The beta iOS 18.4 version includes a small change in Safari which can agree with certain users, but which will certainly irritate others, because it exhibits your Safari search history whenever you open a new tab and press the search field.
As the first noted by 9TO5MACExposing your safari search is not a good thing if you never open a browser window with someone looking over your shoulder, or if you put your iPhone or iPad back to someone else to let it use Safari.
What users are really worried here is a birthday, Christmas and the desired birthday gifts, right? None of my readers are looking for “(insert the name of celebrity here) naked”, right?
For those of us who are not worried about exposing their research entries, the new research feature could be useful if you regularly use the same research terms. Users can also take advantage of the private safari navigation mode, which does not record research.
Although there is currently no way to switch the new view of research and research, Apple can choose to do so before iOS 18.4 is released to the public, if enough beta users complain about functionality, that is to say. Until then, users of safari can erase their search history by pressing the “delete everything” option.
There is no framework in iOS 18.4 to deactivate the recent search view, but Apple can choose to modify the functionality before the beta version sees a public launch. Users can also choose to erase their search history at any time with the “Erase” button in the upper right corner of the Safari search screen.
