Bookmark Multiple Tabs in Safari on iPhone

[MacRumors]

In Safari on iPhone, it's not unusual for the number of tabs you have open to quickly get out of hand. Here's how to temporarily clean things up without losing your tabs.

If you have no use for all your open tabs, you can simply select one, then press and hold on the tabs button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This will bring up an option to "Close All [x] Tabs," X being the number open.

Using the close all tabs option is one solution for restoring order to your browser session, but that's no good if you're not finished looking at the open tabs, especially if you're busy researching a project or a vacation, let's say.

You could always bookmark the open web pages for later reference. But you don't have to bookmark each tab one by one – that could take a while depending on how many are open.

Fortunately, Safari lets you bookmark multiple tabs in a just couple of taps and save them all in a new or existing bookmark folder. Here's how it works.

Select one of your open tabs, and in the main browsing window, long press the Bookmark icon (it looks like an open book).

Once you've tapped this option, you'll be asked to save the tabs in a new bookmarks folder. You can also choose the location where you want the new folder to live.

To access your bookmarks in Safari at any time, simply tap the Bookmarks icon in the main browsing interface to reveal all of your saved favorites and folders.

Thank you. I just closed over 400 tabs!

I, like a dummy, was trying to do this on my iPad and couldn’t figure out for the life of me why I couldn’t find a solution. I guess this only works for iPhone then…

Thanks! Very useful but can't find the equivalent for iPad safari

“22 tabs” pfff… rookie numbers.

On iPad this can be found by tapping the name of your tab group in the upper left.

So tap the two squares to show all open tabs, then tap the group name in the opposite side and the option to bookmark is at the very bottom of the list.

I’m close to the tab limit at 498 tabs. FYI the tab limit is 500. This info was much needed. Knowledge is power GI Joe 😉

“In Safari on iPhone, it's not unusual for the number of tabs you have open to quickly get out of hand. “

I don’t actually have this problem on iPhone thanks to the “close tabs automatically after 1 day” feature.

I just wish there was a similar feature on macOS where I do have this problem!

I also wish macOS Safari had an option to block specific websites from opening links in new tabs. Certain websites habitually open all links in new tabs which can quickly result in dozens of tabs if you’re not careful to keep closing them.

For any one tab group.
But what’s the limit on tab groups?
Seems with 23 tabs causing mischief making a new tab group and just multi selecting the thumbnails of the pages and transferring to re group would be another option too

Hey MacRumors, please:
More useful article like this.
Less Gurman wild speculation.

Very useful tip. Did not know that this feature existed. Will try it out next time I have many tabs open on my phone.

Thanks for the tip. I honestly had no idea and am happy to say it works like a charm on iPad.
