Big things are happening in Vivaldi for iOS. With version 7.4, we’re bringing more power to your fingertips with smarter settings, deeper customization, and serious tab-handling upgrades that make mobile browsing feel a whole lot better.
Pin tabs. Stack tabs. Own your workflow.
Tabs on iOS just got a serious upgrade. With tab pinning and tab stacking now available on the tab bar, you can organize your mobile browser like a pro.
- Pin tabs to keep your go-to sites always within reach. Think email, music, or your favorite news feed. To pin a tab, simply long-press it, select “pin tab” and it will be pinned on the left side of your tab bar.
- Stack tabs to group related sites together. Planning a trip? Researching a new project? Stacking tabs helps you stay organized and in control. Stacks can be created from the tab switcher or by long pressing a tab and selecting “Add to tab stack” or “create tab stacks”. To clearly differentiate your stacks, you can customize them by giving the stacks names and color.
These aren’t half-measures, this is desktop-class tab management for your phone. If you’re using Vivaldi for iPad the new tab features are a revelation. Just what you’ve come to expect from Vivaldi.
Let it play: Background Audio is here
If your browser is your hub for everything, streaming music, tuning into podcasts, catching up on news, we’ve got your back. With background audio playback, you can now keep the sound going even when you switch apps or lock your screen. No interruptions, no cutoffs, just smooth listening while you multitask.
Put together with the new setting to block links from opening in external apps, you stay right where you want to be: in Vivaldi, in control.
Clean up or speed up with smarter history controls
Your browser should remember what you want and forget what you don’t. With new settings to control both Search History and Typed History in the address bar, you choose how much (or how little) your browser remembers.
Want suggestions based on past searches? Great. Prefer a fresh start every time? Easy. Vivaldi does both, because it’s your personal browser.
Stay in control of links
We’ve added a setting to stop links from automatically opening in external apps. That means fewer interruptions, fewer detours, and more control over where your taps take you. Whether you’re reading, shopping, or want to see a video, you stay in Vivaldi if that’s what you prefer.
Tabs made prettier
The tab bar has been updated with a cleaner, more refined design and now your tabs float! Not literally, but visually. Inspired by our desktop version, the new floating tabs design gives your tab bar a more modern and elegant feel, making it easier to distinguish open tabs and giving Vivaldi a sleeker, cleaner look.
Update your browser now and dive into all the new features!
If you love what we’re building, don’t keep it to yourself. Share Vivaldi with someone who needs a more powerful, more personal, and private browser.
As always, thank you for being part of the Vivaldi community. Together, we’re fighting for a better web, one release at a time.
