Note: If the Chrome browser is connected and synced with your Google account across different devices, any changes made to bookmarks in one device will reflect on the other synced devices. If you edit or delete bookmarks in Chrome on your iPhone, Chrome on your computer will also edit or delete the same bookmarks when synced.

Bottom Line

The bookmarking feature helps add the frequently visited site to the browser record, which can later be opened from the Bookmarks menu.

The Chrome app on iPhone or iPad has a bookmarking feature that allows one to access, edit, and delete the saved bookmarks. The bookmarks are synced across the connected device when signed in with the same Google account.

If you need to import the bookmarks, you must first import the bookmark file in Chrome on a computer and later sync them to Chrome on your iPhone or iPad.

  1. I am trying out Chrome on my Ipad since I use it on my laptop, however, I don’t seem to be able to see the bookmarks bar, which I am able to do in Safari on my ipad. Is this not an option?? It’ll be a dealbreaker for me so I really hope there is one!

    1. Hi Robin, due to the limited screen size in the iPhone device, most of the phone browsers do not have a feature to show a bookmark bar. Hence, you may only be able to make it visible all the time.

  2. Could you please include where these functions are found on different iPhones ?

    I think you are concentrating on on 12 and above . If there are different ways to do this on older phones please show how.

  3. I would love to see you write an article or have a YouTube about troubleshooting chrome browser problems on an iPad Pro 11 inch. My biggest issue is things I save in there seem to just disappear sometimes. I go to open the folder and it’s empty where there should’ve been two or three things, that happens often

  4. To add a bookmark to Chrome or Safari on an iPhone (iOS 15), click on the “Share” button (the box with the arrow coming out of it) and you will see the Sharing page. Scroll down a bit and you will see the “Bookmark” button.

  5. This is no fun, Chrome really dropped the ball on importing bookmarks automatically from my other chrome accounts I use via MacBook. It will only import from my personal account, not my business account, which is the reason I got this thing to begin with. LOL

  6. You should mention the aggravating part that you have to scroll scroll scroll to get to the add bookmark option. WTFriendly NOT way to bookmark. Adding bookmarks should be a PRIORITY menu item at the top. iPad chrome is a cr@p experience!

  7. I dont know what version of Ios you have writing this article but I just bought a brand new Iphone with the current version 14.4 of Ios and in chrome there is no “+bookmark” button. I also cannot find how to bookmark a webpage in firefox or apples own safari. They all only let me find something in my current list of bookmarks, not add to it.

  8. How do I make the bookmark toolbar appear across the top of the chrome app on iOS? Like in Safari, there is an option to show the bookmarks toolbar all the time. It is ridiculous that I have to click 5 extra buttons to find a bookmark every time instead of 1 click in all other browsers. I will not use chrome in my personal time because of this problem, but at work where I have to do all of my research I don’t have an option and have to use chrome. IT IS A NIGHTMARE!
