How to Hide the Toolbar in Safari for iOS
The Website View menu includes one-tap settings that let you change text size options , request the desktop version of a website , and more. Here we're going to check out the new Hide Toolbar option.
In earlier versions of iOS, Safari hides the top and bottom toolbars when scrolling down a web page, and to view them again you have to tap the URL or swipe down on the page.
In iOS 13 though, you can get Safari to hide the toolbar completely when navigating a website, which makes for a less disruptive experience.
Simply select Hide Toolbar from the dropdown menu, and the toolbar will shrink to show just the URL. This more slimline arrangement will remain while you navigate the website, but you can re-instate the toolbar anytime by tapping the mini URL bar at the top of the screen.

Hide the Address Bar within Mobile Web Applications
With both iOS and Android-driven devices using WebKit as their browser's rendering engine, web developers have many advantages:
- A rendering engine with capable of flawless CSS animations
- A rendering engine that's fast... very fast
- A rendering engine that's modern and forward-thinking
These advantages allow us to create web apps within that browser that look as good as native applications. If your goal is to create web apps that look like native applications, the details count. One of those details: hiding the address bar. Native applications don't have address bars so why should your app? As an added bonus, hiding the address bar will provide you an extra 60 pixels of space!
You may think hiding the address bar within the mobile browser is difficult but you'd be surprised how simple it is. All you need is a touch of JavaScript!
The JavaScript
The window.scrollTo method is the key to hiding the address bar. The wrapping setTimeout function is required by the iPhone to properly hide the address bar -- not using setTimeout will cause problems.
Bonus: META Tag for Bookmarked Sites
If a user has added your web application to their springboard, the following meta tag can remove the top bar from the browser:
And that's all! The address bar is hidden until the user swipes down near the top bar of the application. With the address bar hidden, your web app can look just like a native app!

This is a brilliant little script, makes the website look much better, just tried it on a clients site I am doing for them on our testing server and looks brilliant. http://vivimed.planet-group.co.uk
Couldn’t get the meta tag version to work….
Would I be right in thinking this will also work on iPad aswell???
Save the web page as a web clip then open it from the springboard.
Yes, it should work well.
That’s just plain cool. Javascript FTW. Thanks for the tip!
Hi there!! I am trying the code in the mobile version of my company. I can´t make it work. Do you know what the problem is? Thank you!
Doesn’t seem to be working. have tried all the above steps… Did the new iOS update change things?
I have the the script version working a treat and works well on a clients website: http://www.vivimedlabs.com I inserted it after my “domready” request on its own line like this..
This way I stopped it from generating errors.
P.s I did wrap my code in “ ” tags but seems to of come up a bit strange.?
This maybe a bit better to make sure its the Safari Browser you scrolling on, on either platform
This works for me but if anyone can better the IF statement please fire away
This maybe a bit better to make sure its the Safari Browser you are scrolling on, on either Mobile Platfrom
**Mod please delete the 3 above previous post**
I just confirmed that it is indeed working in latest iOS. I think the problem people are having is probably that their page isn’t tall enough. If your page is too short to scroll up, the scroll script won’t work.
This breaks for me on orientation change – at least in Android’s Browser.
Could you call the function again on orientation change?
This seems to work great on the iPhone but not on the iPad. Anyone get this to work on an iPad?
I’d like to find out how this also works on the iPad. Any suggestions or answers? Thx.
I never really resolved my issue with this, it didn’t end up being a huge deal for what I needed it for so I just consolidated to allow the extra space at the top of my layout.
Nice work, man. You should probably mention that the page has to be long enough to fill the screen (sans-address-bar), otherwise it will not scroll the address bar out of the way. I think that should answer a lot of people’s problems on here…
I have one question, though… once you’ve loaded the page and hidden the address bar, the user can still open it up again. I’ve been trying all sorts of things trying to figure out a way of re-hiding it when the user taps back onto the page, but can’t find a method that works properly… Any ideas?
