How do I Delete a bookmark from my iPhone home screen?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To delete a bookmark from your iPhone home screen, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate the bookmark icon on your home screen. It may be placed alongside other app icons or in a designated folder.

2. Press and hold the bookmark icon until all the icons on your home screen start to jiggle. This indicates that you are in edit mode.

3. Look for a small “X” or “-” sign at the corner of the bookmark icon. It may vary depending on your iPhone model and iOS version.

4. Tap on the “X” or “-” sign, and a confirmation pop-up message will appear, asking if you want to delete the bookmark.

5. Confirm the deletion by tapping on “Delete” or “Remove” in the pop-up message.

6. The bookmark icon will disappear from your home screen, indicating that it has been successfully deleted.

Alternatively, you can also delete a bookmark by accessing the home screen editing mode. Here’s how:

1. Press and hold on any empty space on your home screen until the icons start to jiggle.

2. Look for a “+” sign at the top left or a page indicator at the bottom of the screen, depending on your iOS version.

3. Tap on the “+” sign or page indicator to enter the home screen editing mode.

4. Locate the bookmark icon you want to delete and tap on the “-” sign at the corner of the icon.

5. A confirmation pop-up message will appear, asking if you want to delete the bookmark.

6. Confirm the deletion by tapping on “Delete” or “Remove” in the pop-up message.

7. The bookmark icon will be removed from your home screen.

It’s worth noting that deleting a bookmark from your home screen does not permanently remove it from your device. The bookmark will still be accessible through your browser’s bookmarks or favorites menu.
