Latest update deleted all my home screen browser bookmarks

[S Loo]

I just updated my S24 and all of my browser bookmarks are gone from my home screen.  How do I get them back? Please help!

Was this a widget?

[S Loo]

Not a widget, just saved to phone book marks using Edge. I'm also using MS Launcher.

Cheers

What browser are you using?

[S Loo]

Using Edge to 'save to phone' site icons. I'm also using MS Launcher.

[kimberleigh]

Weird. I use Samsung and Edge as desktop icons too and have had the software update and didn't lose any of mine.

[S Loo]

Ya, I've updated phone as they are released, first time I've lost ALL my links.  That's years of links to all things I use...bummed out majorly.

Have you checked your browser history and bookmarks so you can possibly get them/some/most back ?

[S Loo]

Ya, thousands of pages in history. That'd take loads of time to reach for which sites I had bookmarked.  Looking for a backup now, but last  Launcher backup was about a year ago from my old S21.  Samsung backup also not helping either.  Ugh...

Now what?

[kimberleigh]

Have you tried going to settings, accounts/backup and doing a restore on Samsung Acct to see if that brings them back 🤷‍:female_sign:🤷‍:female_sign:
