Browser extensions are powerful tools that customize your web experience, and with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Safari on iPhone and iPad now supports them natively. As seasoned iOS users, we've tested dozens of these extensions to bring you reliable recommendations and a straightforward setup guide.

How to Add Safari Extensions

Follow these simple steps on your iPhone or iPad—the process is identical for both devices.

• Tap the Settings app.
