The action in question refers to the process of terminating all active browsing sessions within the Safari application on Apple’s iOS operating system. For instance, a user with multiple webpages open across various tabs in Safari might want to end all those sessions simultaneously, instead of closing each tab individually.
Employing this functionality offers several advantages. It can help improve device performance by freeing up system memory consumed by open webpages. Moreover, it enhances user privacy by clearing browsing history and cookies associated with the terminated sessions. In earlier iterations of the iOS operating system, this was often a more involved process, highlighting the value of streamlined methods available in current versions.
