Search bar on home screen
I've seen a number of features requests to bring back the search bar to the home screen on iOS, some dating back three years. Is there an update on this? I usually use search to find entries, and bei...
Hello ncapassmember! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! We’ve been exploring different versions of the user experience in this area to find the right balance. Over the past year, the Home screen in 1Password 8 for iOS has included a search bar.
More recently, we’ve begun gradually rolling out a new dedicated Search tab for iPhone and iPad, which will replace the search bar. Since this is a phased rollout, it may not be available on your device just yet. In the meantime, here’s a preview of what you can expect once it’s fully rolled out:

That being said, you can still search by pulling down on a list of items to search through those items instead of navigating back to the search tab. Let me know if you have any feedback and I can pass that along to the team.-Dave

Thanks Dave,
I've been using the new version with the search tab. For me, at least, it's actually a step back in functionality. The old home screen allowed you to directly start searching in the search bar without having to tap a separate area first. Is it a major hassle to now have to click a search tab first, then click in the search field to open up the virtual keyboard? No. But it's just a bit less user-friendly for an app I use multiple times a day. A good compromise would have been to allow a search bar as one of the home screen customization options for those of us who prefer it over less-useful options like "profile" or "tips".

Thank you for the feedback and suggestion! Your idea to add a search bar as a customization option for the Home screen in the 1Password mobile app is an interesting one and I've filed a feature request to have the team look into that for the future.
