Hello,
I think I have found a problem with de Safari app on my Mac and the group tabs.
DEVICES:
I have this devices with Safari:
- iPhone 12, iOS 15 (last release).
- iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15 (last release).
- MacBook Pro, 15’’, 2019, macOS Monterey (last release).
PROBLEM:
When I started to use “group tabs” in my iPhone in iOS15 they worked perfectly in my iPhone and my iPad but the Safari app in my MacBook not, I will explain
- The title os the tabs started appearing blank, without any information.
- When I typed words in the address box spotlight didn’t search or offer suggestions.
-
If I deleted a tab in a Group Tab or a Group Tab (with all its tabs) using the Mac Safari App it didn’t synchronize with any device, the iPhone and iPad didn’t get affected by the deletion, I could access the deleted ones without problem.
-
If I deleted a tab in a Group Tab or a Group Tab (with all its tabs) using the iPhone/iPad Safari App it synchronized with all devices except the Mac Safari App, the iPhone and iPad got affected by the deletion but I could access the deleted ones without problem using the Mac Safari App.
At first the Safari app worked perfectly but after some minutes it behaved as I have said above, at first if I closed safari (Command + Q) and restarted it Safari worked fine until it crashed. Some days later restarting Safari didn’t solved anything anymore.
TESTS:
I made this tests:
Reinstalling macOS Monterey (First time)
I erased Macintosh HD in the apple store and reinstalled Monterey again.
The behavior was the same as I described above.
I didn’t make any changed in any of my devices.
Reinstalling macOS Monterey (second time)
The first thing I did was to erase all group tabs and use only the default group (iCloud).
Second, I erased Macintosh HD in the apple store (I went in case it was a known bug and to know if the kew how to solved it) and reinstalled Monterey again.
Right now the Mac Safari app is working perfectly as always.
CONCLUSION:
After my second reinstall os MacOS I think that the problem is that the Mac Safari app didn’t work well with group tabs, crashing when there is at least one Group.
I have been using my MacOS Monterey without any group tab for days and I don’t have any problem with it.
I published this situation in the apple Support Communities where you can see some pictures about this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253320220?login=true
Any changes and configurations that I tried have not worked until I deleted all group tabs.
Has someone else found this problem or know how to solve it?
Thank you.
