Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to manage & delete bookmarks in safari on iphone & ipad.

If you own an iPhone or iPad, chances are, you use Safari to browse the internet. It comes pre-installed on all iOS and iPadOS devices and it just works flawlessly. Like any other web browser, Safari allows you to bookmark countless web pages that you scroll through, and it even syncs them across all your Apple devices using iCloud.

Although bookmarking is a pretty basic feature today, most people don’t really seem to utilize it properly. Keeping your bookmarks organized is key, especially if you browse through hundreds of web pages on a daily basis. Every web browser handles bookmarks slightly differently, but you’ll be pleased to know it’s fairly simple to manage bookmarks in Safari.

If you are looking to learn how you can keep your bookmarks organized on your iPhone or iPad, then read on to learn how you can manage and delete bookmarks in Safari on iPhone & iPad.

Safari makes it easy to organize your bookmarks with the help of folders. For example, if you wanted to manage all your bookmarks for tech-related web pages, you could create a folder and group them all in one place. Interested? Without further ado, let’s take a look at the necessary steps.

Now you should have a better idea and understanding on how to go about managing and deleting bookmarks within Safari on your iPhone and iPad.

If you use iCloud, you’ll notice that all these changes have synced across all your Apple devices once you switch between them too, including between Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices, as long as they’re all using the same Apple ID.

Accessing certain web pages become a lot more convenient with the help of bookmarks, as it eliminates the need to scrounge through your browsing history to find that one link you’re looking to access. For example, if you’re trying to track your shipment on Amazon, you could simply bookmark the web page, so you don’t have to enter your tracking number every single time you visit their site for updates.

By default, Safari has a favorites folder that stores some of your favorite web pages as bookmarks and displays them as icons in the homepage. If you were to move your bookmarks to this folder, you’ll be able to access them right as you open the browser. Adding web pages to Safari’s favorite section is fairly simple and similar as well.

On the other hand, frequently visited sites are automatically organized by Safari depending on your browsing history, but they can be deleted if you don’t want it to display certain websites.

Did you manage to organize all your bookmarks with the help of folders in Safari on your iPhone and iPad? How do you feel about the way Safari handles Bookmarks on iOS? Are Bookmarks really something you use on a daily basis? Let us know what your experience and thoughts are in the comments.

I was looking to delete multiple bookmarks on the iPad Safari. This article lacked that one feature.

You can delete as many bookmarks as you want in Safari for iPad. Just swipe onto them and choose delete.

I would like to delete multiple bookmarks at one time, not by swiping on each individually. I didn’t see a way to do that described in this post. Did I miss something?

How to manage and delete Bookmarks in Safari on Mac and iPhone

by Jonny Evans · Published January 4, 2019 · Updated April 15, 2021

We all use bookmarks online, but managing them takes a little effort. Photo by Chiara F on Unsplash

I received a memo from the “ It’s Only Obvious If You Know How It Is Done ” Department this morning pointing out how something that should be incredibly simple to do is actually relatively hard to figure out – how do you delete Bookmarks in Safari?

You have to save the bookmarks first

On a Mac, you can save new bookmarks in lots of ways:

• Tap the Share icon and choose Add Bookmark .
• Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Add Bookmark there.
• Hover your cursor in Safari’s Smart Search field (where the URL is) until the Plus (+) button appears, move your cursor to that plus button and tap and hold the plus . You will then be able to choose a Bookmarks folder in which to stash the URL.
• Use the Add Boomark menu in your Safari toolbar if you’ve figured out that you can customize those tools by pressing Control while clicking on the bar and choosing Customize Toolbar .
• On iOS just use the Share icon and choose Add Bookmark .

How to manage and delete Bookmarks in Safari

Now you have a bunch of Bookmarks, you’d imagine it would be easy to delete or otherwise manage them, right?

Your bookmarks folders may seem a little different

To an extent, it is. On iOS, at least. Open your Bookmarks folder, tap Edit, and you can delete bookmarks by tapping the red icon, move them into a new order by tapping and dragging the three-line ‘burger’ icon to the right of the name, or tap a bookmark to change its name, URL in the next window, or tap Location to easily stash that item in a different folder.

That’s iOS.

