As I wanted to transfer my existing tabgoups from my iPhone/Mac to my new iPad (strange that it’s not working on its own) I shared the tabgroup as a message and opened it on my iPad. From that moment on I had shared tabgroups with a blue dot behind the individual tabs in the tabgroups and a menu bar on the top of each tab where I was able to discontinue the sharing. After a short while a noticed all tabs in the tab groups consisting of more than 400 tabs multiplied 5x.
I am using iOS 18 beta on the iPad and iOS 17.6 on my iPhone. My MacBook Pro from 2016 wasn’t used during the sharing process, but after the Desaster started I disabled tab groups on safari settings in hopes of conserving the tab group without the multiplies on my MacBook. On my MacBook i opened safari and clicked on the shared Tabgroups whereat a warning poped up that MacOsx 13 or later is required for using shared tabgroups nonetheless all tabs are multiplied… please help 😀
