Microsoft Edge history and tab syncing features are finally starting to roll out

Microsoft is finally starting to roll out history and tab syncing for its Edge browser. After nearly a year since its initial release, some Microsoft Edge users now see the full web history and tab synchronization features in their browsers. The rollout is gradual, but you can check if it’s available in your country by navigating to Settings> Profiles> Sync and including “History” and “Open tabs” in the options.

Not every country still has access to the additional sync features, but we understand that the UK is one of the first markets to see the history and tabs sync initially. With these new features, Edge users can sync all web pages they have visited with additional Windows 10 or macOS devices, or even with the mobile versions of Edge for iOS and Android.

However, you need to go to the settings section on all the devices you use Edge to manually enable the history and the open tab features. This includes the mobile versions, where you also have to switch open tabs and history.

Microsoft initially launched Edge on January 15, 2020 without activating many important sync options. Expansion sync arrived in May, and Microsoft originally promised that history and the tab sync would begin this summer. The web history and tab synchronization finally started to turn into beta and dev channels of the browser at the end of November and now appears in the stable channel.

Microsoft continues to improve Edge on a regular basis, recently adding a very useful screenshot tool and a price comparison feature. Edge will also be updated soon with vertical tabs and new password breach notifications.