WWDC: How to use Safari’s brand-new Start page kofiwidget2.init('Please Support AppleMust', '#e02869', 'G2G06KJSL');kofiwidget2.draw();

On a Mac, there are two ways:

Open the Bookmarks Menu, select Edit Bookmarks and you will be able to move and rename those marks on the next page. To delete a bookmark, select it and tap the BackSpace key, or choose Delete in the Edit menu .

Alternatively, you can open the Safari Sidebar and then tap the book icon to access your Bookmarks. Select a bookmark and you can move it using your cursor – but how do you delete it?

Select the item again, only this time press the Control key. So, hover your cursor above the bookmark item in the Sidebar and then press Control at the same time as you click. A new contextual menu appears in which you can open the website, change its name or URL, pop it into a folder or tap Delete to delete the Bookmark.

Tip:  Want to delete all your bookmarks fast? (You’ll regret it, so don’t do it). Just click the top bookmark, scroll down to the bottom of the list, and  tap the final bookmark while also pressing the Shift button. Then click backspace . Please don’t delete all your bookmarks unless you really want to do so, but if you do so accidentally, I recommend tapping Command-Z (Undo) as your very next action.

Sure hope this helps 🙂

• Using Apple's Safari browser, you can easily bookmark your favorite websites on an iPad .

The version of Safari you have on your iPad has some nifty features that make web browsing convenient and easy.

You can add any webpage as a bookmark, and even turn your favorite websites into buttons on your home screen to access with a single click, like you would an app.

How to set and delete a bookmark in Safari on iPad

Creating a bookmark on your iPad takes just a few steps.

1. Open the webpage you want to bookmark in Safari.

2. Press and hold the bookmark icon on the upper left of the screen.

3. A box will pop down that gives you the option to add the page to your reading list or add a bookmark. Choose "Add Bookmark."

4. Another box pops down that gives you options for where to save your bookmark. The default is Favorites. When you add a bookmark to Favorites, its icon appears on your screen every time you open a new Safari tab. A drop down box with your favorites also appears when you tap into the search field. You can open a favorite by touching the icon. Your other basic location option is a folder called Bookmarks. Tap "Location" and a list of available locations for your bookmark will drop down.

You can also create a bookmark using the share icon on the upper right corner of your screen.

2. Tap the share icon. A box drops down with sharing options. Drag the bottom line to the left to see bookmarking options.

3. Choose "Add Bookmark" to add to your bookmarks. A box will drop down that allows you to choose your bookmark location.

4. If you know you want to add the bookmark to your favorites, tap the "Add to Favorites" icon from the bottom line of the drop-down menu.

5. Tap "Save" to save your bookmark.

You can toggle a list of your bookmarks on the left side of your browser screen by tapping the bookmarks icon. To delete a bookmark, simply swipe left on the line with the website name. A red Delete box will appear. Click "Delete" and the bookmark will disappear.

How to organize your bookmarks

To change the order of your bookmarks, open Bookmarks by tapping the icon. Touch and hold a bookmark and drag it up or down.

If you have a lot of bookmarks, you may want to organize them into folders. You can put a folder in Favorites, so it will appear in each new browser window.

1. Tap the bookmark icon to display your bookmarks.

2. Tap "Edit" at the bottom right of your bookmarks list.

3. New Folder will appear at the bottom left. Tap that.

4. Name your new folder and choose its location. The default location is Favorites. Tap Location for a drop-down list of possible locations. Favorites and Bookmarks are the two locations where all bookmarks live. If you don't want your folder to appear on the Favorites page, choose Bookmarks at the location.

5. Your folders will appear in the locations dropdown menu. You can add new bookmarks and new subfolders to your existing folders. To add an existing bookmark to a new folder, tap the sharing icon, then tap the Add Bookmark icon. The drop-down box will let you edit your bookmark location. You can also edit bookmark location in the bookmarks list on the right of your screen.

How to sync your iPad bookmarks across your other Apple devices

If you use the Safari browser on your Mac , iPhone , or other Apple devices, you can use the same bookmarks, including your favorites, as your iPad . All devices must be signed into the same iCloud account to share bookmarks.

