How to stop your iPhone from syncing bookmarks in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox

A convenient feature of your iPhone is that you can sync bookmarks you save in your browser and access them on another device, like your iPad or Mac. But what if you don’t want to sync your bookmarks? Maybe your iPhone is a business phone, and you want to keep your personal bookmarks separate. Or maybe you want the sites you bookmark on your iPhone private and away from people who use your other devices.

Whatever your reason, you can stop iPhone from syncing bookmarks with just a few taps. We’ll show you how to do this with Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

Disable Safari bookmark sync

Open the Settings on your iPhone and then follow these steps to stop syncing Safari bookmarks:

• In your Settings , tap your name at the top.
• Select iCloud .
• Under Apps Using iCloud, disable the toggle for Safari .
• You will see a message asking if you would like to keep or delete the data that was previously synced to your device. Tap the option you prefer.

Disable Chrome bookmark sync

Open the Chrome app on your iPhone and then follow these steps to stop syncing bookmarks:

• Tap the More button (three-dot icon) on the bottom right and select Settings .
• Select  Sync .
• You’ll then see a list of everything that is syncing. From here, turn off Sync Everything . Next, turn off the toggle next to Bookmarks to stop syncing it to other devices.

Disable Firefox bookmark sync

Open the Firefox app on your iPhone and then follow these steps to stop syncing bookmarks:

• Tap the More button (three-line icon) on the bottom right and choose  your account name .
• Turn off the toggle for Bookmarks .

Most iPhone owners use the convenient built-in browser Safari, and it’s easy to stop syncing those bookmarks. But if you use Chrome or Firefox instead, or in addition to Safari, you can see that it’s simple to stop your iPhone from syncing bookmarks with those browsers as well.

Are you going to turn off the bookmark sync on your iPhone for any of these browsers?

Sync Safari Bookmarks across devices

I have a Mac mini & a MacBook Air. On each I have 3 browsers - Chrome, Firefox & Safari. I primarily use Firefox but I've been reading online about Safari. I'm trying out the Safari browser right now. I'm intrigued about the Safari password manager & syncing bookmarks between devices. I'm considering making the Safari browser my default browser.

So, I have questions about syncing the bookmarks across my mini & my laptop.

Worse case scenario, I import the bookmarks from Chrome & Firefox into the Safari browser on my mini. Likewise, on my laptop. So, I'll have 2 Safari bookmark lists. There will be plenty of duplicates. I can manually delete the duplicates. When the bookmark lists are uploaded to iCloud, does iCloud delete the duplicates to create one"Master" bookmark list?

I can sort the bookmarks by name. There will be 2 identical bookmarks next to each other. I don't want to select one duplicate & delete it. I suppose that a window will pop up & ask "Do you want to delete this bookmark?" I click "yes". Then the same thing happens with the next bookmark & the next bookmark, etc. There'll be dozens of duplicates. I don't want to delete one bookmark at a time. What keyboard combination selects every other bookmark so that I can delete all of the duplicate bookmarks at one time?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Keep your Safari bookmarks, reading list, and tabs up to date with iCloud

With iCloud, your Safari bookmarks, reading list, and open browser tabs stay up to date on all your devices.

Access the same bookmarks, reading list, and tabs on all your devices

When you  set up iCloud for Safari , your Safari bookmarks, reading list, and open browser tabs are stored in the cloud instead of locally on your device. You can access that information on any device that’s set up for iCloud and Safari, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. You can access your bookmarks on a Windows computer.

Because your information is in the cloud, changes you make on one device—like bookmarking a new website, removing an item from your reading list, or opening a new tab—automatically appear on all your devices. You see the most up-to-date version of your bookmarks, reading list, and open browser tabs, no matter where you access them.

Restore your bookmarks and reading list on all your devices

Your bookmarks and reading list are archived automatically. You can use iCloud.com to restore an archived version on all your devices if you ever need to.

Is this question directed to someone other that yourself ?

On the off chance -

A " Bookmark " is derived from a Specific url ( Web Address ) and purposely saved by the User .

