Last Updated: March 29, 2019

The Share menu in Safari allows you to add a website to your Bookmarks or your Reading List. Bookmarks are sites you want to easily return to at any time, while the Reading List are pages that you want to come back to and read later. You can also add some websites and social media accounts to your Shared Links list, which acts like a news feed in Safari.

Steps

1
Tap the Safari app.
2
Navigate to the website you want to bookmark.
3
Tap the Share button. This button looks like a square with an arrow coming out the top. It can be found either at the bottom of the screen or to the right of the address bar at the top.
4
Tap "Add Bookmark." You'll find this in the second row of options in the Share menu.
5
Edit the name and address. You'll be given the opportunity to edit the name and address for the bookmark. By default, the page's title will be used as the name.
6
Tap the current location under "Location." This will expand all of your bookmark folders, allowing you to select which folder you want to save the bookmark to.^{[1]

Hold down the home button and have Siri do it for you. If not, it is the same a s a Google search.

Is there a maximum amount of bookmarks I can save in Safari on the iOS operating system?

No. Not unless you don't have enough space for them on your device, but they take up a very small amount of space, so it shouldn't be an issue.