1. Go to the Settings app and tap the box with your name at the top of the list.

2. Tap iCloud.

3. Scroll down to Safari and flip the switch to green to turn sharing on. If you have bookmarks on your iPad, you'll be asked to merge your local bookmarks. Note: if you later turn off sharing on you iPad, you'll lose the local bookmarks you set up before you turned sharing on.

You can also turn a webpage browser window into an icon on your iPad home screen.

1. Open the webpage for which you want an icon.

2. Tap the sharing icon at the top right side of the screen.

3. A box will appear with sharing options. Drag the bottom row to the left until you see the Add to Home Screen icon. Tap this icon.

4. An icon will appear on your home screen. When you tap it, you'll be taken to a browser window for the webpage.

• Extra: Delete or Edit Safari Bookmarks

The Safari web browser on your iPad supports bookmarks so that you can quickly return to your favorite websites. You can make Safari bookmarks whenever you want, or remove old bookmarks to de-clutter your browser .

Bookmarking on your iPad is done directly from the Safari app, and you can do it in seconds from any web page. Once you've made a Safari bookmark, you can access it from the bookmarks pop-out menu or from a new tab.

The screenshots in the steps below are of Safari in iOS 12 , but the written steps should work for other versions of iOS , too, including iOS 13 .

Bookmarks work in both regular mode and Private Browsing Mode , but the bookmarks you create during a private browsing session are stored along with the pages saved in normal mode. In other words, there isn't a separate area for private bookmarks.

How to Bookmark a Website in Safari

The key to saving a website as a bookmark in Safari is the share button .

Visit the web page you want to bookmark in Safari.

Tap the share button to the right of the address bar at the top of Safari, and select Add Bookmark .

If you don't see the address bar or the share button at the top of Safari, scroll to the very top of the page. This will automatically show the entire menu.

Change the name of the bookmark if you want, otherwise you can keep it as the default, auto-generated name.

You can also use this time to pick a different bookmark folder. To make a new one now, tap the folder listed under LOCATION and then choose New Folder . To make multiple folders one after another, see the tutorial further on down this page.

Choose Save to make the Safari bookmark.

How to Find Your Safari Bookmarks

The bookmarks you make in Safari are stored in the Favorites folder by default, which you can access by selecting the bookmark button (represented by an open book icon) on the left of the address bar.

Another way to access bookmarks on your iPad is to open a new browser tab with the plus sign at the top right corner of the app . In the new tab is a list of sites in the Favorites folder as well as a side panel of all your other custom bookmark folders.

Bookmarks you've added to your home screen are just icons on the home screen, resembling any other app. You can even move them around like other apps , too.

How to Add a Safari Bookmark to Your iPad Home Screen

Bookmarks can also be added directly on your home screen so that you can open them immediately without having to launch Safari first. When you tap a home screen bookmark, it immediately opens in Safari.

To do this, tap the share button on the right side of the address bar and choose Add to Home Screen . Name the bookmark whatever you want, and then tap Add .

How to Add Custom Bookmark Folders in Safari

The default folder for bookmarks on your iPad is called Favorites , but you can organize your saved pages into other folders, too.

Select the bookmarks button (the open book icon) at the top left of Safari. If you don't see this menu, scroll to the very top of the page.

From the bookmarks tab, tap Edit at the bottom.

Select New Folder .

Name the folder something memorable.

If you have other folders already created, you can nest one folder within another by selecting the other folder at this time.

Tap Done on the keyboard to save the folder, and then Done once more from the Bookmarks menu.

You can now tap the bookmark button to toggle it off and return to the web page.

How to Delete or Edit Safari Bookmarks on iPad

It's unlikely that every bookmark you ever create will stay forever. Maybe you've come to find out that you don't use it as often as you thought you would, or maybe the site is no longer online. You can edit or delete these bookmarks at any time.

Just open the bookmarks menu and tap Edit to see a red minus button that you can use to delete folders you've made or bookmarks you've created. Tap Delete to confirm.

To edit a bookmark or folder name, follow the same steps but select the item itself instead of the red icon, and then make the name change as you see fit.

Hi there - I have just upgraded to Mac OS High Sierra and would like to start using Safari again. When I tried to get rid of all the existing bookmarks in Safari to replace them with my Firefox bookmarks, I tried your suggestion above and it didn't work... Furthermore the Delete option in the Edit menu is greyed out... Has this option been removed with the upgrade to High Sierra? Thanks for your help!

