Lost private tabs

I had over 100 private safari tabs on my iPhone and I accidentally closed them all at once so that they are all lost. And there is no way for me to get them back since they don’t save in history. But after that I turned off iPhone backup meaning that the last backup made on my iPhone contained all of those private tabs.

will those private tabs be restored and come back to my phone if I install that latest backup? Or is there another way for me to bring back those tabs?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Good afternoon arvindarvish,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like you had private tabs open in Safari, but these websites were not saved to Favorites, is that right? If that is the case, it doesn't seem probable that these tabs would be restored in a backup. You might want to reach out to Apple directly for clarification: Get Support


Take care.
