Do Safari bookmarks sync across devices?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

Safari bookmarks do sync across devices when using iCloud. This means that all of your bookmarks in Safari on your Mac will be automatically synced to Safari on your iOS devices, such as your iPhone or iPad.

This syncing feature is incredibly useful because it ensures that you have access to all of your bookmarks no matter which device you are using. For example, let’s say you’re browsing the internet on your Mac and come across a website that you want to bookmark for later. With iCloud syncing enabled, that bookmark will automatically appear in Safari on your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to easily access it from any of your devices.

Not only do your bookmarks sync across devices, but they also stay up to date. This means that if you add, delete, or modify a bookmark on one device, the changes will be reflected on all of your other devices. This is great for keeping your bookmarks organized and easily accessible, no matter which device you are using.

In addition to syncing bookmarks, if you’re running Mountain Lion (or a newer version of macOS) and iOS 6 (or a newer version of iOS), you can also take advantage of Safari tab syncing. This means that you can view and open Safari tabs from any of your devices. For example, let’s say you have multiple tabs open in Safari on your Mac, but you need to leave your desk and continue browsing on your iPhone. With tab syncing, you can simply open Safari on your iPhone and access all of the tabs that you had open on your Mac. This seamless integration between devices makes it easy to pick up where you left off, no matter which device you are using.

It’s worth noting that in order for Safari bookmarks and tabs to sync across devices, you will need to have iCloud enabled on all of your devices. You can do this by going to the Settings app on your iOS device and tapping on your Apple ID at the top of the screen. From there, you can navigate to the iCloud section and make sure that the Safari toggle is turned on. On your Mac, you can enable iCloud syncing by going to the System Preferences app, clicking on iCloud, and checking the box next to Safari.