How to Bookmark on iPad

B ookmarking websites on your iPad allows you to quickly access your favourite website pages without having to search for them every time. This is useful, whether you want to save a recipe, an interesting article, or a shopping site. 

This handy guide shows you a couple of ways to do this, both bookmarking pages in Safari and saving a shortcut to your Home Screen. It's the same for whichever of the iPad generations you have. We've even made a video to show you exactly what to do. Enjoy.

How to Bookmark a website to your iPad

Plinky is an app for you to collect and organize links easily

The internet is full of cool websites, and some of them are so interesting and useful, it’s no wonder people want to save them for posterity. Bookmark managers, notes apps, and read-it-later services like Pocket are great for collecting and organizing links, but the fact is there are too many links across too many platforms and apps to keep track of easily.

A former Twitter engineer, Joe Fabisevich, has built an app called Plinky that aims to tackle that problem with a new approach that prioritizes customization.

Available for iPhones, iPads, and Apple silicon Macs, Plinky lets you save links to web pages, apps, videos, images and even app stores; label them neatly; and organize them in different folders. You can customize these labels and folders, and even how a link shows up in the app. Additionally, you can search for links and pin them for easy access.

You can easily set the app as a favorite in the Share menu to quickly share a link from anywhere — inside browsers, other apps, messengers. It’s easy to save a link with just a few taps, and I liked the save animation, too.

Fabisevich told TechCrunch he was inspired to build the app because he used to send his fiancée a ton of links — tweets, articles, videos and memes. While she loved the gesture, she found it distracting and asked him to save some of them for later. That’s when Fabisevich started working on Plinky.

The founder feels that the ethos of a link-saving app should be to make the process easy. He noted that apps like Pocket and Instapaper are great for reading, but links often have video and photos, and those apps might not be well-suited for consuming multimedia.

Fabisevich has also built extensions for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, as well as integrations with RSS reader Unread, iOS Shortcuts, and Zapier. There is an open API, too, that third-party developers can use to build integration for more surfaces.

The free version lets you save up to 50 links and create up to five labels and three folders. To remove these limits, you can pay $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year. Or you can buy lifetime access for $159.99.

In terms of features, Plinky falls short when compared with Raindrop, a popular bookmarking app, which offers Android, Mac (Intel), and Windows apps, too. Raindrop offers more integrations and its free tier lets you save any number of links and bookmarks. However, Raindrop doesn’t play well with YouTube and App Store links, as they open through its in-app browser rather than redirecting you to the native app — a problem Plinky solves better.

Plinky offers a much better solution than saving links through a browser’s bookmark manager, given that it’s easier to organize links in the app with folders and labels.

Fabisevich said he has used Raindrop, but wanted to build a solution anyone can use. “In their own words, Raindrop is ‘designed for creatives, built for coders,’” he said. “While I love that, being both, that’s a very small slice of people who would benefit from having a universal inbox for their links.”

“From the first time you save a link in Plinky, you can see that the app does its job and gets out of the way. It’s a different approach than Raindrop, which requires you to think about categorization right from the start.”

What’s next for Plinky?

In the coming months, Fabisevich wants to build better organizational and customization features for the app.

He wants to make it easy for people to import links from existing services like GoodLinks, Raindrop, and Pocket, where they might already have a library of bookmarks and clippings.

The founder also aims to add secure folders for saving sensitive links, an in-app reading experience, and the ability to add reminders for links that you may want to read later. He also wants to build a native Mac app since the current one is just an iPad app that’s only compatible with MacOS devices that run on Apple’s own chips.

I liked it that the app’s support section has a list of upcoming features that users can vote on. The features with the most votes will be built first.

In the long-term, Fabisevich wants to build more personalized workflows to save and prioritize links, along with a better search experience.

Note: Wait until iCloud finishes restoring your Safari bookmarks before you change them. During the restore process, any changes you make aren’t saved.

The restored bookmarks appear on all your devices that have Safari turned on in iCloud settings .

If you change your mind, you can restore the Safari bookmarks you were using. Just follow the steps above to restore the most recent version available.
