Bookmark a website in Safari on iPhone

Bookmark a favorite website

See your Mac bookmarks on iPhone

Tap Show All (below Apps Using iCloud), then make sure Safari is turned on.

Note: You must also have Safari turned on in iCloud settings on your Mac and be signed in with the same Apple ID . See Set up iCloud for the Safari app on all your devices in the iCloud User Guide.

Add a website icon to your Home Screen

You can add a website icon to your iPhone Home Screen for quick access.

Scroll down the list of options, then tap Add to Home Screen.

The icon appears only on the device where you add it.

Note: Some websites may ask for permission to send you notifications. You can change your notification settings at any time. See Change notification settings .

How to add bookmarks and favorites on an iPhone's Safari browser for quick access to your preferred webpages

• You can easily bookmark or favorite a webpage on an iPhone if you want to regularly return to a particular page.
• Just tap the "Share" button at the bottom of a page and then tap "Add Bookmark" to create a bookmark in your iPhone's Safari browser.
• If you save a bookmark to the Favorites folder or choose the "Add to Favorites" option, it'll appear in the Favorites list when you open a new tab in Safari.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .

Like any web browser, you can bookmark web pages you want to return to using Safari on your iPhone .

Once bookmarked, you can find these saved pages by tapping the Bookmark button at the bottom of the Safari screen.

Iphone xs (from $999 at apple), how to save a bookmark on your iphone's safari browser.

1. Start the Safari app and open a web page that you want to bookmark. 

2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow).

3. Tap "Add Bookmark."

4. On the Add Bookmark page, you can edit the name of the bookmark and even tweak the URL if necessary — just tap either of those fields and type as needed. 

5. If you want to store the bookmark in the default Favorites folder, tap "Save." If you want to choose a different folder, tap "Favorites" and then choose a folder (or create a new one) and then tap "Save."

If you save your bookmark to the default folder, it will appear in the list of favorites when you open a blank new tab in Safari, giving you fast access to commonly used web sites.

The difference between favorites and bookmarks in Safari

You might notice that when you tap the Share button, there are options to add both a bookmark and a favorite. Since the Favorites folder happens to be the default location to save bookmarks, this can be somewhat confusing. 

In reality, favorites are just a special kind of bookmark. If you save a bookmark to the Favorites folder (either using the Add Bookmark button or the "Add to Favorites" button in the Share menu), it's effectively the exact same thing as a favorite.  If you store a bookmark in a different folder, you'll need to navigate past the default Favorites folder to find them. 

Bottom line: Using the "Add to Favorites" button does the same thing as using the default folder for "Add bookmark."

How to Add Safari Bookmarks on an iPhone or iPod Touch

Create shortcuts to your favorite websites on your iOS home screen

What to Know

• Go to the URL in Safari. Tap Share > Add Bookmark or Add to Favorites . Accept the name, and select Save .
• Edit and rearrange bookmarks by tapping the Bookmarks icon at the bottom of Safari and selecting Edit beneath the list.

This article explains how to add bookmarks on an iPhone or iPod Touch using the Safari browser app. We also discuss the difference between bookmarks and favorites. Instructions apply to devices with iOS 10 and later.

How to Add Bookmarks in Safari for iPhone

To add a bookmark to Safari on your iPhone or iPod Touch:

Open Safari and go to the URL you want to bookmark.

Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the page. It looks like a box with an arrow pointing up.

In the Share menu, tap Add Bookmark . Enter a new name, if you like, or tap Save to save the bookmark under its original name.

Alternatively, press and hold the Bookmark icon (it looks like an open book) beside the Share icon and select Add Bookmark . Select Save to save the bookmark.

How to Add Favorites to Safari on an iPhone

The process for adding favorites is similar:

Open Safari and go to the URL you want to add to your Favorites list.

In the Share menu, tap Add to Favorites . Enter a new name, if you like, or tap Save to save the URL under its original name.

Safari Bookmarks vs. Favorites

People often use the words bookmarks and favorites interchangeably. However, there is a distinction between the two folders in the Safari app on the iPhone and iPod.

