Saving a bookmark on an iPhone through Safari allows users to quickly access their favorite websites. This function is particularly helpful when someone relies on certain web pages for daily tasks or leisure. The process is straightforward and can be completed in a few taps on the screen of the iPhone. Organizing these bookmarks in Safari also helps in keeping the most important or most visited sites at hand without cluttering the browser.
