Safari on your Apple device has a function that allows you to quickly save a page you are reading in order to either view it later offline or on another device. This app is called Reading List. This article will walk you through the process of saving a page to your Safari Reading List on either your phone or Apple computer. While the processes are very similar, there are subtle differences between each device.

Steps

  5. View your Reading List. To view your reading list tab the book icon that can be found to the right of the action icon. Then press the Reading List, or glasses, icon.
