Im not trying to be difficult, but i was trying to figure out how to close all open tabs in ios browser in portrait orientation w tab bar at bottom (landscape only). I found this https://github.com/brave/brave-ios/issues/2567
Which was of no help to me, as my screen / tab tray (ok, what exactly is the tray part?) / icons do not look like that and there are only options for “private”, “+” and “done.” No close all tabs or close tab drop down menu from ling pressing anywhere, and no trash can icon anywhere. What am i missing? If im not missing anything bc this feature was removed, please re-implement it for my sanity bc pressing the x individually on my phone screen does not often succeed in anything other than opening the tab ( i have excellent eye-hand coordination + lady-sized digits).

Thanks for any help / response you can offer

@emerjensea,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
To close all tabs on iOS, look for the square icon that lists the number of open tabs, as shown below:

Long press on that icon to reveal a drop down menu, with the Close all tabs option:

THANK YOU! Duh, now I am embarrassed that i could not figure it out. Ok, well, actually, i know why: the currently open tab screen does not reveal the other open tabs unless in landscape orientation, which i basically never use w browser, so i would have to open the “open tabs” screen to decide which if any I wanted to close. My need for a close all tabs button is 100% driven by the sight of (usually an unexpectedly) large
number of open tabs or those that are particularly sensitive, etc. In other words, I don’t know i need to perform the action until I get to the open tabs screen (the non-long-press of tab tray button). That is where I incorrectly assumed such an option would surely be found. Can that be submitted as a feature request, please? The way it is now is 1) not intuitive and 2) not much more efficient than pressing all those x’s (and then closing the webpage + pressing x again :repeat:•:infinity: bc the close was not triggered due to a nm of error in my pressure aim).
Thanks again :slight_smile:
