i have below code after opening multiple tabs i want to switch to parent tab, below isn't working, TIA

VBA Code:
Sub tabs()
bot.Get "https://www.google.com/"

For i = 1 To 3
bot.ExecuteScript "window.open('https://www.wikipedia.com')"

bot.Wait 300
bot.SwitchToNextWindow

bot.FindElementByXPath("//input[@id='searchInput']").SendKeys "ImranKhan"

bot.Wait 200

bot.FindElementByXPath("//i[@class='sprite svg-search-icon']").Click

Next i
bot.SwitchToParentFrame
'bot.SwitchToPreviousWindow

bot.FindElementByXPath("//textarea[@class='gLFyf']").SendKeys "nabeelGondal"
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Do you mean switch to the first tab? If so, try:
VBA Code:
    bot.SwitchToWindowByTitle "Google"

Oddly, the following equivalent doesn't work:
VBA Code:
    bot.SwitchToWindowByTitle bot.Windows(1).Title
It flashes between tabs 2-4 and errors out with "Window not found: Google".

this works >>
bot.SwitchToWindowByTitle "Google"

base on your second idea below works.

bot.Windows(1).Activate
