How to undo clear history and website data

Is there a way to undo this? I had some pages opened and they are gone now. I thought I was only deleting the history and cookies, I didn't mean to clear all tabs.

Nope - unfortately, in iOS, there isn’t a way undo the deletion. Clearing website history and coookies, in iOS, also deletes all the open tabs. Many of us, including yourself, have discovered this the hard way.


The retrospective “learning” here is that you should always, prior to deleting website history, save any open pages/tabs that you wish to keep to your Favourites.
