Strange one, but if I ask Siri a question on the watch (assuming she works that is as IOS 13/Watch 6 has made her unreliable) and she opens a Safari page (replying "this is what I found on the web"), if I lose that safari page from view, ie not manually closing it, the safari page keeps showing up through handoff on my Mac suggesting it is still open on my watch.
I have looked everywhere on the watch to close it but its invisible.

Anybody point me in the right direction to find and close the running safari page - up to now I'm having to switch my watch off and restart to get rid of it. I've tried the clicking he side switch but that doesn't show Safari.

Perhaps clear website data? Go to Settings/General/Website Data/Clear Website Data.
 
it could just be a feature

in case you want to look at the page it pulled up once you're back at your mac.
it might not be open, but just broadcasting the location.

does it go away on it's own once you're back at your mac? maybe after some delay
 
no it doesn't sadly, I can even close it on the Mac and it keeps popping back up in the Dock as a handoff safari page. Strange one!

Thanks, I'll give that a go.
