Open recently closed page on iOS

Question

I know on iPad you can press and hold the new tab button to re-open recently closed tabs, but is there any similar functionality on an iPod/iPhone?

Answer 1

Hate to provide what is effectively a 1 word answer, but no.

Because iPhone Safari does not use tabs, the shortcut/gesture is missing. Going into the 'other pages' screen and tapping and holding all over yeilds nothing. Simply not available using Safari.

You may have more luck with a 3rd party browser if it's an important bit of functionality to have.

Answer 2

You cannot reopen the last closed page Safari iOS iPhone/iPod directly.

But you can still use the history to retrieve recently visited pages.
