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

    To enable the ability to sync open tabs across your devices, use these steps:

    1-Open Microsoft Edge.

    2-Click the Settings and more (three-dotted) button in the top-right corner.

    3-Click on Settings.

    4-Click on Profiles.

    5-Click the Sync option.

    6-Click the Turn on sync button (if applicable).

    7-Click the Confirm button.

    8-Turn on the Open tabs toggle switch.

    Once you complete the steps, repeat the steps on the other devices to start synchronizing open tabs.

    All the devices must be signed in the browser using the same Microsoft account. If you use different accounts, you can create a new profile using these instructions.

    After the feature is enabled, browse the web as always, and click the Settings and more button in the top-right corner, select the History menu, and then you’ll be able to access open tabs from other devices.

    Hi, I'm Robinson, an Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you.

    Microsoft Edge sync enables users to access their browsing data across all their signed-in devices. The data supported by sync includes:

    Favorites

    Passwords

    Addresses and more (form-fill)

    Collections

    Settings

    The sync functionality is enabled via user consent and users can turn sync on or off for each of the data types listed above.

    For more information please check this link

    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
