How Do I close internet tabs to free up space for new pages and sites?

Last Update date : Nov 23. 2020

The number of tabs (webpages) you can keep open at one time will depend on your device.

 

Devices with higher specifications will be able to keep more pages open than lower specification ones.

If you have the maximum number of tabs open, you will not be able to open a new tab until one of the others is closed.

TO CLOSE TABS:

1. Tap the Recent button or open the "internet" application.
