Safari has suddenly stopped displaying favourites when I use task bar, not sure if it's since update. Can't resolve
 
Browser bar, address bar?
[doublepost=1478461158][/doublepost]When on safari on iPad and phone, by clicking in browser/address bar, my saved favorites are displayed, but now there is nothing on my phone.

Do you see any favorites in Safari on your phone when you go to bookmarks? Also check your Safari settings to see what the Favorties are set to point to.
 
No even though I save bookmarks nothing displays. In Safari>Settings>Favourites it indicates favourites folder which is the only option visable

are they still listed under the actual favorites page (not when you click the address bar but the icon in the lower right corner to the left of the tabs icon)?

No, the history is there but not the favourites

ok, have you tried killing safari from multitasking screen first and then re-opening?
 
iCloud went bonkers and lost your bookmarks. Do you have/use any other devices with the same iCloud account? See if they're there. If not, try to restore them on ICloud.com and cross your fingers. Happened to me too, more than one time.
 
I had this bug a couple of times on 10.0.1 but not anymore. The problem was solved by killing safari and restart the device.

If a regular restart dont work, try a hard reset.
