Bookmarks not sync'ing between MacBook and iPhone

Yes, Apple thinks we are all reporting a "missing bookmarks" sync problem whereas it's a mis-ordered bookmarks sync problem. Since IOS 15.4.1 update, I have to re-order the bookmarks manually by "editing" one device at a time. NOTE: If all the devices are in "edit" mode at the same time, the re-ordered bookmarks will not stay in place for long. It's very tedious.

On iPhone, I reset Location & Privacy under General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset. It started syncing with my Mac and second iPhone (which had been syncing without issue only with each other).

In the morning I’ll try the reset with my iPad, which also had not been syncing.

Hello JSACKS2,

We recommend starting with the guidance from If your iCloud or Safari bookmarks aren’t syncing which can help with most bookmark syncing issues.

Have a great day!

Still having the same problem four days later, so still a bug in the iCloud synching of bookmarks :-(!

I have the same problem.

iPhone 13 Safari Bookmarks all messed up

I am also experiencing this issue. It started recently. Toggling iCloud sync for Safari temporarily resolves it, but in a short time syncing stops again.

Yep. Same here....

mine sync, but they either get added to the top or bottom of other devices. So weird

Sync between Bookmarks, Reading List, and iCloud Tabs is broken.

Experiencing the same sync problems and fruitless "solutions" mentioned by all on this thread. How do we get Apple Engineering to acknowledge and prioritize a fix for this update bug?

On the iPad, I did try turning off iCloud Safari sync and turning it back on again. That worked but the bookmarks were a little out of order. We will see if this lasts.

There is also a broken sync problem with bookmarks, Reading List, and iCloud Tabs.

Sync suddenly started working again for me!

I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence, but I reset privacy settings on my iPhone, and now it’s syncing with my other iPhone and my Mac.
