Recover numerous open tabs in Safari?

I accidentally closed all my tabs in Safari, about 50 tabs. How can I recover them, and/or set up a way that I can’t do this again? I cannot find all of them in my history because some have been open for quite some time.


Is there a way to back up all the open tabs so I don’t have this happen again?

iPad Pro, 15

You may find this article to be helpful in understanding some of the frequent difficulties encountered by users new to iPadOS Safari - along with some of Safari’s more esoteric features and quirks:

Insofar as possible, I hope to have distilled most of the frequent problems reported here - and documented procedures, strategies [and where needed] some useful workarounds. This document has not yet been updated for iPadOS15, however, the described techniques are largely consistent for iPadOS 15.x.


I hope that you find this to provide useful guidance.

Not helpful for the 15.x.2 update… all the open tabs on my iPad are gone when I updated my phone. I had 15 tabs open and not on my recent as the have been open for a while. So aggravating. So irritating 😠 I had things that I can’t find on the recent, because it keeps scrolling to the TOP. I updated to be protected from bad actors, just bites when Apple f ups everything.
