Safari on iOS 7 got a huge upgrade, with a new fullscreen mode where the address bar and toolbar disappear while you’re browsing, and shows you the content with domain name of the website in the status bar.

However, when you want to do something like switch tabs or share the page, you need access to the toolbar, so here’s a tip that’ll help you unhide the toolbar in the shortest time possible.

Just tap at the bottom of the screen in Safari’s full screen mode, and you should see that both the address bar and the toolbar appear again. That’s it.

Of course there are other ways to do this too: You can tap on the minimised address bar, you can swipe down and let go of the screen, or you can scroll to the top or bottom. But tapping at the bottom is the fastest and most convenient way.

Here’s a short video demoing the tip:
