disappearing tabs in google on iphone

would always be stored in the new tabs section on my iphone and ipad not any more.  I can open a search and the new tab will be there in the new tab folder but if I do another search that search replaces the old one in the new tab section

Hello crossfire1,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


Let's try adjusting Safari settings to see if this will clear up what you're experiencing with the tabs. The following information can also be found here: Open and close tabs in Safari on iPhone - Apple Support


Open a link in a new tab

Touch and hold the link, then tap Open in New Tab.

To stay on the current tab whenever you open a link in a different tab, go to Settings  > Safari > Open Links, then tap In Background.


If that's not helpful, could you let us know if you're searching in the Safari app, or if you're using the Search feature on the iPhone?


Have a great day!

Hi crossfire1,


Since the issue seems to only be happening with Google, we did find this link for their support site:

Google Help

Perhaps that can help you get started.


Another thought, have you tried using Safari in Private Browsing to see if the issue still happens? If not, it's worth a try. Here's how:

Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

How to turn on Private Browsing
1. Open Safari on your iPhone or iPod touch.
2. Tap the Tabs button .
3. Tap [number] Tabs  to show the Tab Groups list.
4. Tap Private , then tap Done.
An iPhone showing the Private Browsing Mode screen when you tap Private to turn Private Browsing on.
While Private Browsing is on, the Safari address bar appears black or dark instead of white or gray.

Take care!
