How to customize your start page in Safari on iPhone and iPad

In iOS 15, you can now customize your start page in Safari.

Apple has enabled users to customize their start page in Safari since macOS Big Sur. Despite the fact that this feature was introduced last year, it did not make it to the greatest iPhone or iPad. However, following the release of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 at WWDC, it appears that this capability will now be available on smaller screens as well.

You can choose a background image to use as well as new sections to display on the start page when you personalize the start page. Your Favorites, Siri Suggestions, Reading List, Privacy Report, and other features are included in this section. You can definitely make Safari on iPhone and iPad feel more like your own with the correct changes.

This’s the way to customize your start page in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas. While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. That’s why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and using the public betas with caution. If you depend on your devices, wait for the final release.

How to choose sections for your start page in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open Safari.

2. If you’re already on an existing page, hit the Tabs button to open a new tab.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the start page and choose Edit.

4. Make sure the toggle for Use Start Page on All Devices is set to ON if you want to use the same start page customization across all of your iPhones, iPads, and Macs (green). This ensures that the appearance and settings of your start page are synchronised via iCloud.

5. Favorites, Frequently Visited, Shared With You, Privacy Report, Siri Suggestions, Reading List, and iCloud Tabs are among the sections. Turn ON the toggles for the areas you’d want to display (green).

6. If you wish to change the order in which these sections display, simply drag-and-drop the handle into the desired position.
