    Safari is a pre-installed browsing app on Apple devices that lets you save web page addresses as favorites for easy access. This feature comes in handy, especially when you have to visit a site often and want to save it for later. 

    When you add the web page address as a favorite, you can find it on the Safari smart search field or in the favorite list by default. In this article, we will discuss how to add favorites on Safari and many more things related to this feature. 

    What is the “Add to Favorites” Feature on Safari?

    With the help of the favorites folder, you can easily open the web page with a tap or a click.
