The best tricks to get the most out of Safari on iOS (1/2)

safari ios

It is always good to learn more about the shortcuts and facilities that each of the native iOS applications can offer us. We must mention that Safari is the most used web browser on iPhone and iPad for obvious reasons, therefore, we are going to focus on its tricks as the premise to develop this content. So, This Sunday afternoon we bring you the best tricks to get the most out of Safari on iOS. You will know many of them, many others you will not, therefore, it will allow you to get more out of it and navigate more comfortably on your device. Come in, don't miss our tricks and collaborate with your own.

Load desktop version - Load without blockers

Often times the mobile version of certain web pages have fewer features, or are literally catastrophic to use, which is why we prefer the full version. To do this, we will have to press on the refresh button in Safari for a long time, about two or three seconds. It will then provide us with a contextual menu. This menu will contain two possibilities, that of loading the desktop website, or that of loading the website without a blocker.s of content (if we have them installed). Thus, from time to time you can save yourself from going to your computer to perform the tasks you want on mobile web pages with little content.

Recently closed eyelashes

This function will allow us to reload those tabs that we have closed by mistake without realizing it, or we simply want to go back in a navigation. To do this, we will open the Safari multi-window with the lower right button, then we will leave the finger pressed on the symbol «+»That appears just below the center. A new tab will appear called «closed recently»And in which we can see those tabs that we closed a few minutes ago.

Find text on a page

Often we enter a page that appears for example a tutorial, but we are looking for a specific content and we do not want to read absolutely all the words of the text. Easy, click on the address bar and write the word that we are going to search, without fear. Among the results we will get websites and Google searches, but at the bottom, the function will appear «On this page (x results)». This would be the safari search engine for iOS, something like what we get in Safari for macOS when we press the shortcut "cmd + F" on a web page. Fantastic right?

Add to reading list to watch later offline

We as editors, some more and others less, but at least I personally use this function a lot. When browsing the net I find some content that I really like and I think it is important to share it with you, I add it to the "reading list". This function in Safari allows us to store certain websites so that we can later read them completely offline. How do you do it? Easy, among the buttons below we have the one to share, which, as you well know, also works for extensions. Well, pressing that button opens the usual contextual menu, and among the functions below (those of the extensions) we have one that says "Add to the reading list ». If later we want to access that reading list, by clicking on the history (the button with a book at the bottom), the reading list is the middle menu represented with glasses (like Steve Jobs by the way).

Use reader view

When we browse a website with a lot of written content but which is also full of buttons and other types of extra functions, it is good to use the reading view. On many websites, an icon represented by 4 straight lines will appear right next to the address bar. When pressed, the web page will be converted to reading mode, this mode will allow us to modify the aspects of the web page, the text and the contents as if it were an iBooks book, it is fantastic when it comes to browsing archaic webs or by far contents.

    Good evening: in the section "Add to the reading list to see it later offline" I have done a test with this article and it tells me that "safari cannot open the page because it is not available for offline reading"; I have searched the Internet and I read that this happens if there are articles that are not plain text, or that have Scripts or internal codes that prohibit their capture, I will not be able to see them offline. Is that true?

    Thank you

    It seems more practical for the option to search the web page for a certain phrase, click on the square with the arrow and look for the option that says "search on the page"

    I don't know ... It's my opinion

    Hello!! Very interesting, but it would be good to add the option to auto-complete passwords in safari, it is very practical since with this option activated you only put the passwords once, in pages that you need to log in, you give it to save passwords and when you have to re-enter You no longer have to go back to that page when entering username and passwords, because Safari already takes care of auto-complete, for me it is very practical, I always use this option.

    Greetings.

    Jordy has already said one of the things I'm going to say, but Load Desktop Version - Load Without Blockers like Find text on a page are also in the arrow square and in a way that I think is more accessible.
