Step 1: On your iPhone, open the Settings app, tap your profile, and then tap iCloud. Since the chances of you using Internet Explorer is quite slim (and you really shouldn't - from a security and performance standpoint), it provides the perfect opportunity to sync your Safari bookmarks without mixing them up with any existing bookmarks. It also supports the outdated Internet Explorer browser, which is weird considering the Microsoft Edge is out since a while. ICloud for Windows supports syncing bookmarks from Safari to Chrome and Firefox.
The following instructions show you how to do that on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Rather than jumping the gun, let’s start by setting up iCloud on PC, and then look into backing up bookmarks before syncing them.īacking up bookmarks on your iPhone on browsers such as Chrome or Firefox is a good idea in case any issues crop up after merging them.

To start syncing iPhone bookmarks with your PC, you need to have the iCloud for Windows app installed Once you have iCloud set up, it’s merely a matter of downloading the iCloud Bookmarks extension for Chrome or Firefox, and you are ready to go. But don’t worry - you can skip syncing your iCloud Drive or Photos to PC if you want to access to only your bookmarks. To start syncing bookmarks on your iPhone with your PC, you must have iCloud for Windows app installed. Apple officially supports that functionality, so you don't have to use any third-party apps or services. You can still use Safari and still get your bookmarks synced across to either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (sorry, Microsoft Edge fans), and vice versa. Thankfully, you don’t have to switch browsers on your iPhone to match the one on your PC. But what if you use a Windows PC instead? Safari no longer supports that platform.
If you use only Apple products, then you'll get your browsing activity synced seamlessly across devices.
On iPhone, Safari provides a top-notch browsing experience due to its tight integration into iOS.