Exactly, your screen needs to be long enough for the address-bar to disappear. But now I want to have a height of 100% and still make the address-bar disappear, any tried this? and succeeded? height 100% just takes the available height of the page minus the space for the address-bar…
@Thomas Giles
This is just a quick tip, but have you tried the onFocus event?
Very cool script… Really like that functionality…BUT,
I have installed th same on my site and have it working great, but notice just as in yours mike, that when you view and launch the web app from home screen it hides browser, but the first link you hit on page it opens the new page in a browser, like a hyperlink off an app.
I am looking to have the entire site and any of the htm pages in the same directory and any subdirectories open in the web app mode ie. without the browser.
Suggestions? Does anyone else have this working?
Forgive me for being new to this. I’m would like to get this to work on my mobile site, but the attempts I have made have failed. I’m thinking I’m placing the code in the wrong js file. Is there a specific one I should place it in?
If it’s of any help, the website I’m creating is a wordpress site.
@RANDY CALCATERRA This is what I’ve been using to keep my links from opening anew in mobile Safari.
This targets all of my a tags and returns false when clicked, so that they don’t open the way they want to. So instead of opening the link in the browser, I reset the location of the window to the href that I pulled off the clicked a tag.
I use delegate, because I sometimes create links dynamically, and .click() only binds the click event to elements that are in the document at the time the code runs.
This was a helpful article if you’re interested in the differences between .bind() , .live() , .delegate() , and .on() : http://www.elijahmanor.com/2012/02/differences-between-jquery-bind-vs-live.html
Hope that’s helpful.
I am so sorry to have posted so much. I was trying to figure out how to get it formatted correctly. That last post is the closest to what I wanted…
I tried this code on my mobile games pages, which are longer than 960pixels, but it never works. I guess there are some other requirements for this method to work.
Really?.. are we really that lazy?.. we really can’t scroll down a few pixels by hand? :|… it’s a website.. it should look like one… i want to see the address up there.. want to know where I am.. I love apple’s way of being (just works.. ) but most of you’ve just turned it into a couch-potato-do-everything-for-me thing… thanks for the comment nonetheless.. any bit of info is always appreciated… (but still)
Perfect, thank you very much! Works great on my iPhone layout :)
It seems it only works, when you add a ‘#’ sign in the very end of your urladdress
Hero! Thanks!
Seems like this is obsolete code now as in I get full screen by default when loading jquery mobile.
What if you’re not using jQuery mobile?
Well, this is not enough. Hiding the address bar is one thing, but one of the biggest remaining problem is for one-div views (imagine a map-based app). You have to define the exact size of the height of your browser, without address bar. This is not as easy as the one listed here. Would be interested to have your point of you on this. Stackoverflow has a discussion on this : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4068559/removing-address-bar-from-browser-to-view-on-android
But none of the listed solutions work correctly on all browsers (i tested chrome, iphone, ipad).
This now works in the latest version of Chrome for iOS too!
Thank You David, works perfectly
Great script but I have an issue. For example, I have a banner that a user clicks on and is redirected to my page that has the above script. When the page first loads the header bar doesn’t hide, but if i refresh the page the address bar does hide. im testing on a iphone 4 ios6. any help would be much appreciated.
Doesn’t work if app is as high as the browser window :-/
Right, the page use to have to be 1500 pixels tall, now it looks like it has to be 1800 pixels tall. (I can’t get any of this to work on iPads though)
It is doesn’t work for me. Address bar remains the same …
Works great for me thank you for enlighting
It doesn’t work on ipad!
Why I am getting error like: Browser is not defined
I am adding script like:
Please help me asap.
Why doesn’t this work?
Feb 13, 2016 —- Hi. I have latest iOS. this technique doesn’t work. You can scrollTo 100 and it won’t remove the address bar without scrolling manually. I have not found a solution.
