Description of the issue: no longer have quick access to mobile bookmarks via a shortcut on left hand side of screen

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. I don’t know, Brave updated and now I’ve lost global quick access to my favourites that would appear on left hand side, now I have to click on three dots bottom right corner (tab bar always showing at bottom). Then click on bookmarks. This is longer steps for no reason.

Expected result: quick access to bookmarks.

Brave Version( check About Brave): v1.73 (97)

Mobile Device details iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 18.2

Additional Information: none

Suggestions:

Go through all the Brave Browser (iOS) Settings, to see what might have changed.

Enable: Show Last Visited Bookmarks

Clear all the private data, except Saved Logins

Force Restart:

It was not removed. Please go to Settings --> Display --> Shortcut button and ensure that Bookmarks is selected.

Thank you - I didn’t have “Display” as a sub-category under settings but I did have “Shortcut button” as suggested in your third option and have turned it back on. Not sure why it randomly turned off in first place but thanks!

That randomness thing . . . on my iPhone, an occasional Brave Browser update will enable “Night mode” in the Settings. It’s a mystery.

@markpaulk it changed in the update. Originally it showed and had no way to change or remove. In the update they let us toggle to other options or choose no shortcut to display at all. It’s just as the change landed, our settings went to the new default which was nothing selected.
