Safari Sync issues

I have had a weird issue with syncing tab groups in various profiles across my devices in Safari.

Before this I had issues with the profile sync themselves. While I could get the profile syncing working by toggling the setting in Settings->->Saved to iCloud->See All.

That didn’t help resolve the tab group syncing issue. I tried to moved the tab to different profile, but it still wouldn’t sync. The only way to get it to sync was to create a new tab group and move the tabs over to the newly created one.

Troubleshooting that I already performed:

  • Verified that all devices were running on the latest verison of iOS,ipadOS, macOS.
  • All the devices were connected to the same apple id(obviously).
  • The sync option was enabled on all the devices in the icloud settings.
