How to use Safari's Reading List (and why you should)

How many times have you come across a webpage that you wanted to read but didn't have time to do so in the moment? When that happens, you probably either send an email to yourself with the link or maybe add the page as a bookmark.

Both of those methods work but are rather inefficient. And given how busy we all are these days, an effective workflow is crucial. You don't want to waste precious time and you could wind up missing or losing that email.

The best macs.

Apple's Mac lineup can be confusing as the company transitions from Intel processors to its own Apple Silicon processors. But we're here to help.

What do you do?

If your desktop web browser of choice is Safari, you're in luck. With the help of a handy feature called Reading List which is exactly what it sounds like…a reading list of webpages you've saved for later viewing. 

With the Reading List, you can keep a collection of pages you want to read later or even pages you frequently access but don't want to bother with boookmarking (which is so early 2000s). 

The Reading List is available for both mobile and desktop versions of Safari but I'm only going to demonstrate it on the desktop iteration (because I'm an Android user). I'm going to show you not only how to add webpages to your reading list but how to access it and purge any item.

Adding webpages to the Reading List

1: navigate to the webpage.

The first step is to navigate to the webpage in question. It doesn't matter how you reach the page, just that you open it in Safari.

2: Add the page to the Reading list

Once the page has loaded, hover your cursor over the address bar to reveal a small +. Click that + to add the page to the reading list.

Adding a page to the Reading List is handled from within the Safari address bar.

3: Open the Safari Sidebar

Near the top left corner of the Safari window, you'll a small icon (to the left of the Tab Group drop-down). Click that icon to reveal the Safari sidebar, which contains a handy link to the Reading List.

The Reading List is accessed from the Safari Sidebar.

4: View the Reading List

At the bottom of the Sidebar, you should see a list of four items, one of which is the Reading List. Click Reading List to reveal all entries you've added. You can then click any one of those entries to open a saved web page.

How to remove entries from the Reading List

At some point, you're probably going to find your Reading List has become overcrowded with entries. When that happens, the handy little feature becomes too bloated to be useful. And although there is a search option for the Reading List, if you wind up with too many entries, what was once helpful becomes a hindrance. 

Fortunately, deleting an item from the list is just a matter of right-clicking an entry and selecting Remove Item. Or, if you want to purge your Reading List, click Clear All Items and everything will be deleted.

Deleting entries from the Safari Reading List.

And that's all there is to the Safari Reading List. You really should start making use of this feature to help improve your daily workflow with Apple's native browser. I've been using the Reading List for years and have found it to be quite helpful.

How to save articles for later using safari's reading list.

Want to save articles to read later on your Apple devices?

Quick Links

How to use reading list in safari for iphone and ipad, how to use reading list in safari for mac, how to use reading list offline on iphone, ipad, and mac.

If you use Safari as your default browser on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you don't need a third-party read-later service like Pocket . You can use Safari's built-in Reading List feature to save articles to read later in a distraction-free environment.

Safari's Reading List feature syncs all saved articles across all your devices, so you can save an article on your Mac and read it on your iPhone or iPad at your leisure.

You can save both open articles and links to the Reading List. To get started, open the Safari app on your iPhone or iPad, and open the page that you want to save for later.

Then, tap the Share button from the toolbar.

Choose the "Add to Reading List" option. This method will also work in apps that use Safari's in-app browser.

To quickly add the current page to the Reading List, simply tap and hold the Bookmarks button and choose the "Add to Reading List" button from the pop-up.

You can also press and hold a link and choose the "Add to Reading List" option to quickly add any link to the Reading List without having to open it first.

You'll find all your Reading List articles in a separate tab in the Bookmarks section . To get there, tap the Bookmarks icon from the toolbar.

Switch to the Reading List tab (the one that looks like a Glasses icon). On your iPad, this will show up in the sidebar.

You will see all your saved pages or articles here. Just tap on a page to open it in Reader View . Here, you can customize the font, font size, and background color.

Once you're done reading a saved article, you can go to the bottom of the page and swipe up to load the next article.

To delete a single page from the Reading List, swipe left on the page title and tap the "Delete" button.

If you want to delete multiple pages together, tap the "Edit" button from the bottom of the page.

Then select the pages that you want to delete and tap the "Delete" button.

While the process of using the Reading List is different for Safari on Mac, you'll find the same feature set here.

On your Mac, open the Safari app to get started. Then open the page that you want to save for later. Here, go to the URL bar and tap the little "+" button to add the page to the reading list.

Alternatively, you can click the Share button from the toolbar before clicking the "Add to Reading List" button to save the article.

You can also add any link to Reading List. Simply right-click the link and choose the "Add Link to Reading List" option.

In Safari for Mac, you'll find the Reading List feature in the sidebar. First, click the Sidebar button from the top toolbar.

Here, go to the Reading List tab.

You will now see a list of all saved articles. Click an article to open it in Reader View. From here, you can change the article text size, font, and background theme.

To remove a page from the list, right-click and choose the "Remove Item" option.

If you're using Safari 14.0 and higher, you can access the Reading List from the new customizable start page as well.

Related: How to Customize the Safari Start Page on Mac

By default, the Reading List feature doesn't download the articles for offline use. If you want to read articles during your commute, this might be a problem. Luckily, there's a setting that enables the offline feature for Reading List.

On your iPhone or iPad, open the "Settings" app.

Go to the "Safari" section.

Then, from the "Reading List" section, toggle on the "Automatically Save Offline" option.

You can enable the same feature for Mac as well.

After opening Safari on Mac, click the "Safari" button from the top menu bar and choose the "Preferences" option.

Navigate to the "Advanced" tab and enable the "Save Articles for Offline Reading Automatically" option.

Now you're all set. All the articles that you save for later will be downloaded to your device. Happy reading!

Add / Remove Webpages to Safari Reading List on Mac [Tutorial]

Want to add or remove webpages to Reading List on Mac using Safari? Here's how you do it and it's super easy, too.

Learn to Add or Remove Webpages to Safari Reading List on the Mac

You can use a web browser in a wide variety of ways. For example, if you love to read a lot, then Safari has a built-in feature called Reading List which allows you to save webpages or links for you to read later. This works even if you are not connected to the internet. Just toss in a webpage to the Reading List, no matter where you are, Safari will load it up even without an internet connection.

In order to access Reading List in Safari, just click on the side bar button on the top left hand corner, as shown in the screenshot below. Under the Collected Links section, you'll see Reading List. Click on it and all your webpages which you've saved for later will appear here. Handy dandy.

Add Webpages to Safari Reading List on Mac

But, how do you add links to the Reading List in the first place? It's super simple. First of all, you open up the webpage you want to add. Once it has completely loaded up, click on the Share button on the top right hand corner then click on Add to Reading List.

There's nothing more to it really, except that you can delete a Reading List entry by swiping left on it then clicking on Delete.

Although I do not use this feature that much, but it's extremely handy when you do have to. Also, the same Reading List features are available on Safari for iPhone and iPad as well. But what's more important here is this - thanks to Continuity features in the Apple ecosystem, links added from any of your devices will show up everywhere. Furthermore, if you remove a link from somewhere, that change will be synced across devices too.
