How to change your Safari Homepage on Mac, iPhone and iPad

While you may not think much about what your Homepage is on Safari , this can be the handiest way to see your favorite site first. Every time you open Safari, you can visit the website you like most right off the bat or when you hit your Home button. Maybe it’s your preferred news source, the weather site you trust most, or your favorite tech site, iDownloadblog.com.

To make sure you get to your favorite website quickly each day, here’s how to change your Safari Homepage on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Safari Homepage on Mac

Change your Safari Homepage

Open Safari on your Mac, and then follow these steps to change your Homepage:

1) Click Safari > Preferences from the top menu bar.

2) Choose the General tab.

3) In the box next to Homepage , enter the URL of the website you want. If you are currently on that site, just click the Set Current Page button. This will change that URL for you.

Set Homepage Safari Mac

Set your Homepage for new windows and tabs

By making that change above, each time you click the Home button on your toolbar or History > Home from the menu bar, you’ll land on that page. But you can set it up so that whenever you open a new Safari window or tab, you’ll go directly to that page too.

In the same Safari Preferences window, above Homepage , you’ll see the options for New windows open with and New tabs open with . You can click the drop-down box and choose Homepage for both or just one.

Set Homepage New Window and Tabs Safari Mac

For something out of the ordinary, you can also set an image as your Safari Homepage on Mac. So, you can see your adorable pet, favorite vacation spot, or loving family whenever you open Safari.

On iPhone and iPad

Things are currently not as simple on iOS as they are on macOS. There isn’t a setting for Homepage in Safari on iPhone and iPad. But there is a workaround you can use to always open Safari with your favorite page. You’ll do this by creating a shortcut on your Home Screen, and here’s how.

1) Open Safari on iPhone or iPad and go to the site you want to use.

2) Tap the Share button at the bottom.

3) Select Add to Home Screen .

4) Name your shortcut and tap Add .

Now, whenever you want to open Safari to that “Homepage,” just tap your shortcut.

Add to Home Screen Safari Homepage iPhone

Note : If a website you use opens in a reader or mobile mode, you may not see your normal Safari options (tabs, bookmarks, etc.). So, use the desktop version of the site instead. Before performing the steps above, select the Share button > Request Desktop Site . Then, follow the instructions to add it to your Home Screen.

Setting Safari Homepage

You can always use the Favorites feature in Safari to quickly get to the sites you love most. But setting your Homepage gets you to your favorite website the fastest.

How to Change Your Start Page on Safari

Last Updated: February 10, 2023 Tested

Your Safari start page, or "homepage", is the page that loads whenever you start Safari. You can change this page to whatever you'd like, but if you have an adware infection it may keep getting reset. If this is the case, you can try manually removing the adware so that you can regain your control. If you use an iOS device, you can create custom shortcuts to simulate a traditional start page.

Changing Your Homepage

Step 1 Open the Safari browser.

  • If you're using Safari for Windows, click the "Edit" menu and select "Preferences". It is highly recommended that you switch to a more up-to-date browser, as Safari for Windows is no longer supported by Apple and is not receiving any security updates.

Step 3 Select the General tab if it isn't already.

  • You can also click Set to Current Page to set your new homepage to the page that is currently open.
  • If your homepage keeps resetting to something else, red on to the next section.

Removing an Adware Infection

Step 1 Understand when you need to do this.

Rolled out in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Apple allows you to edit the Safari welcome page to your heart’s content. Like  Safari on Mac , you can set a background image and also add or remove display sections like website icons, reports, and more. Besides, different Tab Groups can have different start page settings. Let me show you how to customize the start page in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How to edit Safari start page on iPhone

  • How to add a background image to Safari start page

The start page is the first screen you see when you launch Safari or open a new empty tab. Here, you’ll see bookmarked sites, frequently visited websites, privacy reports, items in the reading list, Siri-suggested sites, open tabs on your other Apple devices, etc.

You may want to organize things better or include more useful options and sections here. For example, I do not like privacy reports and reading lists on my Safari start page, so I don’t keep them. Your preferences may be different.

Here’s how to enable or disable sections from Safari’s start page:

  • Open  Safari  and stay on the start page. If an existing web page opens, hit the tabs icon and launch a  new tab .
  • Scroll down and tap  Edit .
  • Toggle off the options you do not want on the Customize Start Page .
  • You may also rearrange the order by touching the  three lines icon  and dragging it up or down.

