one thing I love, well the only thing I notice of iOS 15 on my iPhone XS, is tap the bar and your most frequently visited sites are there. I rarely have to go into a folder.

had a problem with a work site and was told to delete cookies.

now two days later I still dont have any frequently visited sites, so I have to go into folders.

anything I can do? or just wait?
 
Tap on 3 dots at address bar and then select favorites. See below:

Talking about this?

forums.macrumors.com

Getting new iPad to re-apply icons to Favorites page (you get when hitting ‘+’ in Safari)?

Has anyone noticed this? Pretty odd that a full restore to a new iPad gets your wallpaper, your email configuration, your apps all get installed, etc, but somehow the page of Favorites don’t get the icons associated with them. I see a few get populated as I’m using the iPad but even days later...

no I am not talking about 'favourites' but 'frequently visited'

this is top of my customised start page and before I deleted cookies, had about 8 of my most visited websites just handily sitting there.

now its empty, but from googling this happens but they reappear at some future time

Am I the only person having this ? It’s really annoying as it means instead of clicking on my favourite pages with one click it takes a few clicks.

I don’t have any frequently visited sites on the current beta either. But I put the sites a l regularly visit in the favorites so they’re always there anyways.

I too am having this problem and with the latest update 15.4 hasn’t fixed it. We’re you able to get it fixed if so how?

I’m sure it’ll be fixed in the next few updates. I want to clear my cache but have so many open tabs I haven’t. I too use that feature more than anything else and sucks I have to go through my book marks to get it
 
I’ve been having the same issue seen beta 4. Been hoping they would fix it in later beta releases but no luck. I submitted a Feedback (ID FB9330395) but no response yet.
 
I don’t have any frequently visited sites on my iPhone or iPad either but I seem to recall this feature does tend to break when running a beta.
 
I had never worked properly. Not in the Mac, less in IOS. It is “smart”, meaning it has a crazy cryptic algorithm that does whatever the programmer decided. You have no control over what it is supposed to do.
 
Same issue, they disappeared after updating to 1 of the iOS 15 betas. Now on 15.1 beta 2 and they’re still gone. Even when I toggle the switch I get nothing. They will disappear and reappear on my Mac when I do this though.
 
Same here… before iOS 15 I already had an annoying issue that some of my frequently visited sites disappeared from the list on my phone despite them being my most used sites, and then they reappeared after a few days.

But never had it been the case that all frequently visited sites disappeared simultaneously, which now happened with iOS 15, and so far not a single site has returned. The whole category „Frequently visited“ to be displayed is empty… pretty frustrating to read that this already had been an issue in the beta and Apple didn’t mind fixing it so far?!