This works, but only for the first page. If you bookmark the homepage to front screen then open it, it will remove the address bar on the first page but once you click to another page inside the site it opens it back into safari with the address bar.
Is there anyway to keep the entire site’s pages without the address bar?
Not working anymore?
This no longer works on an iPhone running latest version of IOS 10
doesn’t fire on sharepoint, if you have another solution, please share.
Thanks in advance
The solutions offered don’t work (not in Chrome, not in Firefox; not in iOS, not in Android.) Now obsolete and a total waste of time.
May 2020, Hi, the solution proposed here seems to be obsolete for a couple of years now. Has anyone found a working solution? Thanks

How To : Keep Safari's Toolbars Hidden While Scrolling Webpages in iOS 13
Normally, when you scroll down a webpage in Safari on your iPhone, it automatically hides the bottom toolbar and minimizes the top Smart Search field. But as soon as you scroll back up, they both reappear, which can be pretty annoying if you don't need them. Apple's iOS 13 update brings many new features to Safari , one of which solves the toolbar issue so you can keep it hidden when reading.
When you lock the top and bottom toolbars in their minimized and hidden positions, it applies to the current tab you're in as well as any tabs you navigate to from it. But there are exceptions to that rule, as you'll soon see, which relates to how you disable the hiding of the toolbars.
- Don't Miss: 200+ Exciting New Features in iOS 13 for Your iPhone
To hide the top and bottom toolbars in Safari, tap on the "AA" in the top left to open the Website View menu. Next, select "Hide Toolbar" from the menu, and the top Smart Search bar slims down to show the URL only, as if you were scrolling down, while the bottom toolbar disappears.
Here they are compared, auto-hide vs. hidden locked:
If you scroll up or tap anywhere within the website (images, interactive menus, links, etc.), the toolbars will remain minimized. By tapping on hyperlinks, you could successfully navigate a never-ending supply of webpages without the toolbars coming back. So it locks them for the whole session in that tab until you say otherwise.
Even better, if a link opens in a new tab, and even if you open a link in the background and navigate it via the tab switcher (which opens temporarily to let you do that), you will continue to see the toolbars hidden in the other tabs. The only time they will go back to normal is if you tap the minimize Smart Search toolbar up top. Doing so clears the lock, and the top and bottom toolbars will hide and unhide automatically as they always have.
If you want to go to another website in another tab, tap on the minimized bar at the top to bring back both the larger Smart Search field and the bottom toolbar. However, you'll have to hide the toolbars all over again anytime you maximize them manually by tapping the top minimize toolbar.
Also, worth noting is that there's no way to lock either toolbar in place when they are maximized, so you'll still get that auto-minimize/hide when scrolling on pages. But rarely would you want less screen real estate for reading than more, so having only the minimize/hide lock makes total sense.

How do I hide the navigation bar on safari, chrome, and firefox

In El Capitan (10.11), the menu item of interest is the first in the View menu: “Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen.”
Uncheck this menu item and the entire screen will be devoted to the web content until the arrow is brought to the top of the screen.

Using Full Screen Mode will maximize usable screen real estate. On Safari, click on the Green "traffic light" button.
May 27, 2015 11:28 AM in response to Rysz
Rysz, Thank you for your answer. However, in full screen mode the Address and URL bar are still visible. I had them set to only show when I put the pointer to the to of the screen. Now I wont "hide"
May 27, 2015 11:44 AM in response to DeWight24
I believe that the only way to get any of the three browsers to behave the way you would like is via an extension.
May 29, 2015 4:07 AM in response to OldGnome
Old Gnome, I am not computer literate enough to do extensions. I am thinking I will have to wait for the next OS soft wear upgrade and hope they have added the option.
Feeling defeated.😕

In Safari, in the View menu, try "Hide Toolbar".

CT, I have already done that. All it hides it the Apple tool bar that has the File, Edit, History, ETC...
The address toolbar and the tabs bar still show.
Thanks for trying to help me.
