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