iPad iOS 17.7.7 update Lost Safari Favorites Bar

Same as above, plus Safari start page can’t be edited. It defaults to every option checked (Favorites, Frequently visited, Shared with you, Privacy report, etc.)

I like to have clean start page, with favorites bar enabled and just iCloud tabs option.

But as OP stated above, the show favorites bar is bugged / broken with 17.7.7 -AND- the start page can’t be edited. It just constantly reverts any edit settings made when closing/restarting browser. It only saves edit options for the duration of browser session.

Me too

Thank you so much for the bug report link. I've just sent a request (begged) for a fix.

Just updated my 6th Gen to iPad iOS 17.7.7 

My Safari homepage now only shows the first 2 rows of my Favouites icons. I have to click 'show all' to access the rest.

Showing Privacy report. Can only be removed if go in to customise settings.

HOWEVER...when I clear cache, history etc, the settings revert back.

So everytime I go into Safari I now have to customise my favourites page.

Everytime!!

AND I'm also missing the Favourites Bar.

What have you done?

Your 'fix' doesn't work.

Exact same situation , same failed attempted remedies.

Is there a link to join to alert apple tech to fix?

Surprised only a few of here. It’s extremely frustrating and time consuming. In past there was option to delete updated versions. Not seeing that either.

I just updated to IOS 17.7.7 and also lost the Safari Favorites Bar.

same as above and also compact tab bar no longer works in settings, forced to use separate tab bar

Same problem, hugely annoying

Same problem for me. When I reported it the bug report form doesn’t even display the new iOS 17.7.7

this is terrible testing and quality control from apple - standards have dropped

might be the beginning of the end

Same problem.

I have the same issue and thought I was going crazy. I used the bug report links listed by others in this thread. Recommend everyone do so. Something very interesting I noticed when reporting the bug. In the “choose which op version you’re using” section, 17.7.7 doesn’t even show in the drop down list. Goes from 17.7.6 to 17.7.8! What the heck. I also see many higher versions available into the 18….s. But my iPad won’t let me update to them. My software update says my IOs is up to date. Mine is iPad Pro Model NPHG2LL/A.

Thank you for the link to Apple. I’ve sent in my plea for a fix.

Same generation iPad and same issue.
