Deleting a bookmark

Hi danielfromparsons,

We see you're having some issues deleting a bookmark that was added to the Home Screen, and we'd like to assist with that.

Does the device have Screen Time enabled? Check for that in Settings > Screen Time. If so, try turning that off for the moment, and attempt to delete the bookmark again: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Also check for any profiles or Mobile Device Management (MDM) installed on the device, as those can affect functionality. That would be in Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management.

Take care.

"Deleting a bookmark: my son used my phone to play on and when I got it back there was a bookmark on my home screen and I am unable to remove it. [...] It opens a webpage that is like an app and I don’t know what to do. I can’t erase my phone and restore to a previous backup as it has updated to include the bookmark. Any ideas I can try?"

Enable Safari in iCloud:

Try enabling Safari in iCloud settings on your iPhone, and doing the same on your Mac. What you would do is remove the bookmark in Safari through your Mac. With everything having been synced, it would expectedly be gone.

Excellent, we're happy to hear that was able to resolve it for you. It was our pleasure to help get that taken care of.
