How to Add a Bookmark in Safari on an iPhone
Adding a website bookmark in Safari on your iPhone is simple. Follow these steps:
Go to the web page you want to bookmark and tap the action box (the icon that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it). In the pop-up menu, tap Add Bookmark. This menu also contains useful features such as printing and searching for text on the page. Edit the details about the bookmark, such as its name and location. When you’re done, tap Save. Your bookmark is saved. To use your bookmarks, tap the icon at the bottom of the Safari screen that looks like an open book. This reveals your bookmarks. Navigate through your bookmark folders to find the site you want to visit. Tap the bookmark to go to that site.
How to Sync Bookmarks Across Devices Using iCloud
When you turn on Safari syncing using iCloud, you can share bookmarks across your Apple devices. This way, bookmarking a site in Safari on one device automatically bookmarks it in Safari for all your devices. Here’s how to set it up:
On your iPhone, tap Settings Tap your name at the top of the screen and then tap iCloud. Move the Safari slider to on (green). Tap Merge. You’ve synced your iPhone bookmarks to iCloud and your other compatible devices with the same setting. Repeat these steps on your iPad and Mac (and PC, if you use the iCloud Control Panel) to keep everything in sync.
How to Sync Passwords With iCloud Keychain
It’s also possible to sync saved usernames and passwords that you use to access your online accounts. When you sync passwords using the iCloud Keychain, any username and password combinations you save in Safari on your iOS devices and Macs are stored on all devices. Here’s how:
Tap Settings and then tap your Apple ID (your name at the top of the screen). Tap iCloud. Select Keychain. Move the iCloud Keychain slider to on (green). When Safari asks whether you want to save a password when you log into a website, and you say Yes, that information is added to your iCloud Keychain. Enable this setting on all the devices you want to share the same iCloud Keychain data, and you won’t have to enter your usernames and passwords again.
How to Edit and Delete Bookmarks in Safari on an iPhone
Once your bookmarks are saved in Safari on your iPhone, edit or delete bookmarks by following these steps:
Open the bookmarks menu by tapping the open book icon. Tap the Bookmarks tab and then tap Edit. Create a new folder, or delete, rename, or reorder your bookmarks. When you’ve completed whatever changes you want to make, tap Done.
How to Add a Website Shortcut to Your iPhone Home Screen With Web Clips

To create a web clip, follow these steps:
Go to the site you want. Tap the box-and-arrow icon used to create bookmarks. In the pop-up menu, tap Add to Home Screen. Edit the name of the web clip, if you want. Tap Add. An icon is added to your home screen. Tap it to go to that site.
