ipad frequently visited sites won't turn off
I don't want to delete my Favorites on iPad Safari.
I do want to delete the start up page showing the frequently visited sites.
Went to System Settings - Safari - Frequently Visited Sites - selected off
BUT the still show up.
I restarted the iPad, but still showing.
I erased my iPad and restored it, and still showing.
Again, I need to keep my Favorite, but hate that start up page with all the icons. It's distracting.
What is going wrong?
iPad Air 2, iOS 13
