Hard to close tabs in iOS 18

Has anyone else had issues with the tabs in iOS 18 being harder to close, it feels like the the area where you can actually click the x has become more precise, this has lead to me pressing on a tab rather than closing it a significant number of times.

New tabs keep opening while opening a tab in Safari on my iPhone. It also opens a tab on my iPad. as soon as I close the tab on my iPhone, it closes the tab on the iPad I don’t recall changing any settings. Everything is up-to-date, software, wise.

ipad tabs small and overlapping On my iPad when I touch the bars of the tab they get smaller and are shown overlapping. I cannot separate the small tab bars and have to close all tabs and start from fresh. Why is this happening and how can I prevent this and how can I separate the small overlapping tab bars?

Safari tabs close too easily when I’m not even swiping With the newest iPhone update, for some reason, my safari tabs are so much more sensitive to closing. Whenever I am just scrolling through my open tabs page, the slightest motion causes tabs to randomly close. It’s very frustrating because it’s never done this before. I know swiping is supposed to close the tabs, but it’s highly sensitive now unlike before and closes so easily when I’m not trying to close them. Any way to turn off the “swipe to close tabs” in safari, or suggestions to fix this? Thank you!

Exactly! And it takes several tries to swipe close tabs on 16pm. Not the case on 13pm, not sure if it’s hardware issue or software issue….
