If you have lost bookmarks, you can attempt the following steps to perform a manual recovery. This may not work in all situations however. Note that while this process may be considered "advanced" for some users, we've simplified the steps as much as possible so that any should be able to follow them. However,  if you need assistance please contact us on our community website and we'd be more than happy to assist you.

To attempt your bookmark recovery:

1. On your iOS device, go to the Files app (this is a default app provided by Apple, and can be installed for free via the App Store, if it is not present on your device)
2. Go to On My iPhone --> Brave
   
       
3. If your bookmarks are recoverable you should see three files titled Brave
4. Transfer these to your computer using whatever method you prefer (e.g. airdrop, email, messages)
       
   
5. Once on your computer, identify the single file titled Brave.sqlite
   
   
6. Backup/save this file somewhere safe. Note that you can safely ignore the other two files Brave.sqlite-shm and Brave.sqlite-wal
7. Assuming you are on macOS, open Terminal (an application that comes pre-installed)
8. Run the following command in your terminal (only replacing the part `<>` part):

   (cd <path to Brave.sqlite> && sqlite3 Brave.sqlite "SELECT ZURL FROM ZBOOKMARK" >> bookmark_list.txt)

   Here is an example of what your command should look like in the terminal:
   

9. This will save all of your bookmark URLs into the file titled bookmark_list.txt inside the same folder as Brave.sqlite
