Hi all,

Just got a new iPhone 12 to replace my 8 Plus. Restored from iCloud backup. Everything went well. No issues. However, now I'm noticing that the Safari Frequently Visited Sites list from my 8 Plus is gone and will not populate. I've repeatedly visited certain sites to test it and the list simply does not populate on my iPhone 12. It was working fine before. I disabled the setting, power cycled then re-enabled it but it still isn't working. All I could find online were tips on how to get it working on Safari for MacOS. Anyone know how to fix it on iOS?

Thanks,
mario64

I have this issue on my X. Sometimes they show up, then they all disappear. Or I'll get one, next day I'll get four. Now, I only have one whereas earlier in the day, there were none. This doesn't happen on the desktop Safari.

Between a new device and/or a new iOS it’s always taken my recents about a week or so to repopulate. I think my iPad Pro has just gotten everything back after 14.1 was released.

I have the same problem since iOS 14. Frequently visited sites don't show up anymore, not even after two weeks. On my iPad I see none, on my iPhone I see a few occasionally.

Ok this is bizarre. Today one site appeared on my list but it is not a site I regularly visit. Sites I visit multiple times per day still don’t show. Ugh...
