..
- To Customize the start page, Switch off unnecessary options.
- You can also touch to rearrange the order 3-line icon Drag up or down.
If you change your mind, follow the same steps to remove or add sections.