In iOS, a favorite is one type of bookmark. Bookmarks on an iPhone or iPod Touch appear in a default primary folder in Safari, where all bookmarked pages are stored. Anything added to this folder is accessible through the Bookmarks icon in Safari so that you can access those saved links at any time.

Favorites is a folder stored within the Bookmarks folder. It's the first folder you see when you access Bookmarks. You don't get quicker access to favorites than to bookmarks on an iPhone or iPod Touch. However, on an iPad, the favorites appear as tabs at the top of every Safari page you open, so you're one tap away from any of them. You can add additional custom folders to either folder to organize your bookmarks on any iOS device.

It's also possible to add bookmark shortcuts to the iPhone or iPod Touch home screen so that you can instantly access websites without first opening Safari.

How to Edit and Arrange Bookmarks

You can edit and arrange your bookmarks in a few ways:

• To view and organize folders and bookmarks, tap the Bookmark icon at the bottom of any Safari screen to display a list of folders, and then tap the Bookmark tab.
• To edit folders, tap a folder to open it and display the individual URLs saved in the folder, then tap Edit .
• To delete a folder or bookmark, tap the red minus next to the name.
• To rearrange folders or bookmarks, drag the three-horizontal-line icon next to each entry up or down.
• To add a folder, tap New Folder at the bottom of the editing screen.

How to Bookmark on iPhone 11 to Save Websites to a Browser

The Safari Web browser on your iPhone has a lot of different features packed into its seemingly sparse interface. Among them is both the ability to create a bookmark, then find and view those bookmarks. Our tutorial will show you how to bookmark on iPhone 11, plus how to find bookmarks on the iPhone 11 so that you can visit the sites that you have saved to the device.

How to Bookmark on iPhone in Safari

• Open Safari .
• Browse to the page to bookmark.
• Tap the Share icon.
• Select Add Bookmark .
• Name the bookmark and tap Save .

Our article continues below with additional information on bookmarking on an iPhone , including pictures of these steps.

Bookmarks combine great with your previously visited pages to find information that you read in the past. Check out our Safari browser history iPhone article for more on this feature.

If you use bookmarks on your desktop or laptop Web browser, then you are likely accustomed to opening a bookmarks folder to find your saved pages, and you probably know how to create a new one when you find a Web page that you need to remember.

But the bookmark folder on your iPhone may be a little tougher to find, and you may be wondering how to bookmark on your iPhone since the interface is a little different.

It’s tough to remember every website that you like. We use the Internet for so many things that we often visit dozens of Web pages everyday, without even realizing it. Remembering the sites that were useful or entertaining can be difficult, so it’s important to create things like bookmarks and favorites so that you can get back to the information that you need.

Creating a bookmark or favorite is something that you might be familiar with on your computer, and it’s something that you can also do on your iPhone, although the process is slightly different. Our tutorial below will show you how to create a bookmark in Safari in iOS 11 so that you can create a simple way to get back to a site that you think you will want to visit again in the future.

if you need a website for your personal hobby or business, then read our guide on how to create a website with Google Workspace .

How to Create a Favorite or Bookmark in Safari on an iPhone in iOS 11 (Guide with Pictures)

The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus in iOS 11.3. Once you complete the steps in this article you will have created a bookmark for a Web page in the Safari browser on your iPhone. You can then navigate to the bookmarks location in the browser and tap on the created bookmark to go directly to the page.

Step 1: Open the Safari browser on your iPhone.

If you don’t see the Safari icon on your Home screen then you can swipe down on the Home screen and type the word “Safari” into the Spotlight Search field.

Step 2: Navigate to the page for which you wish to create a bookmark.

Step 3: Tap the Share button in the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Step 4: Touch the Add Bookmark button.

Note that newer versions of iOS have adjusted the layout on this menu slightly, so you may need to scroll down a bit to tap Add Bookmark .

Step 5: Change the name of the bookmark if you want to.

You can also tap the Location button and choose a different location for the bookmark if you don’t want to use the current selection. Once you’re done, tap the Save button at the top-right of the screen.

You can navigate to your bookmark by tapping the Bookmarks button at the bottom of the screen. It’s the button that looks like an open book.

