What is the difference between adding a web site as a Favorite vs Bookmark in Safari on my iPhone? Why is there both and when do I use "bookmark" vs "favorite"?
If you add it to a Favorite, then it will show on a list when you open a new tab in Safari. If you save it as a bookmark, it will only show when you tap on the Bookmarks icon. It depends on how quickly you want to access a certain site. Also, if you are syncing to the Internet Explorer bookmarks on your computer, there is a specific Favorites Bar that populates the Favorites in Safari.
