Bookmark a Webpage in Samsung Browser: Step-by-Step

Bookmarking a webpage in Samsung Internet lets you save your favorite sites for one-tap access later, without typing the URL again. This guide walks you through the exact taps on your phone, including how to organize bookmarks, edit them, and fix common issues. You only need your Samsung phone with the Samsung Internet browser installed (it comes pre-installed on most Galaxy devices).

What You’ll Need

• A Samsung phone or tablet with Samsung Internet (usually pre-installed)
• The webpage you want to bookmark already open in the browser
• Optional: a Samsung account for syncing bookmarks across devices

Step-by-Step

1. Open Samsung Internet. Tap the Samsung Internet icon (a blue globe with a small “S” or a white compass-like symbol) on your home screen or app drawer.
2. Go to the page you want to bookmark. Type the URL in the address bar at the top, or tap a link from another app that opens in Samsung Internet. Wait for the page to fully load.
3. Tap the Menu (three vertical lines) icon. It’s located at the bottom-right corner of the screen (or top-right on tablets). This opens a pop-up menu with several options.
4. Tap the star icon (Bookmark). In the menu, look for a star icon labeled “Bookmark” or “Add bookmark.” It’s usually near the top of the list. Tapping it opens a small dialog box.
5. Edit the bookmark details (optional). In the dialog box, you can change the Name (the title shown for the bookmark) and the Address (the URL). You can also choose a Folder to save it in – tap “Folder” and select an existing folder or tap “New folder” to create one.
6. Tap “Save.” The button is usually at the bottom of the dialog box. After tapping, the star icon in the menu will turn solid (filled) to indicate the page is bookmarked.
7. Access your bookmarks later. To see your saved bookmarks, tap the Menu icon again and select “Bookmarks” (the star icon at the top of the menu). You’ll see a list of all saved pages. Tap any bookmark to open it.

Common Mistakes

• Tapping the wrong star. Some pages have a star icon in the address bar itself – that also works, but if you tap the star in the menu, you get the full editing dialog. Both are fine, but be consistent.
• Not waiting for the page to load. If you bookmark before the page finishes loading, the bookmark may save the previous page or an error page. Always wait for the page to fully load.
• Saving to the default folder. If you don’t choose a folder, the bookmark goes to “Bookmarks” (the top-level folder). Over time this gets messy. Create folders like “Recipes” or “Work” to keep things tidy.
• Accidentally tapping “Add to Home screen” instead. That creates a shortcut on your home screen, not a bookmark in the browser. They look similar but are different.

Tips

• Use folders for organization. Tap the Menu icon → “Bookmarks” → the three-dot menu next to a folder to rename, delete, or move it.
• Edit a bookmark later. Go to Bookmarks, tap and hold the bookmark you want to edit, then select “Edit.” You can change the name, URL, or folder.
• Sync bookmarks across devices. If you sign in to your Samsung account in Samsung Internet (Settings → Accounts → Samsung account), your bookmarks sync to other devices with the same account.
• Quick bookmark from the address bar. Some versions of Samsung Internet show a star icon directly in the address bar on the right side – tap it to bookmark without opening the menu.
• Use bookmark shortcuts. On the Bookmarks page, tap and hold a bookmark to see options like “Open in new tab” or “Copy URL.”

Troubleshooting

The star icon is missing or grayed out. This usually means the page is not fully loaded or it’s a special page (like the browser’s own settings). Try refreshing the page, or go to a different website and try again.

Bookmark doesn’t save. If tapping “Save” does nothing, close the dialog and try again. If it still fails, clear the browser cache: go to Settings → Apps → Samsung Internet → Storage → Clear Cache. This won’t delete your bookmarks.

Bookmark opens the wrong page. The saved URL might be incorrect. Edit the bookmark (tap and hold → Edit) and correct the address. Sometimes pages redirect – copy the final URL from the address bar and use that.

Bookmarks are not syncing. Make sure you’re signed in to the same Samsung account on all devices, and that sync is enabled: in Samsung Internet, go to Settings → Accounts → Samsung account → Sync bookmarks. Also check that you’re on a stable internet connection.

Can’t find the Bookmarks page. On some versions, the Bookmarks icon is a star at the top of the menu, not labeled “Bookmarks.” Tap the star icon in the menu to open the bookmarks list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bookmark a page without opening the menu? Yes, if you see a star icon in the address bar, tap it directly. However, that method may not let you choose a folder – it saves to the default folder.

How do I delete a bookmark? Go to Bookmarks, tap and hold the bookmark, then select “Delete” from the menu that appears.

Can I move a bookmark to a different folder? Yes. Tap and hold the bookmark, select “Move,” then choose the destination folder.

Will bookmarks sync with Chrome or other browsers? Not automatically. Samsung Internet syncs with your Samsung account. To import bookmarks from Chrome, you can use the “Import bookmarks” option in Samsung Internet’s settings (Settings → Bookmarks → Import).

What if I accidentally bookmark a page I don’t want? Just delete it as described above. It’s easy to remove.

Can I bookmark a page that requires login? Yes, but the bookmark will open the login page if the session expires. The bookmark saves the URL, not your login state.
