That is already turned on. Without it being turned on, it is obvious that no iCloud tabs will show up- even after force closing the Safari app and reopening it.
I created a separate thread about this on a couple forums as well as making several posts in this thread. Only a few replies so I think few use iCloud tabs, or gave up on them because of inconsistent behavior in the past. But I found they worked very well in ios 17 and not at all in 18 unless, as you found you force-quit Safari, or restart the device. Frequently when I’ve restarted the device I will get that “Turn On” message even though that’s been turned on for years.
Any response from Appleseed on the iCloud tab bug report submitted by you?
Thanks both! I understand this better now, sorry if I haven’t followed this previously. As you say, are not using open iCloud tabs that much…
Like I said…crickets. The Mail server issue also started with ios 18 and occurred multiple times a day every day when, at the bottom of the message list, a connection error for one or the other of my iCloud accounts would be shown and messages in that account were not downloaded even though they were downloaded on my other device and appeared properly on iCloud.com. When tapping on details in that error message I would see Cannot Connect To Server. Most days the issue would clear in a short amount of time but one day I couldn’t get messages for a couple hours in the account. When I checked my report submission in Feedback Assistant it was indicated that multiple reports had been received and a fix was in the works. They must have fixed it as I haven’t seen this now for several days. But the iCloud Tabs report shows no similar reports.
