Bookmarking a page in the Google Chrome app on your iPhone saves it so you can get back to it with two taps, and if you’re signed in to Chrome, the bookmark also appears on your computer and other devices. The option is in Chrome’s three-dot menu. This guide shows how to add a bookmark, find and open your bookmarks, organize them into folders, and sync them, on an iPhone 7 or any newer iPhone and iPad.
Quick Answer
Open the page in Chrome, tap the three dots (⋯) in the bottom-right corner (top-right on iPad), then tap Add to Bookmarks. To see your bookmarks later, tap ⋯ > Bookmarks.
How to Create a Bookmark in Chrome on iPhone
- Open the Chrome app and go to the page you want to save.
- Tap the ⋯ (More) button at the bottom right of the screen.
- Tap Add to Bookmarks. In some versions, it’s a star icon labeled Bookmark in the row at the top of the menu.
- A message confirms the bookmark was saved. Tap Edit in that message to rename it or choose a folder right away.
New bookmarks go into the Mobile Bookmarks folder by default, unless you choose another folder.
Open Your Bookmarks
- Tap ⋯ and then Bookmarks.
- Open a folder, such as Mobile Bookmarks or Bookmarks Bar (synced from your computer).
- Tap a bookmark to open it. Touch and hold for options like Open in New Tab or Open in Incognito Tab.
Use the search box at the top of the Bookmarks screen to find a bookmark by name or address.
Edit, Move or Delete a Bookmark
- Go to ⋯ > Bookmarks and open the folder.
- Touch and hold the bookmark (or tap Edit at the bottom and select it).
- Choose Edit Bookmark to change the name, URL or folder, Move to put it in another folder, or Delete to remove it.
If a page is already bookmarked, the menu shows Edit Bookmark instead of Add to Bookmarks.
Create a Bookmark Folder
- Go to ⋯ > Bookmarks.
- Open the folder where you want the new folder.
- Tap New Folder at the bottom, name it, and tap Done.
Sync Bookmarks With Your Computer
- In Chrome, tap ⋯ > Settings.
- Tap your name or Sign in to Chrome and sign in with your Google account.
- Make sure Bookmarks is turned on under Sync (or Google services > Manage sync, depending on your version).
Your iPhone bookmarks appear on your computer under Mobile bookmarks, and your computer’s bookmarks appear on the phone.
Other Ways to Save Pages
- Reading List: ⋯ > Add to Reading List saves pages you plan to read once, with an option to read offline.
- Home Screen shortcut: Chrome on iOS 16.4 and later can add a page to your Home Screen through the Share button > Add to Home Screen.
- Safari: if you use Safari instead, see how to bookmark a website on an iPhone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t I see my computer’s bookmarks on my iPhone?
Sign in to Chrome with the same Google account on both devices and turn on bookmark sync. Changes can take a few minutes to appear.
Can I bookmark a page in Incognito mode?
Yes. Bookmarks you add in an Incognito tab are saved to your regular bookmarks.
Can I import Safari bookmarks into Chrome on iPhone?
Not directly on the phone. On a Mac, import Safari bookmarks into Chrome desktop, and they’ll sync to your iPhone.
Where are Chrome bookmarks stored on iPhone?
Inside the Chrome app and, if sync is on, in your Google account. They aren’t in the Files app.
Summary
