iCloud Safari tabs not showing up on iPhone, but working fine on MBP and iPad

Hi, I never used to have any issues with seeing the open tabs on my MBP while using my iPhone, but now there’s nothing when I scroll down. I have no issue from the other end on my Mac, and recently got an iPad, and no issue there either. I’ve tried logging out and back in to iCloud, closing all my tabs, rebooting, etc. and nothing seems to work. Anyone have an idea what’s going on? Thanks in advance.

Try the following --

1. Delete Caches and test.

Close all windows and quit all applications.

Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select "Library" from the dropdown.

Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari

Right click the com.apple.Safari file and select "Move To Trash.

Close windows and relaunch Safari.

2. Delete com.apple.Safari.plist file and test.

Backup the Mac.

Empty the Trash.

Quit all applications.

Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select "Library" from the drop down.

Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist

Right click on it and select "Move it to Trash".

Restart. Relaunch Safari.

If this doesn’t help, “Put Back” the com.apple.Safari.plist

Right click on the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Open”.

Right click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select “Put Back”.

Did you try going to Settings/Your Name/iCloud and turn off Safari syncing? Then after a couple of minutes, turn it back on.