The " Favourite " is also derived from a Specific url ( Web Address ) but is added to the Opening Page of Safari based upon the frequency the user visits that specific Web Site

Apr 30, 2022 10:54 AM in response to PRP_53

OK, I understand your definition.

A bookmark is a bookmark but it can be a favorite if the site is frequently visited.

I have 26 folders labeled "A" thru "Z".

This is confusing!

When I click on "Bookmarks" in the main menu, I see "Show Bookmarks" AND "Favorites". When I click on Bookmarks > Favorites, I see Bookmarks Bar!

OK, under Preferences:

Under General, I see "Favorites Shows:". I can choose "Favorites" or "Bookmarks Bar" or any folder.

When I go to Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks, I see Favorites. If I expand Favorites, I see Bookmarks Bar.

"Bookmarks Bar" is a subfolder under Favorites. It looks like the only way to simplify the bookmarks is to use "Edit Bookmarks".

I think that I figured it out. Favorites shows on the Start Page & the Menu bar. "Bookmarks Bar" is a subfolder under Favorites. Under "General" > "Favorite shows:" I choose Favorites. I move everything from the Bookmarks Bar to Favorites.

HMMM, if all of the bookmarks in "Bookmarks bar" are "Favorites", the 'Favorites" will show on the Start Page so I won't need to click on "Bookmarks" > "Favorites".

I set Safari as default. I imported bookmarks into Safari from Chrome & Firefox. Each time that I imported, I was told that 700 some bookmarks were imported. I synced Safari with iCloud. The bookmarks don't show up in iCloud. Where are they? I even restarted my mini. No bookmarks show up in iCloud. How do I get the bookmarks to show up in iCloud?

May 1, 2022 9:42 AM in response to PRP_53

I have the option of importing the Safari bookmark directly into iCloud. Is that what I do?

When I clicked on "Safari" in iCloud, I saw "setting up".

I've had a Mac for several years now, & almost everyday I learn something new!

I think it is time the user reads all the information previous provided in those links.

IMHO, there has been enough advise offered for the User ( you ) to make an informed choice what  the next course of action is required to possibly answer the question.

How to unsync iphone from ipad.

Here's how to set up an amicable divorce.

Quick Links

Why unsync your ipad and iphone, how to unsync your ipad and iphone, key takeaways.

To unsync Apple services and apps between your iPhone and iPad, go to your iPad's settings, tap your name, select "iCloud," and under "Apps Using iCloud" choose "Show All." Toggle off the services you want to unsync.

Device syncing is a slick experience built into Apple's ecosystem. However, there can be instances where you might want to unsync your iPhone from your iPad, whether for privacy reasons, data management, or simply wanting different experiences on different devices.

The syncing feature within the Apple ecosystem allows for easy information sharing between devices. For example, your text messages can show up on your iPad , calls to your iPhone can ring on your iPad, and apps you download on one device can automatically appear on the other. While this is great for convenience and continuity, there are reasons you might want to unsync your devices.

Perhaps you share an iPad with a family member and don't want your personal iPhone data appearing on that shared device. Maybe you're using your iPad for a specific purpose and want to keep its apps and data separate from your iPhone. Or you don't want a call to your iPhone interrupting your iPad movie-watching. Whatever the reason, let's look at how you can unsync your devices.

Here are the steps to follow if you want to break the syncing bond between your iPhone and iPad, with separate instructions for different levels of unsyncing. Remember, you can always reverse these changes if you change your mind.

Unsync Specific Apps and Services via iCloud

If you want to disable only certain apps or iCloud syncing services, like Safari, Contacts, or Calendar, you can choose those selectively.

Start by opening Settings on your iPad and tapping your name at the top.

Then tap "iCloud."

Under the iCloud settings, you can selectively disable syncing for various apps under "Apps using iCloud." Tap on "Show all" to see the apps.

If you want to prevent certain data from being shared between your iPhone and iPad, toggle the switch next to the app name off.

