The Safari browser built into your iPhone works much like any web browser on a desktop or laptop computer – it's just "lighter," with fewer features.

One important feature that Safari retains from its computer version is the ability to save bookmarks, so you can easily return to a favorite site with a tap or two.

If you've collected bookmarks you want to delete, you can do that as well.
