Safari tabs keep reopening after being closed Every time I go onto safari it keeps opening two tabs, I keep closing them and clearing safari website data and cache and it asks me to close tabs, so I click yes but it keeps reopening them! I have fully turned my phone off and played around with the ‘close tabs’ button in safari and also checked the safari backup button is on in iCloud, but my Apple ID isn’t on any other devices except this one. Please help me. Is this an iPhone storage problem or something else? It’s really annoying.

Restoring full previous Safari tabs on iPad I just don’t understand why Apple won’t ad Restore All Tabs for Previous Session to Safari on iPad and iPhone iOS when you accidentally close all tabs . Especially now that the 500 tab limit has been removed. And why is the close all tabs button even there or in such an easy to press location. Firefox, Chrome,DuckDuckGo,Opera all have this… chrome can even backup to email notes. As a heavy apple user. This has to be the biggest frustration feature in my user experience. Please resolve this. Unless anyone else has a solution.