Stop Text Messages from Appearing on iPad

Prevent Phone Calls Ringing on iPad

Open the Settings on your iPhone. Head to the Phone settings.

Select "Calls on Other Devices."

You will see a list of devices where your iPhone calls can ring. If you want to stop your iPad from ringing when you get a call, simply toggle off the switch next to your iPad's name.

Stop Automatic App Downloads

Open Settings on your iPad or iPhone, scroll down to "App Store," and under "Automatic Downloads," turn off the switch next to "App Downloads."

This stops your iPad from automatically downloading apps you've installed on your iPhone or vice versa.

Disable iCloud Photo Library

If you don't want your photos to sync between your iPhone and iPad, you can disable iCloud Photo Library. Go to Settings on your iPad, tap your name at the top, then tap iCloud.

Scroll down to "Photos," select it, and toggle off "Sync this iPad/iPhone."

Disable Handoff

Handoff is a feature that allows you to start a task on one device and pick up where you left off on another. If you don't want this level of integration between your iPhone and iPad, you can disable Handoff.

Open Settings on the device you want to disable Handoff on, tap on "General," select "AirPlay & Handoff," and toggle off "Handoff."

Fully Remove Your Apple ID

If you want to completely stop syncing between your iPhone and iPad, you can remove your Apple ID from one of the devices.

Open Settings on the device you want to remove your Apple ID from, tap on your Apple ID banner at the top of the screen.

Scroll to the bottom and tap "Sign Out," enter your Apple ID password , and tap "Turn Off."

Remember, removing your Apple ID will also mean losing access to purchases associated with that ID on the device, so be careful with this option.

Now you know how to unsync your iPhone and iPad. It's all about setting up each device to your liking and needs. If you ever change your mind, remember that you can always change these settings back to sync your devices again.

Syncing Microsoft Edge and Safari bookmarks via icloud

With my previous laptop, i could sync my chrome bookmarks on my laptop with the safari bookmarks in my ipad using icloud and choosing 'chrome' in the browser selection in the icloud application in the laptop (there are 3 choices there: internet explorer, Firefox and Chrome). That worked fine.

Now I have a new laptop with Microsoft Edge on it. Suppose I import all the bookmarks from Chrome to Edge, can i now sync the Edge bookmarks with the safari bookmarks on the ipad using icloud in the same way. I am asking because there is no "Edge" entry in the icloud application. What shall i choose (if possible at all..) in this case (IE-?, Firefox-No!, Chrome-No!). Is this doable or shall i stay with chrome on new laptop and safari on ipad ?

Hi sh1406 ,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

It sounds like that you currently need to sync bookmarks to the Microsoft Edge. As Chrome and iClound are not a product of Microsoft, we cannot provide you with more help, but here are some suggestions:

Since there is no option to sync directly to the Edge, it seems like you have to take two steps.Since IE and Edge are the products of Microsoft, you can try to sync IE first and then sync to Edge.And Since Edge and Chrome are the same core, you can try to sync Chrome first and then sync to Edge.

If direct synchronization does not solve the problem, you can try to export bookmarks from other browsers and then import Edge.

For this,kindly check：

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

This is easily doable, though not necessarily intuitive. Since Microsoft Edge can install Chrome extensions, you simply need to install the iCloud Chrome extension in Edge ( iCloud Bookmarks - Chrome Web Store (google.com) ) and select Chrome in the iCloud application (you might want to remove the extension from your Chrome application in order to prevent conflicts).

I've just used this setup successfully to sync Edge bookmarks with Safari on iOS (iPhone and iPad); it seems the iCloud application accepts the sync instructions from Edge because it is the same engine (Chromium).

Thank you for your reply.

For the time beeing , i decided to stay with chrome/safari combo, since it works fine and sufficiently fast for me and i am familiar with it.

I will keep your post anyway if i need it in the future.

Thanks again.

