Does Safari on your iPhone and iPad pile up with open tabs? iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 look to simplify things with the option to automatically close Safari tabs after a certain period of time. Follow along for a look at this new feature.

Similar to features that Apple has rolled out to other areas of iOS, like the Messages app, a new option will automatically close tabs in Safari after one day, one week, or one month.
