How can I stop Safari opening to a New Tab?
When opening Safari via Dumb Phone, you may notice it opens to a new tab each time.
Unfortunately this is an iOS limitation when opening it from alternate ways that don't involve tapping its app icon.
We recommend setting up Dumb Phone's "Open App Assistant" which will prevent this behavior.
How does the Open App Assistant help?
Once set up, the assistant will let you open Safari with the standard behavior.
How to set it up
- Open Dumb Phone → Launcher Apps screen
- Next to Safari, tap the 3-dot menu button
- Select "Open App Method" → Use Assistant.
If previously haven't used the assistant, there is minor set up involved but it is definitely worth it for this benefit.
