How to export/import bookmarks - export/import bookmarks from browsers
Apple prefers to work with trusted software developers. The corporation is interested in users developing a positive opinion regarding the quality of the brand’s products. For this reason, the first successful versions of Safari were integrated into all devices. However, not everyone is comfortable with the interface of an unfamiliar application, so it is worth considering the two most used types of browsers.

Tab on iPhone

In Safari

The standard iPhone browser, Safari, can add tabs in two modes - automatic and forced. In the first case, the opening occurs independently. To do this, the user enters the query of interest on the main page in the search bar. After selecting a specific tab with the answer, it opens as a separate “window”, that is, a new tab is created.

The second method will also require going to the browser's home page. In its lower right corner the user will see a sign in the form of two squares. After clicking on it in the bottom line, which initiates a forced opening.

In Yandex

The Yandex browser, unlike the previous one, will require additional downloading. After the process is completed, you can use it by clicking on the corresponding icon that appears on the desktop.

Note! Immediately after downloading, you will be automatically prompted to open the program, but this function is only available once. To open a new tab, you need to go to the main page, where in the search bar on the right you can see an icon in the form of a square with a number inside

To create a new one, you need to click on the number. As a result, the screen will become smaller, and a white square with an uncolored “cross” inside will appear at the bottom center of the display. Clicking on it initiates the desired action, but only if the number of previously opened pages is not zero.

Many of them have long been in the public domain, however, some features may still surprise even experienced users. If you know of any other interesting features of Safari, share with others in the comments or in our Telegram chat.

Method of getting rid of unnecessary pages

What are visual bookmarks for Yandex browser

Adding tabs is not a complicated process, but after a certain address has been attached, many do not know how to fix it. This action will be quite simple, to complete it you should go through the following steps:

  • open the desired, attached element;
  • visit the settings menu, which concerns working with content of this nature;
  • select the control section and remove the desired component.

When the deleted bookmarks began to appear on the display again, it is worth assuming that the problem may be hidden in the following:

  • the user has placed a delete icon in the zone of a completely different resource;
  • the multimedia device is infected with viruses or contains extensions harmful to the functioning of the browser;
  • you need to download a newer version of the application;
  • There are technical problems that require professional troubleshooting.

With unclear problems, users can contact the service center, where the gadget will be put in order. When adding or removing new address lines, users are advised to restart not only the program, but also the gadget so that the software can effectively get into the new operating tempo. Constant software updates can ensure the correct and productive functioning of safari.

In the browser, a person will be able to use an unlimited number of tabs, delete them, move them, put them into folders, which is quite comfortable and simple. Regardless of the number of components attached, the system will be productive in terms of operation.

How to restore bookmarks in Mozilla? tips and tricks

Another equally common question is how to clear the search history in Yandex on an iPhone, as well as the Safari browser. It's no secret that while running, games and applications on mobile devices generate a large number of temporary files, occupying the device's memory. Browsers, or simply search engines, are record holders for creating cache and garbage.

Important! When there are too many files, the smartphone slows down. This is why it is very important to clear your cache regularly

How to delete history in Yandex on iPhone

To clear your browsing history in Yandex on an iPhone, you need to follow a simple sequence of actions:

  1. Open Yandex. Browser" and go to the application control panel. To do this, there are three horizontal bars in the upper right corner of the screen.

A similar algorithm of actions is applicable to all iPhone models, the main thing is that the latest version of the browser is installed on the smartphone.

How to delete history in Safari on iPhone

To clear recent requests in the built-in browser of Apple products - Safari, you need to follow the following algorithm of actions:

  1. Open the “Settings” gadget on the desktop, since deleting history will not be done in the browser itself. Of course, in Safari itself you can delete your browsing history, but the cookie and autofill data will remain intact. Deleting data through settings is a guarantee that all information will be completely cleared.
  2. In Settings, scroll down the page and tap on the Safari option. It is located in the fifth group of settings.
  3. In the Safari menu, scroll down to Clear History and Website Data. A dialog box will appear on the screen where you will need to further confirm your choice.
  4. If the button is dimmed, then you need to disable website restrictions. To do this, you need to return to the main settings menu and go to the “Basic” tab, then “Restrictions”. Enter your restrictions password and activate “Websites”. If the user has forgotten or does not know this password, then clearing the history will not be possible.
  5. If a password has been entered, then at the end you need to confirm that the user really wants to delete the browsing history.

Note! As a result of this work, information about all visited websites, autofill data and cookie information will be deleted. All batch data will be deleted from all devices paired with this

When implementing this method, you need to take into account that history deleted on a specific device will not be displayed on others that are connected to the iCloud cloud storage.

The sequence of actions looks like this:

  1. Click on the icon with the image of a book, which is located at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Go to the tab where the clock is shown. The complete history of the Safari browser should be stored here.
  3. All pages or some can be deleted selectively. To delete individual sites, you need to swipe your finger from right to left and click “Delete”. If you need to delete everything or history for a certain period of time, then you need to click “Clear” and select the most appropriate item.

