Change the layout in Safari on iPad
You can choose the tab bar layout that works best for you.
Go to Settings
> Apps > Safari.
Scroll down to Tabs, then select either Separate Tab Bar or Compact Tab Bar.
You can move between layouts as much as you want without losing the tabs you have open.
Note: If you’re using the Compact Tab Bar layout, the menus and layout may look different from what’s described in this guide.
