I have an new one IPhone 16 pro and I am exasperated that my search bar in Safari is compact and on the bottom. I have tried turning search bar on the Top in settings, but it doesnt helped me at all. By the way, I have a new update installed IOS 26.1.
Please give me some help;)
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26
What setting did you change exactly?
The Option ins in Settings ➜ Apps ➜ Safari , scroll down to the "Tabs" section and Select Top.
If you choose either Compact or Bottom, the search bar will be at the bottom

That seems to be a glitch then. I assume if you select a different option like compact it still does not change.
Try selecting compact again, close down settings, then shutdown Safari. Open Settings, and change it back to Top, and re-open Safari see if that works.
If it still won't change, then try restarting the iPhone.

If it still won't change, then you may need to set up a Genius Bar appointment at an Apple Store or authorized service provider to have it checked out.

This was a glitch! I just restarted my phone 2 times and it worked!))) thank you so much guys
That's not possible.
The "Top" option moves the Search / Address bar to the top, it will still keep a control bar at the bottom, but the search itself is placed on the top.
There are no other options.
I changed it on Top, but it is still on the bottom(
Didnt helped(((
I just tried Phil's suggestion on my iPhone SE 2020 running ios 26.1 and it worked:
Are you running 26.1 or an older version of 26?
PS: Thanks, Phil!
You are lucky) I have a newest version 26.1
