Tab groups

What are tab groups for?

With tab groups you can easily organize your browser. You can create new groups, classify tabs and move them between groups — all to make your work as convenient as possible.

When you open a new tab screen, a group switch is displayed at the top in the center. The switch shows the name of the group that you're currently in:

  • Samsung Tabs (if you have a Samsung phone) — if you haven't created any tab groups on your smartphone yet. Here you can find the tabs that you didn't place in any other group.
  • Group name — if you've created other tab groups on your smartphone.

Create a new tab group

  1. Tap the icon showing the number of tabs (for example, , if you have three tabs open).
    Note. If you're on a new tab, skip this step.
  2. At the top in the center of the screen tap Samsung tabs (if you have a Samsung phone) or the name of the tab group.
  3. In the bottom panel select Create tab group.
  4. Enter the name of the new tab group.
  5. Tap Create.

The group will open. Its name will be displayed at the top in the center of the screen. All sites will open in this group until you switch to another one.

Go to another tab group

  1. Tap the icon showing the number of tabs (for example, , if you have three tabs open).
    Note. If you're on a new tab, skip this step.
  2. At the top in the center of the screen tap Samsung tabs (if you have a Samsung phone) or the name of the tab group. A window with a list of tab groups will open in the lower panel. Tap the group or Samsung tabs (if you have a Samsung phone).
Note. To switch to another tab in the same group, tap the icon with the number of tabs (, if three tabs are open) and select a tab.
