Apple adds the option to switch between new and old Safari design with iOS 15 beta 6
Apple has rolled out its sixth developer beta of iOS 15, fixing bugs and making refinements to the software ahead of its public launch in the fall.
One of Apple’s most notable changes with iOS 15 was the redesign to the Safari UI, which features a compact floating tab/address bar at the bottom of the screen that allows users to swipe between tabs and have fewer interruptions when viewing content.
Despite Apple’s best efforts, the redesign has been met with heavy criticism from users, with many preferring the previous Safari user interface and the familiarly located address bar at the top of the screen.
Following several tweaks since the release of the first iOS 15 beta, Apple has today introduced a new toggle with iOS 15 beta 6 that gives users the option to switch between the old and new Safari design in Settings.

“The bottom tab bar has been redesigned to appear below page content,” Apple’s release notes states. “An option to show the address bar at the top is also available.”
iOS 15 was announced at the beginning of June, bringing several major enhancements, including FaceTime upgrades, a new Focus feature, enhanced on-device intelligence, iMessage, Maps, Weather, and Wallet, updates, and more.