May 29, 2015 9:26 AM in response to DeWight24
For that to happen, you are not doing what I said. But, anyway, experiment with the Safari View menu to see what is possible.

If you're in the Apple ecosystem, you can also view Safari tabs across your Apple devices with ease. Plus, the app has some other solid advantages over other browsers like Google Chrome, such as more efficient performance, better privacy, and a host of tools for interacting with online photos.
And that's just the beginning. There's more to Safari that meets the eye. You'll be surprised that this simple native app can actually be a productivity powerhouse and help you accomplish much more with its often overlooked features. If you're looking to make the most out of Safari on your iPhone, here are six of its functionalities you should consider using.
Focus better on the content with Reader
Other than doom-scrolling on social media, you may spend a lot of time reading online blogs and articles on your iPhone too. Maybe you're doing research on Spanish colonization for your college essay. Or perhaps you just want to know the best spots in Japan to go to before you book your flight. But while it is quite convenient to be able to read on your phone, the interface isn't always the most reader-friendly. Some web pages have annoying navigation menus that stay fixed to the screen even as you scroll down. Others have empty spaces that break up your reading flow. Fortunately, Safari comes with a feature that makes reading on your handset a lot easier on the eyes.
The Reader tool converts a supported web page into a more readable format without the distracting menus, empty spaces, and extraneous images. What it only shows on the screen are the text and photos relevant to the content you're consuming. To make the interface even more visually appealing, Reader allows you to change the background color of the page, switch to a different font style, and increase or decrease the font size. There's an option to automatically enable Reader mode for all the web pages from that specific site as well. If you're on iOS 18, Reader also includes a highlights section containing a summary, table of contents, and other handy information extracted from the web page. Here's how you can turn on Reader on your iPhone's Safari:
- In Safari, open the web page you want to read.
- Tap on the Page Settings icon (a rectangle with two lines underneath) located to the left of the URL at the bottom of the screen.
- Select "Show Reader."
- To customize the interface, press the Reader icon.
You can now start scrolling through the page without all the unnecessary distractions.
No more manually closing unused and forgotten tabs with the Close Tabs feature
Admit it — you don't have just one tab open in Safari at this very moment. You probably have at least five, maybe even more. As you scroll through your long list of Safari tabs, you'll realize you don't even need them anymore. Most of them were just random, one-time searches, like that dictionary tab where you checked the meaning of inimical (it's hostile, by the way) or the one where you read the news about the cute therapy dog at your local hospice. More often than not, you just exit Safari after getting the information you need and don't even bother closing the tab. That's why the next time you open the app, you're greeted with multiple unused tabs that have been sitting in your browser untouched for weeks. They're not only an eyesore but can also potentially slow down your browser.
If you want to declutter your browser tabs without putting in a lot of effort, Safari can automatically close the tabs for you . You can choose to close all the tabs after you don't view them for a day, a week, or a month. This way, you won't have to worry about manually closing the tabs you use for one-time searches. Follow these steps to enable this feature:
- Launch the Settings app.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
- Tap on "Apps."
- Select "Safari."
- Under Tabs, choose "Close Tabs."
- Pick the period you want to use (After One Day, After One Week, or After One Month).
- Exit Settings.
After doing so, Safari will start automatically closing any active tabs you haven't opened in the period you chose.
Group your tabs and share them
Whenever you're working on a research paper or group project that involves a lot of online reading, you'll typically end up sharing a bunch of links through messaging apps. One teammate will send an article for everyone to read, then someone else sends a different blog, and before you know it, your conversation thread is filled with nothing but links. Safari for iPhone offers a much more ideal way to collaborate — using its Tab Groups and collaboration features.
Tab Groups are exactly that — they're groups where you can add individual tabs to keep them organized. You can create these Tab Groups for your personal use, or you can share them with others. When you share a Tab Group, your collaborators can see all the tabs you've added and even add or remove tabs themselves. You'll be notified in Messages regarding any changes made to the Tab Group. It's important to note, though, that you can't add just anyone to a Tab Group. They need an Apple Account with two-factor authentication enabled and have Safari synced with their iCloud. To create a Tab Group and share it with others, here's the quick guide:
- In Safari, visit the web page you want to add to a Tab Group.
