Something has gone wrong with Safari on my iPhone. When it’s in landscape orientation, the left half of the screen is obscured by a panel that has three selections: Bookmarks, Reading List, and History. I’ve been trying to get rid of that f***ing panel for a half hour. I don’t see the f***ing panel in portrait orientation.

Tim Cook is a f***ing … Well, I’ll just say that he’s no Steve Jobs. I used to love my Apple stuff.

Look for an open book icon and click on it.

When all else fails to try these:

-Close Safari

-Turn off iPhone and back on.

-Reset iPhone(not reset where you lose all data) Hold the side button and home button. On newer phones without a home button hold the side and volume up.

kkina: I did, but that just sets the f***ing panel to “Bookmarks”, one of the three selections.

The open book should not be next to an eyeglass and a clock. Try to get it in a menu bar.

Put the phone in portrait mode and try the book icon.

I thank you! That worked. But the fix is so nonintutive that I probably won’t remember it the next time this failure happens. Sure wish Steve Jobs hadn’t died.