There are a handful of different tabs available after you tap the Bookmarks icon. The Bookmarks tab is the one at the top of the screen that looks like an open book.

If you add a bookmark and decide later that you don’t want or need it then you can tap Edit at the bottom right of this screen. This will adjust the layout of the bookmarks tab slightly and you will be able to touch the red circle next to the item that you want to delete, then you can touch the Delete button.

Now that you have created bookmarks, you might be having trouble finding them. Luckily it’s a fairly short process to do so.

The Safari icon, featuring a compass rose, is typically located on your iPhone's home screen. Tapping on this icon will open the Safari browser, ushering you into the boundless realm of the internet.

Upon opening Safari, you will be greeted by a clean and intuitive interface, designed to provide a seamless browsing experience on your iPhone. The address bar, where you can enter website URLs or conduct searches, is prominently displayed at the top of the screen. Below the address bar, you will find the main browsing area, where web pages are rendered for your viewing pleasure.

As you delve into the world of Safari, you will discover a plethora of features and functionalities that cater to your browsing needs. From tab management to reader mode, Safari offers a range of tools to enhance your browsing experience.

So, with Safari at your fingertips, let's venture forth and explore the seamless process of bookmarking a website on your iPhone, unlocking the potential to enrich your browsing experience with the touch of a button.

Once Safari is open on your iPhone, the next step in the bookmarking journey involves navigating to the website that you wish to bookmark. This process is akin to embarking on a digital expedition, where you set out to discover and capture a virtual treasure that holds significance for you.

To navigate to the desired website, you can utilize the address bar located at the top of the Safari interface. By tapping on the address bar, you can enter the URL of the website directly, allowing Safari to swiftly transport you to your chosen digital destination. Alternatively, if you have previously visited the website and it appears in your browsing history, you can access it by tapping on the history section and selecting the desired entry.

Google Chrome vs. Apple Safari: Which browser is better on Mac

• Cross-platform availability can make the switch from Chrome to Safari seamless, with data and preferences intact across devices.
• Safari's user interface impresses with a clean layout, while Google Chrome offers more customization options in its Material You makeover.
• Safari's memory usage advantage over Chrome on Mac with 8GB of RAM is a key factor to consider if performance is a concern.

As the default web browser on Mac, Safari has received a steady stream of updates over the last few years. Apple releases new builds for all its apps and services with yearly OS updates. While we applaud Safari improvements on Mac, the burning question remains the same: is it good enough to prevent users from switching to Chrome? How does it compare to everyone’s favorite web browser out there? Read our comparison post before you change the default browser on your Mac , iPhone, or iPad.

Google Chrome vs Microsoft Edge: Which browser is better?

Cross-platform availability.

Before we pit Safari against Chrome, let’s check their cross-platform availability first. After all, you won’t want to leave your web bookmarks, history, quick links, and other preferences behind when you switch to another platform.

As expected, alternating is a breeze with Chrome, since the browser is available on most smart platforms you can think of. Whether you use Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android, or ChromeOS, you are ready to surf the web with all of your personal data and a familiar interface. In contrast, Apple’s walled garden approach has limited Safari’s availability to the company’s devices only.

User interface and theme

Being the first-party app on macOS, Apple has nailed the esthetics of Safari. Let’s start with the homepage. It carries all the essential elements you need when you fire up the browser. You can check your favorites, recently closed tabs, reading list, privacy report, Siri suggestions, and even apply minimal wallpaper to the background. If it’s too busy for you, customize the entire homepage from the bottom menu. Overall, it’s not as busy as Microsoft Edge and doesn’t look as bland as Chrome’s homepage. Safari also offers a cool translucent effect at the top when you scroll through webpages. Unlike Chrome, there is no theme store to change the look and feel with a single click.

Google Chrome recently received a neat Material You makeover on the web. While Material You on Chrome matches the rest of Google services, it does look slightly out of place with other Mac apps.

Tab management

Do you often have dozens of tabs open during long research sessions? Managing and switching between them can be cumbersome after a while. Here’s where Chrome and Safari’s tab groups come into play, where you can organize relevant tabs under different groups. Safari does have a couple of additional tricks up its sleeve though.

