This wikiHow will show you how to delete bookmarks from popular browsers on iPhone, including Safari and Chrome. The process is simple for both popular web browsers and involves opening the settings options inside the browser app.
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:Deleting Bookmarks from Safari
-
1Open Safari. This app icon looks like a blue compass with a red and white red needle that you can find on one of your Home screens or in the Dock.
-
2Tap the bookmark icon that looks like an open book. You'll see this at the bottom of the web browser.
-
3Tap the bookmarks tab that looks like an open book (if not already selected). If you already are on the bookmark tab and see all your bookmarks, you can skip this step.
- The tab will highlight in blue when it's selected.
-
4Tap Edit. You'll see this in the bottom right corner of your screen.
- If the bookmark you want to delete is in a folder, you'll need to tap the folder to see inside it, then tap Edit.

-

-
2Tap ••• . You'll see this in the top right corner of the web browser.
-
3Tap Bookmarks. This will open your list of bookmarks between all your platforms.
- For example, if you don't have sync enabled, you won't see your desktop bookmarks. You'll immediately open a folder of your local, mobile bookmarks. To enable sync, you can look at How to Enable Sync in Google Chrome so you can edit your desktop's bookmarks from your iPhone.
-
4Tap the folder containing the bookmark you want to delete (if you see a list of folders). If you don't see a list of folders, but see bookmarks instead, you can skip this step.
-
5Swipe a bookmark to the left to delete it. If you want to delete more than one bookmark at a time, you'll see "Select" and you can tap to select bookmarks then tap "Delete."[2]
- The page will disappear from your bookmarks list.
