How to Add Favorites to Safari on Your iPhone or iPad

We've already gone over how to use search suggestions in Safari and Chrome and how to use Reader mode in Safari. For more great Safari navigation tips, check out our free Tip of the Day. Now, let's go over how to add Favorites to Safari.

There are a few ways to save pages from the Safari browser for future reference. We've shown you how to save articles and pages to a reading list, so that you can read them on or offline, and how to make bookmark folders in Safari. Now, let's go over how to add Favorites on your iPhone so you can easily visit your favorite pages.

Note: When you bookmark a page on your iPhone or iPad, the page is automatically saved to Favorites, but not every page I want to bookmark is actually one of my favorite sites or pages. My solution is to organize my regular bookmarks into bookmark folders by category, and save Favorites for my most frequently visited pages and websites. 

1. Open the Safari app on your iPhone or iPad.
   
   
    
2. Navigate to the website or page you want to add to Favorites and tap the Share icon. 
   
   
    
3. Swipe up to find the Favorites option.
   
   
    
4. Tap Add to Favorites.
   
   
5. If you'd like, you can name your new Favorite to more easily identify it.
   
   
    
6. Tap Save.
   
   

How to Find Safari Favorites on iPhone or iPad

After you've added to your Favorites list on your iPhone or iPad, here's how to find those Favorites:

2. Tap and hold the tabs icon.
   
   
    
3. Tap New Tab.
   
   
    
4. This will bring you to the Safari start page. You'll see your Favorites listed at the top.
   
   
    
5. To see all Favorites, tap the Bookmarks icon.
