Why do my pinned tabs in safari keep disappearing? I have updated each tab for the same thing just to happen time & time again.
I'm using Mac OS Monterey version 12.6.1 and safari version 16.1
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13
Pinned sites stay in place, even when you open a new Safari window or quit and reopen Safari.
No, they don't. This is what we're complaining about.

NOT HELPFUL! This automated reply simply tells us how to pin tabs--we already know that. The problem is that the pinned tabs keep closing when the system restarts. There appears to be a bug with the latest update. What can be done to correct this?
Just upgraded my Old iMac late 2013 to an M1 2021 iMac and with it 3 major OS upgrades that were due. The pinned tabs feature used to work flawlessly on the old model running Catalina. The new one running Ventura must have a bug with this feature for sure. It randomly unpins them all, sometimes closes them or they just all disappear! I’m sick of re pinning them and have resorted to the favourites bar which isn’t as good. Hopefully there’s a fix for this!
Need to step away from Cupertino my friend!! There is no resolution to this problem and it clearly still exists.
Same problem here.
Pinned tabs used to work just fine and so did the "windows from last session".
Since the last update, the one that introduced group tabs, things are broken.
Every time you restart Safari, you lose the pinned tabs and it doesn't open with the tabs from last session.
Running Safari Version 16.2 on Big Sur 11.7.2.
Everything seems to be up to date.
Tried the iCloud sync thing, to no avail.
Google Chrome is working just fine. It even let you choose a profile to restore tabs.
Need my Safari working again.
Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities 4nnM,
We can certainly understand your concern and can help provide some insight.
We recommend checking out these steps on how to pinned tabs and see if it matches up on your side.
" Pin frequently visited websites in Safari on Mac
You can pin any website you visit frequently. Pinned sites stay put on the left side of your tab bar, and at the top of Tab Groups in the sidebar, so you can easily get to them at any time. Each Tab Group can have its own pinned websites.
Pin a website
on your Mac, drag the tab with the website you want to pin to the left side of the tab bar.
appears, drop the tab in place.Rearrange pinned sites
on your Mac, drag a pinned site before or after another pinned site in the tab bar or the sidebar.Unpin a website
on your Mac, drag the pinned tab to the right side of the tab bar.Duplicate a pinned site
on your Mac, Control-click a pin, then choose Duplicate Tab.Close a pinned tab
on your Mac, Control-click a pin, then choose Close Tab.Pinned sites stay in place, even when you open a new Safari window or quit and reopen Safari.
When you click a link to another website from a pinned site, the other website opens in a new tab. Your pinned site always shows the website you pinned. "

These steps will help ensure your device is working with ease and can fix common issues like the ones you’re experiencing.
Kindest regards!
Same problem - have "rebuild" my rack of pinned webpages twice already.
The problem seem to appear when opening an existing pinned webpage, then from there try to open a link from the page "to new tab" - the "new tab" appear in the list of pinned, but as if it was a full page shown and messes up ALL the pinned webpages.
I have found zero ways to avoid or prevent the damage once it occurs - cannot be 'repaired'
Once you close Safari and reopen - the pinned webpages are gone...
Good quality assurance from Apple - but how it has been for quite some years - so sad.
I am personally leaving OSX/MacOS behind - I truly loved it over the years - it was the best OS of any and a happy marriage with Apple Mac hardware. But poor quality control, no customers in the end.
Very poor that this has not been resolved by now.
R_Gabriel's response of no use at all ...the primary question was clearly not even read.
Surely it cannot be that hard to fix this issue - very frustrating indeed.
Not helpful at all. This has been ongoing for months. Very frustrating that it isn't fixed by now. I always quit all windows at the end of the day, but having to remember to not quit Safari so that I don't lose my pinned sites is quite annoying.
Appears there has been an update for the fix on 12/13/22. Currently installing. We'll see. It would be nice if Apple updated this forum. https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/yn0xoi/confirm_safari_bug_regarding_pinned_tabs/
I am having the same issue. 100% annoying.
Not very helpful. This only explains how to save the tabs, not how to resolve the issue regarding the sudden closing of pinned tabs.
How do we stop the pinned tabs from closing?
I'm having the same issue. Safari 16.1 on Ventura 13.0. Have multiple tabs open on multiple windows and it's random which ones restore when i restart Safari. This just started happening today.
Why do my pinned tabs in safari 16.1 keep disappearing?