- Tap the Page Settings icon > More (three dots).
- Under Tab Actions, select "Move to Tab Group."
- Press "New Tab Group."
- Enter a name for the group.
- Hit "Move."
- Repeat the same process for your other tabs.
- To view the created Tab Group, tap on the tab icons at the bottom-right of the screen.
- To share the Tab Group, press Share > Messages, enter a contact, and press the send icon.
Your contact will then receive a link to the Tab Group. Once they tap on it, they'll be prompted to open the group in Safari, and doing so automatically adds them to the group.
Write your thoughts on the web page itself
Every time you're reading on Safari and need to jot down your thoughts or extract some information from the online article, you usually have a separate note-taking app like Apple Notes, Bear, or Notion open on your iPhone. But using both your browser and notes app on such a small screen can be quite the hassle. You'll have to switch between them all the time. Not only will the constant back and forth break your focus, but it'll also be hard to remember where you left off on the web page before the switch.
However, you actually don't need another app just to take notes of what you're reading on Safari. The browser already includes built-in markup tools for your annotation needs. You can use these tools for a wide range of things, such as highlighting and underlining text, overlaying text, signature, and stickers, and adding text form boxes. The annotated web page is then automatically converted to a PDF and can be saved to your device. Here's how to use the markup tools on your iPhone:
- Go to the web page you want to annotate on Safari.
- Press the "Share" button.
- Choose "Markup."
- To draw or highlight on the page, select any of the pens. You can pick the ruler to make your lines straight or the eraser to remove any lines.
- (Optional) Change the color of the current pen by tapping on the colored circle at the bottom. Here, you can also opt to modify the opacity of the lines drawn.
- To add a sticker, text, signature, or shape, press the plus icon.
- To insert a text form box, tap on the text form icon at the top and press the blue plus icon on the text form interface to add a text form box or signature.
After annotating the web page, hit Done > Save File To... > [your chosen folder].
Change how Safari looks
You can customize the layout of Safari on your iPhone to better suit your needs and preferences. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on personalizing the start page on Safari:
In Safari, go to the start page by pressing the tabs icon and selecting the plus sign at the bottom.
- Tap on "Edit."
- Rearrange the sections (Favorites, Suggestions, Privacy Report, Reading List, iCloud Tabs, Recently Closed Tabs) by holding the hamburger handle and dragging it to your desired position.
- Disable the sections you don't want to see on the start page by tapping on their toggle.
- Under Show in Suggestions, hide Frequently Visited (websites you often visit) and/or Shared with You (pages shared with you from other apps like Messages and Calendar).
- Change the background image by selecting one of the available images. Alternatively, press the plus icon under Background Image to use your own photo.
- Press the X icon at the top to save your changes.
You can also edit the layout of the tabs and page menus. To change the tab layout, open the Settings app and navigate to Apps > Safari. Then, under Tabs, choose whether to use the Tab Bar (a bar at the bottom of the page that you can swipe to switch to the other tabs) or Single Tab (displays only one tab with no swipe-to-switch functionality). There's also an option to turn on the Landscape Tab Bar. When enabled, all your tabs will be visible at the top of the screen when you use Safari in landscape mode (much like how it looks on Safari for Mac). Meanwhile, to change the page menus, here's what you need to do:
- Go to any web page on Safari.
- Press the Page Settings icon > three dots > Edit.
- Add any option to the Page Menu by tapping on the green plus icon next to it.
- Hit "Done" to save.
When you open the Page Settings, you should immediately see the options you've added on the popup.
