Safari tabs keep moving to private on my iPhone

since I upgraded to IOS16 my tabs have randomly started moving to the private browser. One second they’re there the next they vanish. I can have them there for a few days or even a day. There’s no pattern, everything is up to date and I have forced close safari and restarted my phone multiple times still is same.

Hello Shiva_h,


Does Safari seem to think the tab is closed if you were to complete the steps below that are also listed here: Open and close tabs in Safari on iPhone ? This may help to resolve the issue, or to isolate the issue further and determine our next steps.


Open a recently closed tab
Tap the Tabs button, touch and hold the New Tab button, then choose from the list of recently closed tabs.
Previews of open tabs are visible on the screen. At the bottom left of the screen, the New Tab button has been pressed, revealing a list of recently closed tabs.


Hope this helps!
