iPhone Safari bookmarks disappeared

Not sure how I deleted them from my iPhone but they are still on my Mac, iCloud safari is toggled on on both, rebooted both, nothing appearing on my iPhone, tried everything I found about the issue in google, still nothing on iPhone, any ideas?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Check if you have somehow disabled favorites on your home page. Open Safari, on the home screen find the "Edit" button, see if favorites is enabled. Also check if "Use Start Page on All Devices" is enabled.


Since your Bookmarks are still on your Mac, but not on your iPhone, this could indicate a sync error.


Connect to Wi-Fi, and go back to:

Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Saved to iCloud


Disable Safari in the list. Restart iPhone, and go back and enable it again. Do the same on your Mac (Safari off, restart) to force them both to sync again. See if your bookmarks are back on your iPhone.
