Safari tab groups lost after macOS update 26.2

I just lost all my saved tab groups on Safari after installing the latest MacOS security update 26.2. Can they be restored? Would it help if I have a Time Machine back up?

MacBook Pro (M1 Max, 2021)

The same here, after Updating iPhone to IOS 26.2 the tab groups are gone there, as well on the iPad which is still on 18.7.3 … pretty surprising & annoying. Any idea, how to get the tab groups back?

I'm having the same issue. I've also installed iPad OS 26.2 and iOS 26.2 and my tab groups aren't showing up on my iPhone or iPad either.
