Hope these tips are useful in browsing Safari better and easily.

1) How to Scroll to the Top of Page:

• In any application, Safari included, you can automatically scroll to the top of the page by tapping on the “top bar”, which has the time, service bars, and battery. In Safari, this not only brings you to the top of the page, but also brings up the URL bar.

2) How to get different domain suffix’s:

Hold down the “.com” key for “.net, .edu, .org” keys, which will appear there.

( Note: Slide your finger from .com to .net/.edu/.org, rather than lifting and pressing.)

3) How to know the URL and Site Name:

In Safari, hold a link to see the URL and site name. This can be used to know the site name and the URL to avoid going into spam sites.

4) How to Save any Image from Safari or any Website:

To save any image from the web to your camera roll, simply press and hold the image. A menu will appear asking “Save Image” or “Cancel”. Once the image is in your camera roll, you can set it as your wallpaper.

5) How to Make a paragraph fit-to-page in Safari:

Double tap a column on Safari to fit-to-page, and make the text readable.

When browsing the Internet on your iPhone’s Safari browser, double tap any column, word, or picture to fit it’s width to your iPhone’s screen. This is extremely useful for reading blogs.

The first screenshot is the page when it firsts load. The second screenshot is the page once the main text was double tapped.

6) How to Manually select the icon image for a bookmarked webpage

This one’s a little more confusing. When you are browsing a website on your iPhone’s Safari browser and want to add its icon to your home screen, press the plus sign and select “Add to Home Screen”.

The image in the icon, however, is a screenshot of the page you were on. So if you want the icon to look a specific way, zoom in on a particular item on the page. Whether you want the website’s logo, or some picture on the page, simply zoom in on that part of the page before you press “Add to Home Screen”.

Note: This doesn’t work with all websites. Popular sites like Google have special icons for the iPhone’s home screen.

Press the + sign and choose Add to Home Screen.

Zoom in on the required part

Name the bookmark appropriately

Now that exact part of the webpage is displayed in your icon
