Relaunch all tabs

I’m freaking out. In one accidental tap, I just closed all 168 open tabs. Can I bulk reopen them the same way I bulk closed? There’s no way I can manually restore each one.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hi XOmanda57,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Try the options you have for re-opening tabs / windows in Safari's "History"

(NB: However, if you have "private browsing" turned on there is no browsing history kept)

____________________________________


Wondering if you have tab groups organised.


See Apple support's article:

"Use tabs in Safari on iPhone":

Eg: says "Create a Tab Group to keep tabs organized and make them easier to return to later".

_______________________

Also:

Reopen a recently closed tab

Tap , touch and hold , then choose from the list of recently closed tabs.
