Since the latest iOS update, I am getting heaps of prior safari windows opening at the bottom of the screen. Yes, I can tap the one I want and the others disappear…..but how do I stop them appearing?

iPod, iOS 12

Greetings Susanlaurence,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! It seems Safari is displaying multiple windows at the bottom of your iOS device.

Test the behavior after closing out all tabs and pages in Safari, and then restart your device. If the issue persists, reach out to Apple Support for assistance with the behavior:

Use tabs in Safari on iPhone - Apple Support

"Close all your tabs

On any open page, touch and hold , then tap Close All Tabs.

You can also close your tabs from the Tab Overview screen. Touch and hold Done, then tap Close All Tabs."

Kind regards.

Hi, thanks so much for the suggestion but unfortunately it hasn’t helped. I closed all windows as suggested, powered off and did a cold start. The multiple windows were still there. I then tried the link , which when opened gave the screen with 2 blue square.

but, when pressed and held, message was share, add to photos or copy! So, not sure what I did wrong but windows are back. Same in yahoo mail too, but on checking settings I can’t see anything obvious that could be changed.
