If you have favorite pages and sites that you visit frequently, it makes sense to add them to Favorites in the Safari browser. This way, you'll be able to go back to them with a few taps of a finger, rather than typing in the URL or searching the web every time you want to reference them. We've already gone over how to bookmark web pages on your iPhone and iPad, as well as how to make bookmark folders.

We've already gone over how to use search suggestions in Safari and Chrome, how to use Reader mode in Safari, and how to make bookmark folders 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. 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.

Open the Safari app on your iPhone or iPad.
Navigate to the website or page you want to add to Favorites and tap the Share icon.
Tap Add to Favorites.
You'll see the page or site in Favorites; tap Done.
To find your Favorites any time you need them, open the Safari app again, and tap the Book icon.
Now, tap the website or page you'd like to visit from your Safari Favorites.
