Safari search bar missing after updating to iOS 17.4 on iPhone Hello, After I updated my phone to iOS 17.4 today the search bar went missing🙀 I can’t use Safari anymore, although I’ve been using it forever, and I’m so used it, and I even have like 60 tabs opened there, but can’t open a new one, or go to a new one in any of them, because the search bar went just missing after the new software update!!🙀🤯 And not just for me, my friend is facing the same issue after the update🙀🙀 [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Move search bar in Safari on iPad iOS 18 I would like to move the position of the search bar on my iPad with iOS 18. I’ve looked through Settings in the Safari app and through the Settings app and cannot find any options to do this. Is this possible or did this feature get removed?

Settings -> Safari -> TABS -> Toggle the selection from "Single Tab" to "Tab Bar".

This change will instantly take effect.
