How many tabs do you have open

I generally think this reflects the state of my brain

Right now I have 442 tabs open on my iPhone 🤯

Only the ones I am using on my phone and laptop. I am a zero unread email person as well. It makes me itch to see ‘5631 unread emails’ on other people’s devices. How on earth do you keep track of anything important? 🤯

I've got 500 open on my iPhone !@NeighbourHitMyCar That's great to know. Where can I find that setting ?

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 10/11/2024 20:50

Christ almighty. I just have this one open in safari on phone.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 10/11/2024 20:51

None on laptops always shut down and even when using them wouldn’t have more than one or two open simultaneously

11, it used to be millions but I have a new rule not to let the tabs go into double digits. Rules are made to be broken I guess?

7,000+ unread emails though and 50 text messages.

This makes me feel better! 125 currently on phone which is worse than usual I try to keep it around 25 😂 a few months back I deleted my screenshots which were over 3,000 🙈

MrTiddlesTheCat · 10/11/2024 20:55

87 on my laptop. 10 on my phone.

usernother · 10/11/2024 20:57

Only this one.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 10/11/2024 20:59

So many that my phone has stopped counting and had turned into a smiley face where the number used to be.

For those not aware, you can set your browser on iPhone to close tabs after a certain number of days automatically

I went from having over 100 open at a time to no more than 5 or 6 and noticed a massive difference in my iPhone performance

Oh wow this is 🤩

499

LikeARunnerHo · 10/11/2024 21:05

I have 15.

I remember a few years ago I hit 500 and I was so pissed to discover that it had a limit and I couldn’t open anymore tabs🤣 now I make sure to have under 20 or so

mindutopia · 10/11/2024 21:29

16 and I thought that was really bad until now. 😂 Some of them are tasks I’ve been meaning to go back and finish from a year ago. I can’t close them because haven’t done them. But can’t bring myself to do them either. So there they stay.

I have like 10,000 unread emails though. I’ve given up on personal email.

499

I always find it annoying so I go through phases of deleting them… but alas get to 499 again quickly

NewName24 · 10/11/2024 21:45

Wow. Shock

I am staggered by this.
I thought my 8 - 12 was going to be called out as a lot.

Go into your settings and scroll down to find the safari icon. Within there is the screen shot I posted above 👌🏻

Brilliant thank you @NeighbourHitMyCar