Boost Safari with handy extensions
Safari is already packed with a multitude of features, but there are instances when you may need a specific functionality, such as a more advanced translator or a grammar checker, that is, unfortunately, not built into the app. In that case, you can use Safari extensions on your iPhone . These extensions are similar to Google Chrome extensions on your desktop — they add extra features to Safari that meet your needs better. Some extensions change the browser's appearance, while others integrate another app's features into the web page. To install and use extensions on Safari for iPhone, follow this guide:
- Open the Settings app.
- Navigate to Apps > Safari > Extensions.
- Tap on "More Extensions" to view the available extensions for your device.
- From the App Store page that opens, download your preferred extensions by pressing "Get."
- Go back to the Extensions page in the Settings app.
- Enable your downloaded extensions by tapping on them and toggling on the option "Allow Extension."
- (Optional) Turn on "Allow in Private Browsing," so you can use the extension even while you're in incognito mode.
- Under Permissions, enable the extension on the websites you want to use it in.
- Open the app for the extension you downloaded.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to set it up. You may need to create or log in to an account and configure additional settings before you can use the extension in Safari.
- Launch Safari on a web page (not the Start Page).
- Tap on the Page Settings icon at the bottom.
- To use an extension, simply select it from the list. Depending on the extension, there may be other configurations you need to set up.
If you want to remove a Safari extension, all you need to do is uninstall the app from your iPhone.

iPhone Mirroring in macOS Sequoia Got Way Better When I Learned These Shortcuts
I'm a mac user with an android phone, here's how i get my devices working together, why i'm still hanging on to my outdated intel macbook pro, quick links.
- Window Tiling Previews and Shortcuts
- Remove Margins From Tiled Windows
- Keyboard Shortcuts in iPhone Mirroring
- Safari’s New Video Viewer
- New Text Effects and Formatting in Messages
- Audio Recording and Transcriptions in Notes
- Add the New Passwords App to Your Menu Bar
- Vocal Shortcuts to Activate macOS Functions
- Hide Distractions in Safari
- A New “Keep Downloaded” iCloud File Option
- AirPods Head Gestures
- Hover Text for Better Visibility When Typing
macOS 15 Sequoia is here and available as a free download for compatible models. In addition to standout features like iPhone mirroring and better Reminders and Calendar integration, here are some changes you might have missed.
1 Window Tiling Previews and Shortcuts
Window tiling is new for macOS 15, integrating the sort of functionality you get from apps like Magnet and Rectangle into the operating system. However, the feature gets far more useful with a few simple keyboard shortcuts.
While dragging a window around the screen, hold the Option button to preview tiling placement. This makes it much easier to put the window where you want. You can also use the Window > Move and Resize menubar option to position the window this way instead.
Notice that the menubar option also lists some keyboard shortcuts you can use to quickly move windows around.
2 Remove Margins From Tiled Windows
One thing that hamstrings the new window tiling feature is macOS’ desire to put margins around your windows. You can disable this behavior by navigating to System Settings > Desktop & Dock and disabling the “Tiled windows have margins” toggle.
3 Keyboard Shortcuts in iPhone Mirroring
iPhone mirroring allows you to use your iPhone from your Mac desktop (plus you’ll see iPhone notifications too). The feature is useful, but it’s also a drag to navigate using the on-screen controls. Fortunately, you can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate your iPhone interface instead.
The most useful of these is Command+1 to access the home screen, with Command+2 opening the App Switcher and Command+3 triggering Spotlight search.
4 Safari’s New Video Viewer
Safari has a new video viewer that dims the rest of the screen, offers on-screen controls, and puts the video into picture-in-picture mode when you navigate away. The video then automatically docks again when you return to the tab.
To access the feature, click the “website options” button that appears to the right of a URL in the address bar. From there click “Video Viewer” to trigger the feature. You can also click and hold the “website options” icon on web pages that are showing a video.
This is handy since it allows you to isolate videos and force video controls to be shown on pages that don’t necessarily support it.
