One of the mundane inconveniences of using Safari on your iPad is that open tabs tend to accumulate. If you use Safari often, it's likely that right now you have a veritable rat's nest of a dozen or more tabs open in your iPad's browser.
However, starting in iPadOS 13, you can configure your iPad to automatically close tabs in Safari after a period of time. Here's how.

How to automatically close tabs on your iPad
1. Start the Settings app.
2. Tap "Safari."
3. Tap "Close Tabs."
4. On the Close Tabs page, you can choose how frequently you want tabs to be automatically closed. You can select "After One Day," "After One Week," or "After One Month."
If you prefer, you can leave the setting on "Manually," in which case tabs will never close on their own — meaning that you will need to close unwanted tabs yourself.
