Most websites (including this one) have a small image, called a favicon, that displays in certain locations. One of these locations is an open tab in a Web browser.

But you may not like these icons, or you may be experiencing a problem with Safari that you think may be caused by these icons. Our guide below will show you where to find the setting that will stop them from being displayed when you open the tabs window in your iPhone’s Safari browser.
