iCloud tabs not syncing

Looks like... Makes me think about, that Microsoft has better services at all. Have a look at MS Teams comparing to Facetime. It's huge.

MS Teams sucks, under Mac half-year I can’t processing AD authorization, but it’s off topic.
About subj — icloud Tabs sync isn’t fixed, but delay between syncing smaller than before.
 
Come on people, Apple is just decreasing network traffic to save electricity (they are green), much like they did by deleting the chargers from being included with new iPhones.

The last couple of days, iPad and iPhone seem to report on each other pretty well, and immediately. They have old tabs for my Mac though, which mostly seems to reflect the status of the Mac overnight, and the Mac does not see any tabs on any devices.

Just annoying. I mean it's not really a feature I rely upon, but it's nice to have working from time to time. Sometimes it's right on and in sync, sometimes it's really not in sync, and other times it's not even available.

I don't want to jinx anything but with my iPhone and MBA updated today, the tabs on each are staying current..... 🤞🏼
 
Currently working perfectly for me (between iPad and iPhone, I don’t own a Mac).
🤞🏻it’s fixed for good and doesn’t mess up after a few minutes.

Just updated my iPhone and iPad to the Public Betas released today, and the feature is working again across my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air (not on beta updates). Fingers crossed it's been properly fixed.

I do think it's getting better, although I won't say it's fixed yet. But my three devices are syncing, and even my iPhone is now showing me tabs, and it hasn't found any cloud tabs in several weeks or longer. I did have to toggle Safari on and off in my phone settings, but now they are there, and accurate.
 
I'm still on iOS/iPad OS 14.3 and macOS 11.1, and this seems to be working for me today as well.
 
Tabs from iPhone only syncing to Mac only after I force quit or minimize Safari on iPhone. Tabs from Mac sync immediately to iPhone.
 
Having iOS 14.3 and Catalina 15.7, the iCloud tabs sync fine this afternoon (in Canada)

Edit:
The feature comes handy as if you imagine you have some tabs open on your Mac, and you want to access them with your iPhone when you are on your bed.
Just hoping Apple don't break it again.
 
Allright, wow. I Think I fixed the problem!!!!!!!. At least for me. I’m very excited.
I use an ipad and an iPhone. I don’t own a MacBook Pro anymore

I tell you how I have done it.

turn off battery save on your iPhones
Go to settings, general, info, change the name of your iphone, iPad and your other iOS and macOS devices. Be sure it’s an username you never chosen before. Then go back to the homescreen.
Wait for about 2 minutes
shut down your devices one by one. No sleep mode!
wait for 1 minute
start your iPhone. Wait 1 minute after it’s fully booted. Then start the next device. Wait another 1 minute and start the other and so on.
its magic. I hope this works for you too! Please let me know.
 
I think I solved it! I have 2 MBP:s, one iPad and one iPhone, not syncing tabs at all - or just randomly.

Signed out of iMessages on the MBP:s and signed back in. Boom - all devices synced tabs instantly.
At least for now.

Exactly. I didn’t want to say anything but you are right. There are reports on other threads saying that theirs are all working without doing anything. Clearly Apple (may) have finally got a clue and decided to stop treating us with quite as much contempt as they normally do.

It's working again for me. I think they rollbacked whatever changes they made previously or they patched the problem finally.
