How can I prevent Safari from duplicating tab groups on iPhone?

IVE BEEN FACING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS NOW YET THERES STILL NO SOLUTION FOR THIS MATTER.


MY SAFARI HAD BEEN DOING THIS DUPLICATION IN MY TABS GROUP FOR A LONG TIME NOW THAT CAUSED MY PHONE TO GET DAMAGED REALLY FAST AND DRAIN THE BATTERY OF MY PHONE THAT ONLY LASTED 3 YEARS AND ITS ALREADY AT 71% BATTERY HEALTH WITH PROPER CARE. CAN ANYONE IN THIS WORLD GIVE SOME CLUE HOW TO FIX THIS BUG? IVE TRIED EVERYTHING AND NONE OF THEM WORKED.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Safari in a Loop:


Reset to Factory Settings:

Having been an issue "for years", then there may be no fix, other than reinstalling your iPhone anew, as if you were to sell it. You'd backup and export what you can to iCloud, and reset your iPhone to Factory Settings. Then, reinstall everything manually. Perform as instructed here, including a backup creations and iCloud sign out: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to Factory Settings - Apple Support


IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the reset.
