Bookmarking websites on your iPad allows you to quickly access your favourite website pages without having to search for them every time. This is useful, whether you want to save a recipe, an interesting article, or a shopping site.
This handy guide shows you a couple of ways to do this, both bookmarking pages in Safari and saving a shortcut to your Home Screen. It's the same for whichever of the iPad generations you have. We've even made a video to show you exactly what to do. Enjoy.
