Hi lynnefromwilmington,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! Since Safari tabs are not working as expected, try restarting the Safari app to see if anything changes. The article Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch provides the steps to do so:

"From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen.
Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close.
Swipe up on the app's preview to close the app."

We also suggest restarting your iPhone if the behavior continues. Restarting refreshes everything and is always a great place to start when things aren't working as expected.

Restart your iPhone

Hope that helps!
