If I close the browser or lock my phone, how do I get back to the page I was on?

Is there any way to get back to the qr code browser (using the shortcut in control center, if that makes a difference) if it has closed or find that page in my browsing history?

iPhone 14 Pro

That's not what I'm seeing. Here are the steps I followed:

  1. I went to a restaurant with a QR code menu.
  2. I scanned the code using the QR code shortcut in Control Center
  3. I placed my order in the pop up browser that opened when I scanned the QR code.
  4. I locked my phone


When I unlocked my phone, the QR code scanner was open again (camera mode) but not the web page I was on. My Safari browsing history does not have any record of the restaurant's menu or the order I placed.

Did you backup your iPhone while these are open? If so, restore your iPhone from the backup, and it might pop back up.

If your browser is not open in private mode, the web pages you visit will be saved in your history. Regardless of how you have accessed them - whether via a QR code or directly in the search bar in Safari.


To see your history:


1. Open Safari app

2. Tap the little "book" icon at the bottom

3. Press the clock to the far right.


There's your entire internet history.
