To open your Safari browsing history, tap the book-shaped icon on the toolbar, tap the book-shaped icon in the pane that appears, and then tap “History.” Scroll through your browsing history or use the search box and you should be able to find the web address of the tab you had open. If it’s been a while since you closed the tab and it no longer appears in the list, you can try finding it in your browser history. That’s the point! If Your Recently Closed Tabs Don’t Appear In the List Note that you won’t see Incognito tabs appear in the “Recent Tabs” list, as Chrome forgets about them right after you close them. In Google Chrome on an iPhone or iPad, tap the menu button, and then tap the “Recent Tabs” option. You’ll see a list of tabs you recently closed under the “Recently Closed” section.
Tap the recently closed tab you want to restore, and Safari will reopen that web page.
