Can you sync only bookmarks and not history in iOS like you can in Android and on PC?

In Firefox for Android and the desktop browser on PC, there are Sync options to choose to sync only bookmarks and not history. Why doesn't Firefox on iOS have these options?

Hi IRCraziestTaxi, Syncing bookmarks on Firefox for iOS is not a current feature on this current release version. Stay tuned for future versions.

Thanks for replying. I misunderstood - I thought bookmarks synced from iOS could be synced back to an iOS device but not other devices.

I Still would like to know if it's possible to choose which options to sync in iOS. For instance, in Sync settings on the desktop browser, you toggle syncing individually for Tabs, Bookmarks, Passwords, History, Add-Ons, and Preferences. I do not have access to an Android device at the moment, but most if not all of those same Sync options can be toggled.

In iOS, you simply log in to your Sync account and that's it. Since bookmarks can't be synced back to your account at all, does that mean all of the other options are synced and you can't choose not to sync certain options? I would really like to be able to turn off syncing a lot of those options.
