Safari is not syncing profiles between my MacBook and iPhone.

I recently purchased a new iPhone 15 Pro Max. On my previous iPhone 12 Pro, I had a number of profiles set up on Safari that were synced up between my MacBook Air and iPad Air. When I set up my new iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Safari profiles were not synced up, only the "personal" profile was available on my iPhone whereas the other profiles showed up on my MacBook and iPad but not on my iPhone. I was able to create a new "work" profile on my iPhone that did show up on my MacBook and iPad, but the pre-existing profiles I created in Safari before did not show up on the new iPhone.

Hello wyoking,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Let's verify Safari is enabled for iCloud. If it is, disable it, restart, and enable it again using these steps:

"Set up iCloud for Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
Do one of the following:

iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later: Tap Show All, then turn on Safari.
iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or earlier: Turn on Safari.

3.To see your bookmarks, Reading List, Tab Groups, and tabs open on your other devices, open Safari."

Additional details can be found here: Set up iCloud for Safari on all your devices

If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? What is your exact iOS version? Also, are other saved items from Safari syncing?

Cheers!
