Can I restore a deleted tab on my iPhone?

On iphone named current nearly full tab group, created new group, went back to older tabs and tried to create a new single tab there to add to that group. This resulted in all the tabs being deleted. I never selected delete tabs. Can they be restored other than trying to go thru entire history? Some are very old.

Hello Thx4UrHelp,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help you recover these tabs on your iPhone.

Have you tried these steps to recover the tabs?


"Reopen a recently closed tab

  1. Tap the Tabs button
  2. Touch and hold the New Tab button
  3. Choose from the list of recently closed tabs."

This Apple Support page has the full details: Use tabs in Safari on iPhone - Apple Support



If these steps don't help, do you have iCloud enabled? Check by going to Settings  > [your name] > iCloud, then Safari.

Do you have a current backup of your device when you had this data? You could restore the entire device to that time.


We hope this helps to recover your tabs in Safari.

Cheers!
