iOS 18 Safari tabs not syncing via iCloud

same problem

Seems like its still an issue Dec 20 2024. None of my devices show any open tabs from the other device (mac, i phone, ipad) all on the latest update.

MacOS Sequoia 15.2

Ipad OS 18.2

Iphone IOS 18.2

Squeaky wheel - me too! iCloud tabs section not even showing on my iPad.

I'm having this issue as well. I'm not sure but as other have stated it seems to have started with iOS 18.x. I am running the public betas on my iPad and my iPhone, but not my Mac...

Now on 18.3.1, and it’s still just as broken. Apple really seems to be ignoring basic features

Fix it asap!

Same here, simply not working as intended. 🤷‍♂️ Oh Apple, please stop the AI-craze and fix the basic things.

I'm getting two zombies in particular that I just can't kill. They don't always appear, but they keep reappearing no matter how many times I close them.

Same issue here, works fine on iPhone but won’t show up on iPad at all. Tried resync on iCloud (turn off and on), tried force reset devices, restart Safari, turn on and off iCloud tabs etc.

Safari stopped updating after 17 or 18 didn't it? all my browser issues resolved with chrome. (some nice fella shared the details online but I can't find it...)

Apple support article on turning on iCloud tabs says we should:

1. Go to Settings > your name > iCloud.
2. Tap See All, next to Saved to iCloud…
3. Make sure that Safari is turned on.

I am on iOS 18.5 and that Show All now no longer offers any choices other than a toggle to “Sync this iPad”.

My iPad stopped syncing tabs recently. iCloud tabs was broken for me earlier this year. Then it started working better than ever. Now completely broken on my iPad. June5, 2025. Yes, I restarted the iPad!

On my iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 18.5, iCloud tabs is running well and that Show All command does offer all the different choices.

Same issue. Used to work fine across multiple devices and now it’s just a mess. What irony when an update breaks a previously smooth function.
