Safari on MacBook Pro M1 doesn't sync tabs to other iCloud devices Hello Community, I have the following problem with two MacBook Pro M1 and M1Pro laptops. Syncing safari tabs to other devices via iCloud (iPhone and iPad) doesn't work. Has anyone had the same problem on M1? What solution have you found? MacOS Monterrey 12.1 Safari: Versión 15.2 (17612.3.6.1.6). Note: On MacBook Pro Intel laptops it works correctly. Regards, Rafael Vega.

Safari tabs from ios devices no longer showing on Mac Book I just noticed that my iPhone safari tabs no longer show on my MacBook. And vice-versa: my MacBook tabs no longer show on my iPhone. Same for my iPad. This used to work. I don't use the feature very often, so I can't tell when this stopped working. It might have been a while (like several weeks) I can see my MacBook favorites on the iPhone, so it looks like that syncing still works. MacBook: macOs High Sierra version: 10.13.6, Safari version 13.0.3 iPhone: iOs version 13.2.3 Could that be due to OS incompatibilities ?

Safari tabs not working I am using a MacBook Pro (running Monterey 12.4), an iPhone 13 running iOS 15.5 and an iPad Pro running iOS 15.5. All are logged into the same iCloud account, all have Safari checked in the iCloud settings and all are on the same Wi-Fi network but I cannot see any Safari tabs other than the ones on each individual device. I’ve had this problem for a couple of years and Apple Support don’t seem to have an answer. Most of the responses here just direct me to articles explaining the benefits of Safari tabs or telling me I need to switch Safari on, make sure I’m in the same iCloud account etc but I have tried all that. I did find one article that suggested I get the Debug menu in Safari and click ‘Sync iCloud history’ but this didn’t help either. is there anything else that anyone has tried that might fix this? Thx thx
