How to restore 498 tabs in Safari

I had 498 tabs open in Safari (I know….it’s a problem). I mistakenly clicked close all tabs, when I was trying to move a window.


When I press the overlapping squares at the bottom right, and held the + button, and it does allow me to reopen the last 200 or so.


how do I get the other 290 tabs back beyond that?! **I did NOT have safari synced with ICloud.


Thank you

iPhone safari history only goes back one month it seems?


Yes, as far as I have been able to determine. I have not been able to find an Apple Support document that describes a limit though.


Even that limit may be curtailed under certain circumstances — insufficient iPhone storage for example. If you are seeking iPhone-specific Safari information though you ought to post your question in the Using iPhone - Apple Community. This one isn't it.
