On an iPhone, Safari bookmarks live inside the Safari app, behind the little book icon on the browser toolbar.

Quick Scoop

  • Open the Safari app on your iPhone.
  • On a page, look at the bottom (or top, depending on your layout) and tap the small book‑shaped icon. This opens History, Reading List, and Bookmarks.
  • In that panel, tap the book tab at the top (not the clock or glasses) to see your saved bookmarks and folders.

Step‑by‑step: Finding bookmarks

  1. Open Safari.
  2. Tap the book icon on the toolbar. On iOS 17 and recent iPhones this may be behind a “- - - ” or “≡” style menu if your layout is customized.
  1. At the top of the pop‑up, tap the book tab to switch away from History (clock icon) or Reading List (glasses icon).
  1. Scroll to see all bookmark folders; tap any folder to open the bookmarks inside.
  1. To open a bookmark, just tap its name; Safari loads that website in the current tab.

Where Favorites fit in

  • Favorites are just a special bookmarks folder that appears on the Safari start page and under the address bar.
  • When you add a bookmark, you can choose to save it into the Favorites folder so it shows up quickly on new tabs and under the URL bar.

Extra tips

  • To search your bookmarks list, open the book panel, then pull down slightly to reveal a search box and type the bookmark name.
  • To reorder or delete bookmarks, open the book panel, go to the book tab, then use Edit or touch‑and‑hold a bookmark to move, rename, or delete it.

TL;DR: Open Safari → tap the book icon → tap the book tab at the top of that menu → your iPhone bookmarks are listed there, often organized into folders and Favorites.
