Teak help for iPhone and iPad

Open Settings in Teak and select Set as Default Browser. In the system settings, choose Teak as your browser. The system settings layout varies by iOS or iPadOS version.

Open Settings → Search Settings to choose or add an engine. You can also configure search suggestions and quick switching between engines in the search bar.

In Settings → Browse Settings → New Tab, choose Teak Home, a custom URL or an available new-tab extension. On Teak Home, use its menu to change the wallpaper or enter edit mode to organise shortcuts.

Open the tab overview to switch or close pages and browse tab groups. Use the group controls to create groups. Long-press a page or link to see the actions available for that item.

Enable Open Last Web Pages at Startup in Settings → Browse Settings. To restore private tabs too, enable Keep Incognito Tabs. That saves tab addresses and previews on this device, but not private cookies or sign-in sessions.

In Teak, open Settings → Extensions or enter chrome://extensions in the address bar. Use the built-in search, Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Add-ons to find compatible extensions. Review permissions before installing, then open the extension from the browser's extensions menu.

Open the extension manager to enable, disable, remove or view details. Check for updates manually. If an update requests more permissions, review and confirm them before proceeding.

Check that it is enabled and has access to the website, then reload the page. Check for updates and compare with the compatibility guide. Desktop-only features and some iOS restrictions can affect support. Report the extension name, version and affected URL if the issue continues.

Open Settings → Ad Block to choose blocking rules, add custom rules or manage exceptions. To hide a specific element, use Flagging Ads in Page from the page menu. Manage saved selections under Flagged Ads. Reload the page after changing rules.

Add the site to the ad-blocking exceptions or remove the relevant flagged element. If needed, temporarily disable a blocking extension, reduce tracking protection or turn off webpage dark mode, one change at a time, and reload to identify the cause.

Choose Reading mode from the page menu when an article is detected, then adjust its font, size, theme and brightness. It may be unavailable on pages without extractable article text. App appearance and webpage dark mode can be adjusted separately; Website Settings provides a per-site dark-mode choice.

Choose Translation from the page menu and select the target language. Change the translation service in Settings → Translation, then relaunch Teak for that change to take effect. Check network access; Google Translate may be unavailable in some regions.

Read Aloud, Page Zoom and Find in page are page-menu tools. The read-aloud toolbar lets you choose a voice and control playback. Configure auto-scroll as a shortcut in the personalized settings. Settings → Browse Settings also provides a default page zoom.

Use Add to bookmark from the page menu. Open Bookmarks to edit items and folders; long-press a bookmark for more actions, including pinning it to Home. The More menu offers HTML import and export for moving bookmarks between browsers.

In Settings → iCloud Sync, enable the categories you need, such as bookmarks, Home sites, custom blocking rules and wallpaper. Autofill has a separate iCloud switch. Use the same iCloud account on both devices and check Teak's iCloud access if changes do not appear; try Sync Now.

Open Downloads from the browser menu to view files and task status. Use a file's Share or Show in Files action to export or locate it. For interrupted tasks, use the available resume action; expired links may require starting again from the website.

Settings → Downloads has Merge M3U8 files. When off, new downloads save the playlist only; when on, Teak downloads segments and merges them. Background progress for eligible tasks requires iOS 26 or later. Stopping the system task pauses the download; completion notifications require permission.

Open Web Resource Sniffer from the page menu to inspect detected images, video and audio. Video controls and configured shortcuts provide playback tools where available. Some sites, protected media or system restrictions can prevent discovery, downloading, picture in picture or background playback.

Choose Save Current Page Offline or Create PDF from the page menu. Find saved pages under Archives. An offline copy may not preserve sign-in, interactive content or streaming media; open it after saving to check that the content you need is present.

Open Books from the browser menu, then import from Files or Downloads. In the reader, use More for contents and reading options, and select text for annotation actions. Damaged or protected EPUB files may not open.

Incognito browsing does not save normal browsing history or persist its website cookies and sessions. Keep Incognito Tabs can retain addresses and page previews. Settings → Downloads separately controls private download history. Saved files and bookmarks remain until you remove them; incognito does not make you anonymous to websites.

Settings → Storage provides image-cache and website-data management. Removing a site's data can sign you out. Settings → Tracking Prevention adjusts protection; reload pages after changes. Settings → Security provides browser-lock options using your device's authentication.

Open Settings → Autofill to manage saved passwords, payment methods and personal information, and enable the filling options you want. Autofill's iCloud sync is separate. On iOS 26.2 or later, system password-manager sync can send new or updated Teak passwords; system changes do not sync back.

Open Settings → Personalized Settings for address-bar position, toolbar pinning on iPhone, bottom swipes, the swipe-up action and long-press shortcuts. Available controls differ between iPhone and iPad. Use the Home page menu to change its background and edit shortcuts.

On iPad, use the tab bar, sidebar and toolbar extension popups for browsing and management. External-keyboard actions are available for common browser commands; hold the Command key to see the shortcuts currently offered by the app.

Use Request Desktop Site from the page menu, or enable it for the current site in Website Settings. Settings → Browse Settings → Browser User Agent provides broader choices. Reload after changes; identifying as a desktop browser does not add desktop-only capabilities.

Website Settings manages camera, microphone and external-app access for the current site. Settings → Open Links in Associated Apps controls automatic app jumps more broadly. If camera, microphone or location still fails, check Teak's corresponding permissions in the system settings.

Open Settings → Teak Pro for the current benefits and plans. Pro includes unlimited extensions and advanced tools such as translation, resource discovery, custom blocking rules and inspection. Follow the entitlement message shown by the feature; prices and offers are displayed before purchase.

Use Restore purchases on the Teak Pro screen with the Apple Account used to buy Teak. Previous paid-app buyers can restore permanent Pro access. Manage or cancel subscriptions in system Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Removing the app does not cancel a subscription.

Check the connection and affected URL, reload, then temporarily disable relevant extensions or page modifications one at a time. For login issues, check tracking protection before clearing site data. Use Settings → Feedback, or email support with versions, reproduction steps and a screenshot.

The page menu includes View Page Source, Console and Create Website QR Code. To inspect from a Mac, enable Web Inspector in Settings → Browse Settings, connect your device and select its page in Safari's Develop menu. Some inspection tools require Teak Pro.
