Safari tabs from ios devices no longer showing on Mac Book

I just noticed that my iPhone safari tabs no longer show on my MacBook. And vice-versa: my MacBook tabs no longer show on my iPhone. Same for my iPad.


This used to work. I don't use the feature very often, so I can't tell when this stopped working. It might have been a while (like several weeks)


I can see my MacBook favorites on the iPhone, so it looks like that syncing still works.


MacBook: macOs High Sierra version: 10.13.6, Safari version 13.0.3

iPhone: iOs version 13.2.3


Could that be due to OS incompatibilities ?

Others not using Catalina have posted the same problem. Based on a few posts I have read, the synced data gets encoded in IOS13, so earlier OS/IOS versions can't read the data. IOS 13 can't read data that isn't encoded.
