Browsing history not being recorded? - ipad

Troubleshooting | iOS

Hello!

So about 2 months ago my chrome (app on my ipad) just...stopped recording my browsing history. I don't remember doing or changing anything major, except maybe the basic app/system updates. I've googled the issue to no real avail. When I click the dots in the top right corner for "more" and click history, its either completely blank or the latest browsing history is from June. I use my ipad everyday so that's certainly not accurate.

If I go to the history.google.com where it says I may have other history, it only shows google associated history like searches or maps, nothing else, no site visits or well, browsing history.

This issue seems to be ipad specific--on my phone, browsing history is recording like normal. I actually went to check if the issue was still going while typing this and saw history is showing up again, but its only the history from my phone. Nothing from my ipad is popping up. At the top of the page Web & App Activity are turned on (have also tried toggling it to no avail.)

Not a huge issue, but an annoying one when I'm trying to find a webpage I only accessed on my ipad and it seems to have disappeared from existence. Hoping someone here can help me figure it out! TIA.
