Mobile Safari got a major update in iOS 7. Apple also removed the limitation of the number of Safari tabs one could be open in iOS 7.

So Apple probably felt that it wasn’t necessary to display the number of tabs that are open.

If you still want to know how many tabs are open, then there is a new jailbreak tweak for it.

The tweak is aptly called SafariTabCount. It displays the open tab count on the tab button in the bottom right corner.

Check out the video walkthrough of the tweak below:

I think it is nice to know how many tabs are open in Safari, so it doesn’t go out of control, and reminds you to close the unwanted tabs.

SafariTabCount is available for free on Cydia.
