Missing Safari tabs after opening links from emails on iPhone 16 Plus with iOS 25.1

Apologies if this has been covered before…


I go through my emails daily opening links from various news sources. I actually see the link open but swipe up and move back to mail to continue going through my emails.


When I move to safari to read the tabs I’ve clicked many are missing. For example, this evening I know I opened at least 20 but there were fewer than 10 tabs there. I knew some were missing as I frequently read them on a Friday (football news).


Has anyone experienced this, or has a fix for it? I’m not completely sure but I think this has only started with iOS 25.


Thanks in advance.