How to personalize and declutter Safari start page on iPhone in iOS 15

Anytime you change your mind, follow the same steps to remove or add more sections.

Note: If you toggle on Use Start Page on All Devices , your customized start page settings will be applied across all your Apple devices. However, you must sign in with the same Apple ID while two-factor authentication is enabled.

How to add a background image to Safari start page on iPhone

Traditionally, browsers have been plain white backgrounds. But with this edit option, Apple has tried adding a pinch of glamor to it. What’s more, seeing elements you like keeps you fresh, motivated, and focused on the task.

You can use one of Apple’s wallpapers or choose a custom image from your Photos app. Here’s how.

  • Open  Safari .
  • Toggle on  Background Image .
  • Tap a wallpaper or the  plus icon  to choose an image from the iPhone Camera Roll.
  • Tap  X  to close this screen. You will see the selected image as the background for Safari’s start page.

How to add a background image to Safari’s start page in iOS 15

How to change background for Safari Tab Group in iOS 16

From iOS 16, the start page customization option will not be applied to all the Tab Groups . So, if you have multiple Tab Groups in action, you’ll have to change them individually.

  • Go to the desired Tab Group start page . 
  • Tap the edit button.  
  • Customize the page with the steps mentioned above. 

And that’s it.

This is how you can customize the start page in Safari on your iPhone. I hope this brief guide was helpful. If you have any further related queries, drop them in the comments section below.

Dobberbobber can’t find your question but to delete start pages from Safari.

Do NOT hold the page just quickly flick the page upwards and it will disappear. It works for me.

Good Luck the pages are so annoying.

Sep 9, 2022 11:20 AM in response to Itsmekatsuko

Flicking them up worked for me, but there were dozens and it took ages to get rid of them all. I don't understand how they got there in the first place. Apple needs to get rid of this "feature"--it seems more like a bug, to me.

Mar 21, 2022 8:02 AM in response to 46WildBill8

This technique works on my iPad 6th generation running iOS 15.3.1.

When you open Safari you'll see an ellipsis at the top center of the full screen start page. Touching the ellipsis will cause three more icons to appear. You can use them to alter the dimensions and behavior of the full screen start page.

Each of the miniature start pages across the bottom of the screen also has an ellipsis. I was able to duplicate the miniature start screen behavior you described by touching a miniature screen at its top edge then dragging it upward. The miniature screen elongated then morphed into a 1/2 page. This behavior did not occur whenever I began the attempt by touching the miniature start page at its center.

I've read that those miniature start pages across there bottom of the screen are called the "shelf". I wish Apple had left the shelf on the shelf.

Touch one of the start pages you wish to delete. Drag it upward until it disappears.

Mar 20, 2022 2:50 PM in response to ProustGiulio

I’ve got several start windows at the bottom of my iPad 6. Each time I try to drag them upwards to delete them, the window grows long and becomes a 1/2 window. Now, I’ve got mega start & 1/2 windows!! Your directions DID NOT WORK!

I suspect that you make reference to the “Shelf” - this being a new feature of the now revised iPadOS multitasking environment.

iPadOS permits you to have multiple “instances” of the same App - each instance being self contained. The shelf , when triggered, shows a thumbnail of each running instance of an App.

For example, if you have three running instances of Safari, each with its own set of open tabs, you will see three thumbnails corresponding to each running instance of Safari - plus a button to open a new instance of Safari. Simply tapping a thumbnail will switch directly to that running instance of Safari. Each App has its own corresponding shelf .

This article from Appleinsider has a useful explanation of this new feature along with many of the updates to multitasking:

https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/08/12/how-to-master-multitasking-on-ipad-and-ipad-pro-in-ipados-15

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of frequently overlooked information. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:

iPad User Guide - Apple Support

https://books.apple.com/book/id1567104892

You should note that the shelf is an integral component of the multitasking User Interface. It cannot be disabled.

Mar 21, 2022 1:49 AM in response to 46WildBill8

I had the same problem and I was complaining here as well. It works just need to learn how to do it. Keep hold the page until the very top of your screen then it will disappear.

you need to pass the stage off 2x1/2 page stage keep dragging upwards.

