I have not been able to find the answer to this question: if you accidentally close the tabs on the iPad in Safari, how do you reopen the recently closed tabs?
If you closed a Safari Window - and all associated tabs - you can reopen a Recently Closed Window for a limited period of time…
Starting from a Home Screen, assuming that Safari is visible in the Dock, touch-and-hold (i.e., long touch) the Safari icon; an Action Menu will appear.
From the menu, select Show All Windows; you will now see a screen that closely resembles the Task Switcher - but you will only see preview windows for your open Safari Windows. At top-right (iPadOS15) or top-left (iPadOS16/17) you will see the Reopen Closed Window(s) button.
You should note that the Reopen Closed Window(s) button allows you to reopen a window for a limited period of time. If left too long, you may have lost the opportunity to recover the closed window - and with it the tabs and related tab history.
That may work, but this is specifically for an iPad there is reopen
Accidentally closed all open tabs on iPad safari
