How to Open New Safari Tabs in Background on iPhone

By: Salman Patwegar

You can prevent iPhone Safari browser from saving multiple website tabs from your previous browsing history by setting up Safari browser to open New Safari Tabs in background.

When you open any link while browsing on iPhone Safari browser, the linked webpage opens in a New Browser Tab and the Safari browser automatically switches to this New Tab.

In comparison, when you open a link in Google Chrome browser, the link always opens in the background, which allows you to remain on the same webpage that you are currently browsing.

If you like this setup, you can make the default Safari browser on your iPhone to always open new tabs in background (just like in Google Chrome).