When you create several tab groups on Safari, you can check the entire list from the vertical sidebar. Safari also lets you create different profiles to keep your browsing data separate, such as tabs, history, cookies and website data.

You can assign a different symbol, color, and separate extension list for Work, School, or Personal profiles. There is also an option to share a tab group with your iMessage contacts.

Chrome vs. Safari: Features

Let’s compare Safari and Chrome based on extension support, reading mode, and other novelty features.

Reading mode

Apple offers a seamless reading mode on Safari that you can customize with different backgrounds, fonts, and sizes. In comparison, Chrome’s reader mode leaves a lot to be desired. It opens the article in a sidebar and doesn’t necessarily hide all the distracting elements. Safari wins hands down here.

While Safari covers the essential extensions from top VPNs, password managers, and other third-party developers like Grammarly, Pocket, Raindrop, and Notion, the overall collection is still slim compared to Google Chrome.

If your workflow depends on dozens of extensions, think twice before switching from Chrome to Safari.

Seamless sharing

Shared with You is a niche Safari feature that is tightly backed in iMessage. Links shared with you in the Messages app automatically appear in the Share with You section in Safari. It is only useful for those who frequently exchange weblinks in iMessage conversations.

Instant conversion and translation

Both Safari and Chrome support instant currency conversion and basic math equations. For example, you can quickly get a final number when you type $1000 to INR or 45*3 in the address bar. Chrome goes a step further with Google Translate integration - you can simply type Hello in French and get results instantly.

Chrome vs. Safari: Password management

Both browsers offer basic password management to save your login credentials. Safari uses iCloud Passwords that can sync with all your devices. It supports autofill, Passkeys, verification codes, notes, and more.

Google Password Manager also supports notes and checkup. Like security recommendations on Safari, Chrome Password Manager’s checkup tool shows your leaked, reused, and weak passwords.

Privacy and security

The built-in standard protection on Chrome warns you of harmful files, extensions, and corrupt sites. Safari is a step ahead with iCloud Private Relay. It’s a privacy add-on for Apple One and iCloud+ subscribers to hide your IP address from websites you visit. The option is enabled by default and works silently in the background. When you visit a website in Safari, no one, including Apple, can see who you are or which sites you are visiting. It’s not as extreme as a VPN connection and doesn’t break your browsing setup. You can check out our dedicated guide if you'd like to learn more about iCloud Private Relay .

Safari also offers a privacy report that shows the number of trackers it has blocked from profiling you in the last 30 days.

Performance

When it comes to performance, you won’t find any major differences between Chrome and Safari on a high-speed internet connection. However, if your Mac has a slow network connection, you may notice that Safari can load webpages faster than Chrome, something that Avast confirmed in their dedicated speed comparison for major browsers.

While we are on the topic of performance, we should also factor in compatibility. Since Google Chrome (built on Chromium) is the most popular web browser out there, developers test and optimize their offerings for it. You may run into performance issues with specific websites (like Photopea, a web-based Photoshop alternative) on Safari.

Memory usage

Safari is a relatively lightweight web browser compared to Chrome. This is expected, since Chrome has been infamous for high RAM usage. We opened a couple of identical tabs on Chrome and Safari and checked their memory usage from the Activity Monitor. We will let the screenshot below do the talking.

Mac users with 8GB of RAM will surely appreciate Safari’s approach to memory usage.

Chrome vs. Safari: Mobile experience

Both Apple and Google have done a solid job with their iOS apps. They use a bottom bar with all the essential options. You can also use Chrome password manager as the default method to autofill login info. Chrome’s default Discover menu with news articles may irritate some users. Interestingly, Google has done a better job than Apple when it comes to widgets, as Chrome offers more widget options than Safari. Most notably, Chrome offers lock screen widgets which are missing from Safari.

Browse the web in style

Are you still unsure about the pros and cons of Chrome and Safari? Allow us to simplify the situation. Safari shines with better UI, low memory usage, and integration with other Apple apps. Chrome strikes back with cross-platform availability, rich extension support, and Google Translate integration. If you notice performance glitches while browsing the web, check CPU usage on Mac .
