Safari’s new tab page for iPhone and iPad is a great way to quickly access your favorite websites, but it can be a bit confusing to add or remove favorites. Here’s how to do it:
- Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the three lines in the top left corner of the screen.
- Tap the “Favorites” icon at the top of the screen.
- Drag and drop any website you want to add to your favorites onto the “Add To Favorites” bar at the bottom of the screen.
- Drag and drop any website you want to remove from your favorites onto the “Remove From Favorites” bar at the bottom of the screen. ..
By default, Safari on iPhone and iPad displays a list of Favorites when you open a new window or tab. With a simple change in Settings, you can swap that list with another folder of bookmarks. Here’s how to set it up.
First, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
In “Settings,” tap “Safari.”
In “Safari” settings, tap “Favorites.”
In the list that appears, choose another folder. (If no other folders are present in the list, you can create a new folder in Safari by tapping the “Bookmarks” button, selecting “Edit,” then tapping the “New Folder” button.)
After that, tap back once, then exit Settings. The next time you open Safari to a “new tab” page, you’ll see a list of favorites pulled from the folder you just selected.
By the way, if you’d prefer having nothing listed on your new tab page in Safari, you can create an empty folder and select that instead. The next time you open a new tab, the page will be completely blank. Happy browsing!
