In reply to Molineryan. Well said. The chrome devs are absolute knuckle heads and this is a no brainer. Functionality exists on the desktop and you can even access these sessions in the default Chrome folder on desktop. Why these can't be exposed is beyond me but I think I'm going to give up on browsing on my phone. The session functionality on Android is objectively inferior.

In reply to Molineryan. Same thing just happened to me. It's unbelievable.

There was a “reopen tab” feature that used to appear at the bottom (I think, otherwise top) of chrome when I swiped away a tab. I could have sworn it was there in Feb, maybe even early March.

I open chrome without opening a tab I have 3 dots but there is only settings, new tab, incognito tab: nothing to access history or anything similar. Once I open a tab, there are no 3 dots.
Phone updated by itself, I postponed it, without a date do it wouldn’t update. But afterwards all my tabs were gone as well as a few other handy thing

In reply to Stuart F. Taylor. Hi Stuart, which chrome version you are using? I'm currently on the latest version (96.0) and still can see the Recent Tabs menu under 3 vertical dots More options. Please check the chrome version: More options > Settings > About Chrome.

In reply to Molineryan. Hi, I can understand your frustration. However, you should consider using Chrome Bookmarks to remember the site links rather than keep them as tabs to avoid such mishaps again. It will be safe and synced across Google sign-in devices.

I had over 100 tabs opened that had species of plants and random info that I was starting to make flash cards from. My 1 year old bumped my hand as I was on Chrome making my finger hit “Close all tabs”. I am absolutely baffled as to why Chrome doesn’t have 1) a confirmation saying “Do you really want to close all tabs?” 2) A temporary overlaying undo button after closing all tabs 3) A recently closed list that can be organized by date and time tabs were closed or opened 4) an open all recently closed tabs buttons with date and time parameters that can be set. Just unbelievable how much time and effort I just lost because of these COMMON SENSE features that area missing.

Well, neither of these helps if your Android Chrome crashes. I had numerous tabs, and tab groups, probably too many. And at one moment today it just closed. Reopening it showed just my ISP homepage, no other tabs. Recently closed empty. No recovery of any kind. And history… eh.. history… it shows tabs and websites I used today. Doesn’t show tab groups I last visited a month ago. How much I lost? Too much… hurts to even think. I know I should use bookmarks, but on mobile these aren’t as handy, and tab groups came as a perfect solution. Too bad it’s (obviously) unstable. I guess this is perfect timing to switch to – Edge.