How to sort tabs on iPhone

The user can organize the tabs. Such a need may arise if he has accumulated a sufficient number of tabs that need to be arranged in a certain way. To achieve this you need:

  • Launch the Safari application itself, and then go to the section of all those tabs that the user has;
  • Next, you need to open the directory with bookmarks that you need to sort correctly;
  • Now click on the “Change” button, which is located in the upper right corner;
  • Now the user can change the entire order of bookmarks that he has. This is done by simply dragging a special slider.

This way the user can change the position of bookmarks on their device.

How to View and Sort Bookmarks from Mac to iPhone

To view and later sort bookmarks on any Apple device, not just a Mac or iPhone, you need to synchronize the devices so that when data changes on one device, they automatically appear on the other. The algorithm is as follows:

  • Go to settings on your Apple device;
  • After that, enter your Apple ID in the iCloud section to have access to its settings;
  • After that, move the switch near the Safari section to the active position and that’s it!

Now the user can sort tabs on both Mac and iPhone. All actions will be exactly the same, and changes will be saved on both devices.

How to switch language on iOS

Safari's translator supports a total of 11 languages, but by default will only translate into the language you have set as your system language. But if you need to translate a web page originally written in Spanish, for example, into English or Chinese, you just have to do a little magic with the language settings. True, I hasten to warn you, this will not be entirely convenient for subsequent use, and the result will most likely be so-so.

  • Go to “Settings” - General - “Language and Region”;
  • In the “Preferred order of languages” field, select “Add a language”;

You can change the default translation language only in settings

  • Select the language you want to translate web pages into;
  • Confirm that the language settings are applied and save the changes.

It's important to understand that the Translator app itself and Safari's translation feature are only available by default in iOS 14 and are not available on earlier versions of the operating system. Despite this, Apple allows you to use special translator extensions from Google, Yandex, Microsoft, etc.

We talked about where to get them, how to install them correctly so that they work, and how to use them in a separate article. Therefore, if you are not eager to install the iOS 14 beta, this option is perfect for you.

How to quickly scroll a page in Safari

A scroll bar appears on the right side of the Safari window whenever you move around a web page.

Enlarged scroll bar allows you to scroll through the page faster

If the content you're viewing is too long, long press the scroll bar. The bar will be a little larger, and you'll be able to drag it up and down and scroll through the page at a much faster speed.

How to clear cache on iPhone

Information on how to clean an iPhone will be useful to everyone, because at some point so many temporary files will accumulate that there will simply be no space left on the device, it will begin to become “stupid” and freeze

It is better to use your megabytes to save photos, music, useful updates and other important information. You can free up space on your iPhone using built-in tools or using additional programs

Forced system reboot

All “junk” files accumulate in temporary storage, which received this name because when the device is rebooted, the data from there is erased and written again. To quickly but shallowly clear the cache, you can force a system restart more often. To do this, you need to hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time. Hold until the Apple logo appears. This will clear the cache on your iPhone as quickly as possible.

Clear Safari browser cache

The bulk of temporary data accumulates when surfing the Internet through a browser. The total size of temporary files can reach several gigabytes, so you should delete them promptly. A guide on how to quickly clear the cache on iPhone in the Safari browser:

  1. From your desktop, go to Settings.
  2. Find “Safari” and click on it.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click on “Clear history and website data.”
  4. Confirm the action.

After this, the data will be deleted from the phone, and the items above will become gray (inactive). This means that it will not be possible to run the cleanup again because this storage is empty. After such deletion, saved logins and passwords on third-party sites will be lost, and the history of visiting resources will also be erased. It is recommended to carry out such cleaning no more than once a month.

Removing unnecessary applications

To clear the cache, you can use the built-in functions of the program itself. Almost all of them offer to do this directly from the application interface, without deleting it. The disadvantage of this method is that not all data will be deleted. The iPhone operating system still saves some temporary files just in case. If the amount of occupied memory is small, this method will be enough, but for complete cleaning you should use additional software.

For deep memory processing, you should download and install the latest version of the Battery Doctor program, which can be downloaded completely free of charge to your phone. The application will automatically completely clear the storage; you just need to click on the corresponding button in the utility window. The disadvantage of this method is that progress in games may be deleted, so gamers will have to start playing them again.

Other methods and programs for cleaning an iPhone

If none of the options described above for clearing the cache on an iPhone suit you, then there are alternative options for deleting files that you can use if desired. The main task of the user is to free up space on the phone, but not lose important data. Below are ways to clear memory on an iPhone using a computer or the PhoneCleaner program.

  7. Here you should click on the option “Erase content and settings”, in the submenu you need to click “Erase iPhone”.
  8. Go to iTunes again, activate the “Restore from a copy” function.
