Questions and Answers
Not able to bookmark in iPhone 5S?
Not able to bookmark in iPhone 5S. I have tried: I entered URL
- If you are unable to create a bookmark even when finding and tapping the icon with the square and arrow pointing up, then you might have an old version of iOS. Either update it or perform a workaround: as soon as you tap on the icon with the square and arrow, tap on "Add Bookmark" (or scroll left and right to tap "More" if "Add Bookmark is not there), and then enter the name and do not tap on "DONE"! Tap on the keyboard icon instead, and it should fix the problem.
- After you open the site, swipe up so that the menu appears at the bottom. Tap on the square icon with an arrow. Then, try finding either "More", "Bookmark" or "Add Bookmark".

Now, the process is a bit different. When you are on the page, scroll the page up. Tap on the sharing icon (the square with an arrow up), and then, at the bottom, swipe the icon rows left and right until you find "Add to Home Screen". If you still do not see the option, tap on "More", which has an icon of an ellipsis.
