Posted 5 years ago
I use my history quite a bit just as much as searching I always like to go back and check on things but sometimes I'm in between my iPhone and iPad or my Mac ! Sometimes I pick up a different device in another room just wished history was all sync with user ID

As Yann noted, History is a browser function, and it is stored on the device itself. Therefore, when you switch to another device the data is not available.
That said, some browsers to permit synchronizing Histories. Firefox allows the user to sync various items including History, Bookmarks and Tabs, and they have now released a version for the iPad.
Of course, this will increase data transmission, as any changes to the synced items must be uploaded to their server and then downloaded to the other device.
There may be similar functions available for other browsers; this just happens to be the one I know about.
Finally, I would note that now that IMDb is including 'source data' at the end of the URLs, the functionality of the History to show on the page which linked pages you have seen is greatly reduced.
