How to restore Safari tabs after reseting phone (I HAD THEM! They just gone after few days)

Hello, I had to reset my iphone about week ago, I had there about 200 opened tabs in Safari.


I knew it, that they gonna save as the notes do and just reopen after resetting. They did.

But there was two sections: New page of clear tab and under that was my previous configuration name before resetting iphone and there was my old tabs under this name. Today I looked in Safari and they just gone somehow.


Few years ago I was in kinda same situation but the tabs reopened as normal tabs. But tabs in this situation was under the name of the iphone before resetting (even tho after reset I logged into same icloud)


Is there any chance to bring them back? How they could disappear? I have a lot of free space on my iphone. Maybe resetting my phone again will bring them back?

Hi Kitsukitsu6,


We would like to see how we can help with those Safari tabs. When you reset the iPhone Settings, it will erase all tabs and your Safari historyas well. The only way to restore those tabs would be by restoring a backup from before the Settings were reset. Follow the steps in this link to restore from a backup: Restore your iPhone from a backup


Cheers!
