Managing bookmarks, browsing history, and downloads in Edge on Windows 10
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
What does the tabs from other devices do?
Is it like history sync? Will it show history from my mobile device to laptop and vice versa?
Because, currently, it's blank.
Please tell me what it is.
Thanks

Everything syncs, but has the history sync been enabled on edge?
I heard it wasnt.
And in history, tabs from other devices is blank, shows no tabs, even though two tabs are open on my phone, with the same account, on edge (android). So is that a bug?
Because I've been using sync from a long time already, I use the collections, and favorites feature already.
But the history sync, just doesn't happen
