All Tabs lost on Brave iPadOS

While I have used Brave on a Windows laptop for a year or so, I wanted to begin using the browser on my iPad. I successfully established my ‘standard’ set of tabs and used the device a few times during the day. However, when I came to use it a couple of hours later all the tabs I had set up had disappeared.

I could see no method to restiore the lost tabs.

This is a dealbreaker for me. I cannot continue to use Brave on my iPad unless…

  • I get advise on how a set of lost tabs can be restored
  • The issue is acknowledged and an assurance given that the matter will be resolved.

I do not know how to reproduce this behaviour.

Brave version 1.77 (99)
iPadOS 18.4.1
iPad 8th Generation

@dc696969 thanks for your patience here. Do you remember the app crashing at any point? Can you share the steps you follow to ‘set your tabs’?

Thank you in advance for any additional info!

Hi Steeven
No, I do not recall the app crashing beforehand.
I had begun creating my ‘standard tabs’ simply by tapping the ‘+’ at the right of the tabs line, entering the URL and moving on to the next - rinse and repeat.
I then went into another app, probably Gmail, and when I returned to Brave the tabs were lost.
I have used other browsers which may crash from time to time but I am always given the opportinity to restore them when I go back in.
I hope this helps. Is this an issue reported by other iPadOS Brave users?
