How many tabs do you have currently have ‘open’ on your device?

26 replies

CharliesAngles · 13/02/2024 08:10

On my phone, I have a very respectable 3.
On my tablet however, I had (!) 36…
On my work computer, I have 8, but all are work related.

How about you?

On my phone now, 87😂

cherrypickles · 13/02/2024 08:14

110 apps
59 safari tabs

Thanks OP - I may deleted some photos too!

crivit · 13/02/2024 08:15

Don't know, they stop counting at 100.

CherryMaple · 13/02/2024 08:17

On my phone, 413. Normally knocking on 500, but I bravely deleted 100 last week 😂

Laughingfaceemoji · 13/02/2024 08:18

33! I used to close them individually and it would take me forever until I realised you could close them all at once!

FastAndLast · 13/02/2024 08:19

Only 106 on my phone.

LenaLamont · 13/02/2024 08:22

44 apps - thanks for the prompt, I’ve just closed all but Safari

Hoglet70 · 13/02/2024 08:22

On my laptop now and it's 9.

BouleDeSuif · 13/02/2024 08:23

4 on my phone.

OggyBunsen · 13/02/2024 08:26

3 on my laptop - YouTube, Reddit, Mumsnet (not a work day!)

6 on my phone - 3 games, text, email, clock

On a work day I'd have: drive, email, calendar + various documents. Plus bbc news at lunchtime.

Pollllo · 13/02/2024 08:27

Not sure on phone as it stops counting on mine after 100, pc is probably around 50 spread across a couple of windows

whoateallthecookies · 13/02/2024 08:28

On my laptop, around 100. It's a long running family joke - I'm feeling much better after reading some of the other replies!

VikingLady · 13/02/2024 08:29

Oh wow, I feel so much better. Only 7 on my phone generally plus 18 internet windows. My phone lags badly if I have too much open though.

3pSweet · 13/02/2024 08:30

483 on my phone 🤦

I do identify as a hoarder.

AllCatsAreGreyRobert · 13/02/2024 08:40

Similar, normally between 480-490 tabs. Lots of them with stuff I want to read but never get round to.

CanaryCanary · 13/02/2024 08:42

200 websites on my phone. New Year’s resolution was to get all of the websites closed so I’m steadily working through them. Started on 1 jan with 499.

Kelly51 · 13/02/2024 08:43

Zero

booboo24 · 13/02/2024 08:43

9 apps and 37 tabs! The 9 apps are all while I've been up getting ready for work, as I do generally close them all each time! The 37 tabs are all things I've found to either follow up or re read - should probably use bookmarks more!

itstooearlytobeawake · 13/02/2024 08:44

Just this one. I can only have one open at a time.

cherrypickles · 13/02/2024 08:48

Can you close multiple apps in iPhone?

paristotokyo · 13/02/2024 08:51

0 on my phone as I always close the tab once I finish. Is that weird? On my iPad just 2 and that's Netflix and Amazon prime video open.. my husband however has millions open and it gives me anxiety!

CanaryCanary · 13/02/2024 12:15

@paristotokyo i don’t think that’s weird, it’s what you’re meant to do! I constantly find things online that I mean to read/look at properly but don’t have time right then, so just leave it open.

Spaghettieis · 13/02/2024 12:18

Phone, 130 🙈 but only one app!
Work computer, 12 which isn’t too bad as I was looking for multiple potential solutions to a tech issue.

FeelinSpendy · 13/02/2024 12:20

444 on my iPad!

100Roses · 13/02/2024 12:32

Phone 145
tablet 112
laptop none but only because I’m not working this week
