How to recover lost Safari tabs -not accidentally deleted.

Hello all. I have an iPhone 14 running iOS26.1.

First thing one morning I opened a link in an email to discover all tabs in Safari were gone. They were all there the previous night.

Is there a way to recover them? There were over 100.

Thanks.

There is... though with over 100 tabs it might take a while. Open Safari, tap the three dots to the right of the address bar, then 'All Tabs'. Press and hold the plus button in the bottom left until the 'Recently Closed Tabs' menu shows up and tap one to reopen it.
