Like any modern mobile browser, Safari on your iPhone or iPad has extensive management options for your saved websites, also known as Favorites, Bookmarks or Bookmarks. We explain how to manage your Favorites in iOS.
Like any browser, iOS also has the option of saving and managing favorites, also known as bookmarks. First, there's the "standard way" found in just about any self-respecting browser. If you have found a page that you want to visit again later, you can save it as a favorite. To do this - with the desired page open - tap the share button immediately to the right of the address bar. Then tap Add to favorites, edit the name if necessary and tap Keep. To view your favorites list, tap the unfolded book icon to the left of the address bar. In fact, this button leads to three options. Also in the opened panel, tap the button in the form of an open book again. To view all favorites, tap at the very top of the now for your standing list Favorites; the newly added copy can be found at the very bottom. Removing a previously added favorite is a matter of swiping the unwanted copy to the left and then clicking Delete to tap.
Organize
The major disadvantage of favorites lists has been that over time they grow into a cluttered whole. As a result, a search via Google often works a lot faster than searching through your favorites. You can bring some order to the chaos by dividing favorites into folders. This is also possible in the iOS version of Safari. In the favorites list, tap Change and then on New map. Give it a name and tap Previous. You can now drag a favorite - still in Edit mode - to the new folder via the button with the three gray bars behind a favorite. The order of favorites can also be adjusted in this way. When you're done organizing, tap Ready.
Save as 'app'
Yet it remains impractical for many favorites, experience shows. That is why you can also put shortcuts to a website on the home screen in iOS. These look like a standard app and can also be used in the same way. In other words: you can move them to an app group (folder) if you wish. To create such a link in Safari, first click the share button again - with the page you want to use open. Then tap Put on home screen, edit the name if necessary and tap add. You will now see a - usually - clearly recognizable icon with a (hopefully) equally clear name. Tap it and the page will open. Organizing your really frequently visited sites in a kind of thematic favorites folders in this way can be a relief. Of course, just make sure that you don't make dozens or more of these connections, because then it will still be quite cluttered.
