Hi ghaidahiz,


This isn't an option that can be triggered automatically. You may want to check that you don't have any shortcuts enabled to perform this setting. Here's a resource to help with the Shortcuts app: Shortcuts User Guide - Apple Support


You may also want to check your third-party Safari extensions as well. Here's how: Get extensions to customize Safari on iPhone - Apple Support


We hope this helps.


Take care.
