I think it is the stupid AirTags or something. I have the same happen on my iPad. Somehow it also shows the Home App in my stats which I do not even have installed 🤷🏼‍♂️

I never do an OTA update and I stated fresh on both devices recently. Didn’t even restore from a backup.

I’ve got AirTags as well, don’t have the home app installed on my devices either, think it might be a good idea doing a clean install like @Taz Mangus suggested.

With the previous beta releases I did have to toggle off Safari under iCloud settings and then back on again. That fixed iCloud tabs for me, still working properly with this current release.

Cheers, Its finally working properly I think. Now iCloud tabs are working between iPhone and MBP and vicer versa. Including background image on startup page.

It seems Safari features vary quite a bit between iCloud accounts. Tabs and bookmarks are working for me but Frequent Sites disappeared early in iOS 15 and haven’t been seen since on any device. I’ve had some others respond to me that Frequent Sites are working for them. Those I can do without, tabs and bookmarks are very important to me. Too bad you can’t have all the features working.

Sorry, missed read your post. I thought you meant the iCloud tabs within safari itself rather than in the iCloud settings. I did what you suggested and it’s working again for me now thank you. Nothing for frequently visited though on either device but maybe that will populate over time?

This suggestion has seemed to fix my iCloud tabs between devices as well. Thanks!

On my iPhone 13PM when viewing any normal and Shared Albums I don’t have the option to add more pictures anymore (denoted by the + symbol by the bottom picture), whereas on my iPP I do. Anyone else?

Are your battery readings with NO apps running in the background, so plain iOS?

TIA!

No apps running in the background.

Always turn that feature off on all my devices, useless feature.

Do you think you could find out what version of iTunes you were using that worked? Apple has archived many old versions of iTunes here and I wouldn't mind giving an old version a try.

Hey mate, sure, the iTunes version that worked for the update is 12.12.2.2

15.4.1 is running a little too smooth for my liking, nothing to complain about. ?

I just turned on Accessibility Reduced Motion. It is a really strange effect on animations. At first I thought it was broken because of the delay.

The text marking issue is back for me again ?

Wow!!! Still there after restoring your phone 3 times. ?

I’ll let you know if it happens again.

Not sure if I like reduced motion, I’m giving it another go since you mentioned it.

See how long I last this time. ?

For whom it may help, I’ve found that Safari seems—ahem—snappier and seems to chew through less battery after breaking my years-long use of AdGuard Pro and switching to Wipr which apparently is better optimized and just feels much lighter. Granted blocking may not be as thorough as that to which I was accustomed but so far the trade-off seems quite worth it.

Also, while Adguard filters update seemingly many times a day, Wipr’s only get updated twice a week—meaning I am finally rid of the AdGuard icon on my home screen and the unhealthy habit of compulsively checking for filter updates.

P.S. Reduce motion/reduce transparency/increase contrast/bold text/button shapes/on-off labels FTW :)
