Reopening tabs lost during iPhone update to iOS 26.
Upon updating iPhone to iOS 26, I lost all my Safari tabs, which I used as a reminders of tasks to complete and topics needing research. Upon searching for solution I realized this is a widespread problem. I finally found mine, as follows:
1. In Safari, long-press the “+” to show recently closed tabs.
2. If all previous tabs are not visible using 1st method: Tap the “+” opening new Safari tab. Scroll down to “Recently Closed Tabs” and click “Show All”. This should show all tabs closed during the update.
**These methods allow reopening each tab one-by-one. Unfortunately I have not found a way to reopen all tabs simultaneously, but if/when I do I will edit this post.
**If anyone knows how to reopen all tabs simultaneously please chime in!