5 New Text Effects and Formatting in Messages
New for iOS 18 and macOS 15 Sequoia are improvements to Messages, including the ability to send text effects and format your text. To access the feature on a Mac, type your message into a conversation and then highlight the text. From here, right-click and choose “Text Effects” from the context menu.
You’ll also find formatting options for bold, italics, underline, and strikethrough in the same menu.
You can also schedule iMessages for later using the plus “+” button, which works just the same as it does on an iPhone .
6 Audio Recording and Transcriptions in Notes
You can now record audio files directly in the Notes app and have them transcribed automatically. This makes it easy to find voice notes via search.
To access the feature, create a new note or open an existing note and click on the “Record audio” icon in the toolbar at the top of the page. A new interface will appear. Hit the red “Record” button to start recording. Click on the transcription button in the interface to see a live transcription of your note as you speak.
This doesn’t depend on Apple Intelligence, it’s built on the dictation feature that’s been part of macOS for years.
7 Add the New Passwords App to Your Menu Bar
There’s a new Passwords app in macOS 15 Sequoia (just as there is in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18). Apple has essentially broken the “Passwords” interface out of the System Settings menu and put it into its own wrapper, which is a welcome change.
To get quick access to your passwords, you can pin the app to your menu bar . To do this this, open the Passwords app then click Passwords > Settings in the menu bar at the top of the screen and enable the “Show Passwords in Menu Bar” toggle.
Now look in the top-right corner of the screen for the Passwords icon. Your recent passwords will be listed. Use this to quickly access credentials, search for entries, and create new ones.
8 Vocal Shortcuts to Activate macOS Functions
Vocal Shortcuts let you teach your Mac to recognize custom phrases so that you can quickly access features using nothing more than your voice. Head to System Settings > Accessibility > Vocal Shortcuts then click “Set Up” to start using the feature.
You can make Siri requests, trigger existing Mac Shortcuts workflows , or access Accessibility options . All audio is processed locally, on your device, so the feature works offline.
9 Hide Distractions in Safari
Distraction Control for Safari lets you hide distracting elements from web pages, and it works the same on an iPhone as it does on a Mac. To start zapping distracting elements, click on the “website options” button that appears to the right of a URL in the address bar.
From here, click “Hide Distracting Items” and select whatever it is you want to remove followed by the “Hide” button. Changes will persist between visits, so when you return to a website the same elements should be hidden. Use the same menu to click “Show Hidden Items” to restore the web page to default.
This isn’t an ad-blocker, since adverts are frequently reloaded. The feature doesn’t stop elements from loading, it simply hides them from view.
10 A New “Keep Downloaded” iCloud File Option
Your Mac can create free space by temporarily offloading files to iCloud to remove them from local storage. This is useful, but sometimes you want to safeguard files against temporary removal. macOS Sequoia finally lets you do this.
In Finder, find a file you want to always keep a local copy of, then right-click and choose “Keep Downloaded.”
11 AirPods Head Gestures
If you have a pair of AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods 4 (including the AirPods 4 ANC model), you can use head gestures to respond to Siri and notifications. You can either nod to accept calls or reply to messages, or you can shake your head to decline.
This also works on iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, as long as you have a pair of compatible earbuds. Older AirPods owners will have to stick to the usual gestures and controls, like squeezing the stem on the AirPods Pro .
12 Hover Text for Better Visibility When Typing
Finally, an accessibility option that may have broad appeal depending on your tastes is Hover Text. If you have trouble seeing what you’re typing in small text boxes, head to System Settings > Accessibility > Hover Text and enable the “Hover Typing” toggle.
Now whenever you’re typing you’ll see a larger overlay appear on the screen. You can click and drag the overlay around, and it disappears once you stop typing. This is great if you spend a lot of time using spreadsheets, but it can also be a bit distracting in applications that don’t necessarily require it.
These are just a few of the lesser-known macOS 15 features. If you’ve recently updated to iOS 18 on your iPhone make sure you check our our roundup of hidden iOS 18 features too.
