How to close multiple tabs in safari iOS 8

I just updated my iPhone to iOS 8, and after some minuts I ran into a problem.. 10+ open tabs in safari and I want to close them all at once. On iOS 7 I used to press the "private browse mode" and it would ask "Want to close all tabs?" Now it just goes into private browsing mode, without asking.

So is it possible to close all tabs at once?

Solution 1:

in Safari iOS 10 you can close all tabs by holding down the tab button

Solution 2:

The only (very slow and clumsy) solution at the moment is to clear your Safari browsing history via the settings. At the moment there is no other way to close all tabs at once.

Solution 3:

Another thing I've found is to use multiple fingers to push as many x's on the corners of the windows as I can simultaneously. This still isn't as handy as the close all button was.

Solution 4:

You can swipe tabs to left. Not all at once, but still quicker

Solution 5:

If you are using a Mac and have iCloud configured you can open Safari on your Mac and choose "View" -> "Show All Tabs". Now you'll see all open tabs on your iPhone and can quickly click on the "x" to close a tab on your phone.
