Pinning Safari on your iPhone’s Home Screen or within Safari itself can make accessing your favorite websites faster and more convenient. If you want to pin Safari to your Dock, simply press and hold the Safari icon, then drag it to the Dock for quick access.

Key Highlights: Pin Safari to the iPhone Home Screen

  • Pin Websites to Home Screen: Use Safari to visit a website, tap the Share icon, and select Add to Home Screen for quick access to your favorite sites.
  • Customize Shortcut Name: When adding a website to the Home Screen, you can edit the shortcut’s name for easy identification.
  • Use Bookmarks: Save websites as bookmarks in Safari for easy access from the Bookmarks icon in the browser.
  • Organize with Tab Groups (iOS 15 and Later): Create Tab Groups in Safari to organize multiple websites and access them quickly.
  • Set Safari as Default Browser: If you’ve changed your default browser, go to Settings > Safari > Default Browser App to set Safari as the default.
  • Offline Access: Pinned websites function like apps, providing faster access even when Safari isn't open.
