iCloud tabs not syncing

unkno said:
So this was reported more than a month ago (9th Nov): no acknowledgement from Apple (all green on status page), no ETA on a fix, ~20 pages of people saying '+1' and still not in the front page of macrumors or any other media for that matter. What gives?

This is pretty nuts. I agree that it's been difficult to get Apple's attention about a bug (I've been reporting the "Significant memory" notification bug in Safari for years) but with THIS many people yelling about it it's not even being acknowledged? What's going on with this company?

Anyone tried 14.3 RC released today for fix to this issue ?

I have both 14.3 and 11.1 RC and the problem is still here somehow...
In my test today, the iPhone updates the tabs of the Mac ok and fast but the Mac do not.
Either way the results are not consistent over time and the issue happens again.

Hopefully they fix it soon I was not aware how much I use this.

Same for me again and again. Since several weeks this stupid iCloud tab syncing is broken. Cannot believe, that Apple does not fix it... Come on guys!

It's so sporadic and unreliable. Just had an accurate sync showing up on my MacBook from my iPhone, so I added a tab on my iPhone to test it. And, voila, now they're all gone on my laptop and my Mac has just the generic (blank) info pop-up again.

grr this buggy sw sure is getting annoying. I've seen an issue with Siri not being able to locate my watch as well.
 
Knock on glass, but I believe they have started working again for me. I noticed yesterday that it seemed to be keeping up and I just tested it again and tabs are indeed syncing.
 
I recently purchased an ipad and am noticing that safest tabs are not syncing between my iPhone and iPad and visa verses. I have triple checked settings for iCloud and safari icloud syncing and they are all correct on both devices.
 
Same problem. Tabs are not syncing between iOS 14.2, iPadOS 14.2 and macOS 10.15.7. I have temporarily turned off Safari in iCloud settings, because seeing tabs I closed days ago is very annoying and distracting.
 
Still issue here, but it appears that sync is working for iOS devices. Just not to my MacBook Pro M1 which is new in the mix. My old iMac is showing its tabs on iOS, but neither Mac OS device shows tabs from anywhere.

Not working on my iPhones and ipads at all.
So it's not working between IOS devices.
If there is some info it's old info.

It's hard to tell, for me it seems my iPhone reports others' tabs pretty well, maybe fine at the moment. iPad is less reliable, MacBook Pro is the worst - usually shows nothing.

How can I find out where is problem if I have 2 devices ? What device I should restart, turn off icloud for safari etc...
 
Yeah, I searched some info on apple discussions and seems like widespread issue no matter if you have catalina or big sur.

I have latest catalina and safari update and iphone 12 with latest ios 14. I think that issue started when I switched to iphone 12 :confused:
 
Handoff is working between ipad and iPhone devices but tabs are a no go. dont see any tabs on either device.