I also had problems with many safari start sheets that I could not remove. The trick is not to drag them to the top of the page but to flick quickly upwards and they do disappear.

How to disable safari's frequently visited start page on iphone, ipad, and mac.

The new Frequently Visited and Siri Suggestions sections in the start page on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS might annoy some users. Here's how to hide both.

Quick Links

How to disable the frequently visited section, how to disable siri suggestions.

iOS 13's, iPadOS 13's, and macOS Catalina's Safari updates are quite robust. But the redesigned start page leaves something to be desired. If you don't like the new Frequently Visited or Siri Suggestions sections, here's how to disable them.

As the name suggests, the new Frequently Visited section in Safari's start page lists websites that you visit frequently. If you already have those websites in the Favorites section, this new feature is redundant. You also might not want Safari to show these websites for privacy reasons .

You can either hide a website from this section or disable the whole Frequently Visited section altogether.

Disable the Frequently Visited Section on iPhone and iPad

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Safari app and go to the start page. Find the Frequently Visited section and then press and hold on a website icon.

From the popup, tap on "Delete."

To disable the entire Frequently Visited section, we'll need to go to the Settings app.

Open the Settings app and go to the "Safari" section.

Here, in the General section, tap on the toggle next to "Frequently Visited Sites."

The Frequently Visited section will instantly disappear from the Safari start page.

Disable the Frequently Visited Section on Mac

If you're using a Mac, you can customize the Frequently Visited section right from the start page in Safari.

To delete a particular website from the Frequently Visited section, right-click on the website icon and then click on "Delete."

If you want to remove the entire Frequently Visited section, right-click in the blank area on the start page and uncheck the "Show Frequently Visited" option.

Siri Suggestions have now made their way to the Safari app. Just like Siri Suggestions in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, they aren't really helpful in Safari. Siri Suggestions will show you websites from your reading list, open tabs from other devices, and sites it thinks you might want to visit.

Disabling the Siri Suggestions section is straightforward on the Mac, but the option in iOS and iPadOS is hidden deep in the Settings app.

Disable Siri Suggestions on iPhone and iPad

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and then go to the "Siri & Search" section.

Here, find the "Safari" option.

On this page, tap on the toggle next to "Show Siri Suggestions In App" to disable Siri Suggestions section in the Safari start page.

Disable Siri Suggestions on Mac

To hide Siri Suggestions section in Safari on macOS Catalina, simply right-click in the empty area on the start page.

Here, click on the "Show Siri Suggestions" option.

The Siri Suggestions section will instantly disappear from the Safari start page.

On 29 April, Parliament’s Press Service will outline all practical details for covering the lead candidates’ debate and election night as well as the EP communication campaign.

When : 29 April, from 10.00-11.00

Where : Anna Politkovskaya press room in Brussels and via Interactio , Parliament’s webstreaming and EbS+

Parliament’s Spokesperson Jaume Duch Guillot will open the media briefing, summarising Parliament’s main legislative achievements during its ninth term, as well as unfinished business for the new Parliament after the elections .

This will be followed by a briefing on practical information for the media by the EP Press and Audiovisual services, on:

  • 9 May - One month to go
  • 23 May - Eurovision debate with the lead candidates to the EU Commission Presidency in Parliament’s hemicycle in Brussels
  • 9 June - Election night from Parliament’s premises in Brussels.

Delphine Colard, Parliament’s Deputy Spokesperson, will then speak about how the EU is working to protect the 6-9 June elections from disinformation .

Closing the session, Philipp Schulmeister, Parliament’s director for campaigns, will present the EP’s election campaign , including the screening of its TV advertising spot .

Find the detailed programme here .

Information for the media - Use Interactio to ask questions

Interactio is only supported on iPad (with the Safari browser) and Mac/Windows (with the Google Chrome browser).

When connecting, enter your name and the media you are representing in the first name / last name fields.

For better sound quality, use headphones and a microphone. Interpretation is only possible for interventions with video, so you should switch on your camera when asking a question. It is recommended to use one of these microphones to ensure that questions can be interpreted.

Journalists who have never used Interactio before are asked to connect 30 minutes before the start of the press conference to perform a connection test. IT assistance can be provided if necessary.

When connected, open the chat window (upper right corner) to be able to see the service messages.

For more details, check the connection guidelines and recommendations for remote speakers.
