Favorites, IE favorites and Iphone
users can either add favorites/bookmarks to the favorite toolbar, Other favorites folder or create any other custom folder.
So... I am running Version 83.0.478.5 (Official build) dev (64-bit). I deleted all my favorites, other favorites etc. I then imported my favorites from IE. I closed Edge and reopened it and found that Other Favorites was now populated as is Favorites Bar. I ran remove duplicate favorites since I now had duplicate entries for the items in the Favorites folder. It ran and ran without stopping so I just closed it and everything seems to be fine. I have entries in Favorites and Other Favorites. I added an entry in Favorites but it did not show up on my iPhone. I see the iCloud icon address bar. What am I missing?
- So only that 1 new item doesn't show up on Safari? maybe takes more time to sync?
Ok... I figured it out. It has been ages since I retired from Microsoft and this all brings back many days of frustrations I experienced being a developer. I thought it was all behind me!! Anyway, I did not have my iPhone settings correct. Settings - Your Name at the top - iCloud - and turn on the Safari switch which I had off. The changes you add to Edge Favorites Bar goes into iPhone Favorites not Bookmarks.
- Oh nice, great
I wasn't so familiar with Safari on IOS, I only keep a Mac virtual machine on my Windows 10 for testing purposes 🙂
