Safari

Overview

Safari makes it easy to browse websites, open multiple pages in tabs and save your favourite sites as bookmarks

Browsing

To go to a website in Safari, tap on the Website Bar and type in the website address using the on-screen keyboard. When you've finished, press the blue 'Go' button to load that website. 

​You can also type in a generic term, such as 'Lagan College', and that will search for what you've typed using Google..

The Back / Forward buttons on the top left of Safari will then let you go back and forward between pages. 
​

Tabs

​If you want to open a new page whilst keeping your current website open, you can press the '+' New Tab button to open up another tab. ​You will then see a list of your currently open Tabs along the top of Safari. Simply tap on any of your open tabs to see that page.

To close a tab, press the small 'x' on the left of any tab. If you have lots of tabs open, tap the View Tabs​ button to see all of your tabs in one single view.

​Bookmarks

To save a website as a bookmark, tap on the Share button in the toolbar, and then tap on 'Add Bookmark'.

To view your saved bookmarks, tap the View Bookmarks​ button to see a list of your saved bookmarks.

​If you want to delete a bookmark, tap on the Edit button on the bottom right of your bookmark list.
