Safari Question

[jhnnyblze2000]

Ok so I must be missing something. Ever since I updated to the iOS 13 public beta when I’m on any website I can’t open things in new tabs. I’m using xr and used to only have to long press and then it would give me the option to open or open in new window/tab. Now when I long press there’s only the open option. I’ve gotta be missing something.

This is all that’s in the options when I long press now.

I just checked and can confirm you’re not missing anything. Like you, long pressing or even selecting a link does not open the page in a new tab even though I have it selected in the Safari settings.

I even created a couple of tabs, and then tried to long press on a link, but the page opened in the same tab instead of a new tab.

Have you submitted a report to Apple? I submitted feedback to Apple, just in case.

Yup I did the same thing but figured I would come here as well in case I just couldn’t figure something out lol.

I did find a work around. If you click on copy open a new tab on your own you can long press the new tabs address bar and click paste and go it gives you the desired result but it’s definitely not as easy or user friendly lol.

Yeah I realize that when I was testing your claim. Hopefully, the omission will be remedied in the next dev beta update.

It's not just on the beta. I have a device still on 12.3.1 -- same behaviour from Safari.

That’s odd I just checked my wife’s phone and her option to open in a new window is there and she’s on 12.3.1.

Finally got around to updating to the newest public beta and the open in background option is back.
