How to Control F on iPhone (Using Safari)

Starting from iOS 13, Apple has made the “search within page” function much simpler and more intuitive.

What I mean is, the function is no longer “hidden”. It is now possible to find items in two simple steps.

1. Scroll up or down a bit on the document you’re on.
2. The share icon (arrow in a square) will appear at the bottom. Tap on it.
3. A submenu opens with the menu item “Search on the page”. Tap on it.
4. Now you can enter the keyword you want to search for in the document.
5. Safari then highlights the first word that the browser finds and shows you other hits that you can use the arrow keys to jump to.

The same also works on an iPad, by the way.

1. First, go into your web browser on your Android tablet. 
2. Tap on the menu button, then tap on “Find in Page”.
3. Then enter in the word that you’re searching for and then tap search.
