I tried to collectively save ca. 500 tabs on my iPhone to a tab group, but when I did so, they ceased to be visible. Now they're not visible under recently closed tabs or in the main tab list. Can anyone recommend a way of recovering the tabs?
iPhone XR, iOS 16
Hi bailier,
Thanks for your assistance. I do have another Apple device (iPhone), but they don't appear there either. I have read the suggestion that I would need to restore my iPhone from a backup created while they were open. I'll consider this.
Thank you again.
Hello trimalchionis_7,
When you created the tab group, how did you do so? Was it manually, through the steps listed at Organize your tabs with Tab Groups in Safari on iPhone - Apple Support? We just want to confirm the exact steps that you took in order to see where in the process something may have gone wrong.
Thanks!
Hi trimalchionis_7,
Thanks for the details. Do you have another Apple device? If so, are you able to see them there? You can find steps for doing so here: View your Safari tabs from another Apple device on iPhone - Apple Support
If they're still not visible, you would have to restore from a backup created while they were open in order to regain access to them. Keep in mind that this removes any data added to your iPhone since the backup was created.
To restore from a backup, follow these steps: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
Take care.
Hi ShannonM1,
When I tried to create the tab group, I clicked on the option 'new tab group with ## tabs', which in my case read 'new tab group with 500 tabs'. But then the tabs were no longer there, either in the main browser tab or in the tab group which I had just created. Could there be any way of retrieving them?
Thanks.
Jonathan
