Safari not showing my bookmarked web sites.

Safari not showing my bookmarked web sites. I was working in Safari and tapped a button and all of a sudden my bookmarks are replaced telling me how many tabs I have open, private, etc.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Hi Stiles922,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. If you haven't already, test in a private and regular browsing window to see if the issue is isolated in that way. The following steps from Bookmark favorite websites in Safari on iPad - Apple Support should allow you to view current bookmarks.


View and organize your bookmarks
1. Tap the Show Sidebar button, then tap Bookmarks.
2. Tap Edit, then do any of the following:
Create a new folder: Tap New Folder at the bottom left, enter a name, then tap Done.
Move a bookmark into a folder: Tap the bookmark, tap the Location, then tap a folder. Tap the Back button to return to your bookmarks.
Delete bookmarks: Tap the Delete button.
Rename bookmarks: Tap the bookmark, enter a new name, then tap Done.
Reorder bookmarks: Touch and hold The Reorder button, then drag the bookmark to a new location.


If not, they may have been accidentally deleted. In that case, we'd recommend restoring them using this guidance from Restore your Safari bookmarks and Reading List on iCloud.com.


1. On iCloud.com, tap the App Launcher button in the toolbar, then tap Data Recovery.
2. Tap Restore Bookmarks.
3. You can sort available bookmarks by Date Deleted, Name, or Folder.
4. To the right of the version you want to restore, tap Restore.
5. There may be more versions than can be displayed. Scroll to see them all.
6. Note: Wait until iCloud finishes restoring your Safari bookmarks and Reading List before you change them. During the restore process, any changes you make aren’t saved.


All the best.
