When I create or rename tags in the Files app on my iPhone, the changes are not reflected on my iPad. Same when I try it the from my iPad. I thought that tags were supposed to sync across devices. All other files and folders are syncing for me in Files, just not tags. Anyone else seeing this?
 
Tags seem really buggy and not trustworthy yet in the Files app. I am having no problem syncing tags, but I find that after a while, items stop showing up when clicking on a tag search in the side bar. If I turn off iCloud Drive and then turn it back on, after a full sync, all will be good, and then slowly stuff will start disappearing again. I submitted the bug to Apple and have stopped using tags for now.
 
I’m having both these problems (tags not syncing and items not showing up when tagged). Disappointing.
