Have you ever needed to close all tabs in Safari on your iPhone or iPad? Opening too many tabs can make things unmanageable, especially on the iPhone.
The only way to close all open Safari tabs using a jailbreak tweak called CloseAll which means you need a jailbroken iPhone. There was previously a workaround to close all tabs by turning on or off Private mode, but Apple removed the option in iOS 8.
Step 1: Jailbreak iOS 8 – iOS 8.1.1 on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
If you haven’t jailbroken your device, then you can follow our step-by-step guide:

Step 3: How to close all open tabs in Safari with CloseAll
- Tap on the tabs button in the bottom right corner.
- Then tap and hold on any of the x button.
