Safari automatically reopens a previous session

I’m having issues with Safari in my iPhone XR with iOS 15.5.

Each time I reopen the app the tabs that appear are those of a particular previous session, both in “normal” and “private” mode. This makes me unable to open new tabs and let them “stored” for reading afterwards.

The session that is reopened is that of Tuesday morning and I do not remember doing anything strange/different as usual.

I already turned off the sync of Safari with iCloud, but the situation remains.


Does anyone experience/ed something similar or know how to fix it?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

This is normal unless I have utterly misunderstood you.


If you do not want the previous tabs to open up when you open Safari then..


Settings > Safari > Close Tabs > [Choose your options here]
