About the new UI on iOS

Recently, Brave introduced the new tab design and UI on iOS.

Honestly, I like the new tab design, because it got bigger and easily to check its contents specifically on iphone.

However, I don’t like its UI.
For example,when switching from a private tab to a regular tab, I have to tap the tab overview button first, and then tap the button at the top.

I think that’s inefficient, especially when using an iPhone, which is often used in portrait orientation.
I think that the button for switching between private and regular tabs should be placed at the bottom of the screen when using the device in portrait mode.

In the case of the iPad, the button to show the tab overview is located at the top, so I don’t think the new UI is inefficient.
However, when displaying the tab overview on the iPad, the tabs seem too small for its display especially when using the device in landscape mode.

I see absolutely no difference in tab design here on iOS, and I am completely updated. I am baffled.

For what it’s worth to whoever sees it, I do like the new iOS Tab UI too and the comments by below people and this OP, not bad suggestions… good changes, minor tweaks could make it even better

one thing I might change about the Private Tab UI part is switching the Normal Tab and Private Tab buttons to the other side, previously Private Tabs would open to the LEFT, but the Private Tab button is to the RIGHT now of the Normal Tabs, so that’s one minor change I’d make but it’s not a big enough deal to me as I really don’t use Private Tabs anyway, just thought I might mention it for continuity sake.

@treego14 : check this out

@User.1.000.000.000 Still no noticeable difference in the look of the tabs even with that flag enabled … strange.

Strange indeed, I don’t know what to tell you :man_shrugging:

I assume you’ve restarted your phone and done all the basic troubleshooting?

Not sure if it’s worth uninstalling and reinstalling the app and restarting your phone (I personally wouldn’t want to uninstall Brave and have to set Sync and everything back up again… though I suppose it’s good to clean it up every once and awhile)

I am using an iOS 18.7.1 version. Maybe you are using an iOS 26 version?

Sorry to say but same, I’m waiting for 26.1 (as well?)

Is there a view of the new tab UI somewhere? Maybe I have it already, but the changes are so subtle I am not noticing the new look at all.

This is what mine looks like @treego14, how about you?

Oh! I thought we were talking about the tabs on the tab bar all along! Thank you for your screenshot! I think I am okay, then. :slight_smile:

I know the terminology can be confusing, glad we got that sorted, have a good one! :zany_face: :rofl: (laughing with not at :wink: )

Also if you care to, check out some of my feedback on it too here: :wink:
