Safari private browsing deletes all my tabs?

If I open any tabs in private browsing on my iPhone, leave private browsing then come back, all my tabs are deleted! It never used to do this before but just recently this has been happening and it's so annoying. How do I stop this?

You should check browser's settings.

Use normal tabs, the point of browsing is privacy, what if some noob gets on your phone and looks.

  • What is the purpose of private browsing? On my iPhone, I can do private browsing in safari and I'm not sure what that means. Is it for if someone wants to look at naughty pics without other people knowing? Is it so you can't get hacked? I'm just wondering.
  • What happens if i turn off private browsing? Hi! So i have an ipod touch and i was wondering if i turn off private browsing if my mom can see any of my stuff on her iphone or on the laptop.

Please make sure your answers are readable like if your really smart please don't use huge words cuz i'm sort of stupid lol:/ thank you everyone!
  • Spy app for android and iphone to monitor private browsing? I'm looking for an app to track privately browsed sites or a way to shut off private browsing within the phones. My son has an android phone and my daughter has an Iphone. I would like to be able to check in occasionally, just to make sure they are not falling into the wrong crowd or looking up things they shouldn't be. I trust my kids, but in this day and age, I just want to keep them as safe as possible!
  • Safari Private Browsing History not Private? So I've got an iPhone 4 and recently found out that there's actually a way to view the history of your private tab. Is this true? If so, I wanted to know how to delete it.
