Since I updated to iOS 17.4, I have had an issue with iCloud tabs. In prior iOS version, iCloud tabs worked flawlessly.
Now though, if I close all tabs and close Safari, instead my devices showing no open tabs on either device, it shows the tab(s) with the website was last viewed. There is now no way to clear the tabs.
iPad, iPadOS 17
Unfortunately, iOS 17.4.1 did not fix this issue. Please fix this soon, Apple.

Hello all,
I've had the same issue, where Safari tabs from previous months on my Mac were still apearing on my iCloud tabs on my iphone.
I've tried clearing website data, both on my iphone and Mac, closing Safari, restarting. These didn't work on their own.
What worked for me was un-syncing Safari from iCloud:
Problem solved for me. I hope it helps you all
It’s a change, presumably a bug, it iOS 17.4.
Tabs only sync to iCloud if there are any open when you close Safari. There’s no workaround, you’ll just have to live with it until Apple fixes it.
The iOS 17.5 update (released 5/13/2024) resolved the problem. iCloud tabs are syncing properly across my iPhone and iPad.
Hi, Same issue . spoke to apple care and they confirmed that in new update it should get resolved. Also there is an issue with airplay on Spotify app in car. the phone gets connected but music is not played. and then when you close the app fully and restart Spotify it starts playing. Hope apple resolves all these issues soon
This bug has been present before but not in a really long time. With that said, I turned off the feature for now.
Hi.. again after 17.5.1 its the same issue ? any facing the same issue again?
If you are expecting the iCloud tabs to show open tabs om other devices rather than a history, then report it to Apple who are not here to respond https://apple.com/feedback
