Troubleshooting Safari Tabs Not Closing on iPhone

If your Safari tabs are not closing on your iPhone, it could be because you have iCloud enabled on your device. iCloud keeps the tabs you have open in Safari up to date across all of your Apple devices, so that you can pick up where you left off no matter which device you’re using.

Troubleshooting Safari Not Closing Tabs

There cold be several reasons why Safari isn’t closing your tabs. First, you may have switched off the automatic tab closing setting. To make sure this is enabled, go to iPhone Settings -> Safari -> Close Tabs and make sure that one of the options is selected (e.g. After One Day).

Second, you may have too many browser tabs open for Safari to close them automatically. To solve this issue, try manually closing some of your tabs in order to reduce the number of tabs open at any one time.

Finally, you may be experiencing a bug or issue with Safari itself. In this case, we recommend restarting the app by double-pressing the Home button and swiping up to close Safari completely and then reopening it again. If this does not solve the problem, try resetting your device’s settings by going to iPhone Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings and see if that resolves the issue.