City Street Guides by f.d. walker: A Street Photography Guide to Moscow, Russia

*A series of guides on shooting Street Photography in cities around the world. Find the best spots to shoot, things to capture, street walks, street tips, safety concerns, and more for cities around the world. I have personally researched, explored and shot Street Photography in every city that I create a guide for. So you can be ready to capture the streets as soon as you step outside with your camera!

At over 12 million people, Moscow is the largest city in Russia and second largest in Europe by population ( Istanbul is #1). An urban, cosmopolitan metropolis with more than enough glitz and glam to cater to the elite, but without losing its fair share of Soviet era roughness around the edges. It can be fast paced, brash, busy, and trendy like other big cities, but it has its blend of West meets Russia atmosphere and beauty that provides plenty of unique interest. The Red Square is as famous as it gets, but there’s so much more to this city, including the most beautiful subway system you’ve ever seen. It would take years to capture all of Moscow, but that means you have an endless amount of areas to discover.

So here’s a Street Photography guide so you can be ready to capture all that Moscow has to offer before you even arrive!

• Patriarch’s Pond
• Old Arbat Street
• Maroseyka Street
• Tverskoy Boulevard

Top 5 Street Spots:

1. red square.

The Red Square is the most famous square in not just Russia, but all of Eastern Europe. The name actually doesn’t come from the color of the bricks or communism, but from the name in Russian, Krásnaya, once meaning “beautiful” before its meaning changed to “red.” This large plaza is what you see on the cover of guide books and magazines for Moscow, with St. Basil’s Cathedral being the center piece next to Lenin’s Mausoleum surrounded by the Kremlin Wall. Of course, the Red Square attracts hordes of tourist due to the main attractions, but all that activity around an interesting atmosphere does provide street photo opportunities. It’s also the central square connecting to the city’s major streets, providing a good starting point to explore outward.

You’ll also find the popular pedestrian only Nikolskaya Street connecting the Red Square to Lubyanka Square. This line of expensive shops includes plenty of activity, while also leading you to another popular square. Filled with history rivaling any city, the Red Square and surrounding areas are the heart and soul of Russia.

2. Patriarch’s Ponds

Patriarch’s Ponds is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Moscow. Despite the name being plural, there’s only one large pond, but it’s worth a visit with your camera. It’s a popular spot for locals and expats to come relax or take a stroll around the pond. You get an interesting mix of young and old too, from young love to “babushkas” feeding pigeons. It’s a very peaceful park atmosphere in one of the nicer areas within the city center, while bringing enough activity for street photography. 

The pond is shallow and in the winter becomes a popular spot for ice-skating too. The area is also well-known for the location in the famous Russian novel, The Master and Margarita. 

3. Old Arbat (Stary Arbat)

Old Arbat is the most famous pedestrian street in Moscow, and dating back to the 15th century, also one of its oldest. Originally, it was an area of trade, but soon became the most prestigious residential area in Moscow. During the 18th century, Arbat started attracting the city’s scholars and artists, including Alexander Pushkin. Cafes lined the streets and impressive homes filled the neighborhood. Since then, New Arbat street was created as a highway in the area, while Old Arbat was paved for a 1km pedestrian only walkway.

Due to the historic buildings, famous artists that lived here, and the bohemian atmosphere, Old Arbat has become a big attraction for tourists today. Now, there’s a mix of cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, street performers, street merchants and other attractions for visitors, and some locals, to come enjoy. It can get really busy here and there’s usually something interesting going on so it’s a good street to come walk with your camera for guaranteed life.

4. Gorky Park

One of the most famous places in Moscow is Gorky Park. The official name is Maxim Gorky’s Central Park of Culture & Leisure, which gives you an idea of what goes on here. When built, it was the first of its kind in the Soviet Union. Divided into two parts, it stretches along Moscow River. One end contains fair rides, foods stands, tennis courts, a sports club, a lake for boat rides, and more. This end brings more active life due to its number of attractions, while the other end is more relaxed, where you’ll find gardens, trees, older buildings, and an outdoor amphitheater.

Gorky Park attracts mostly locals so it’s a good spot to capture the non-tourist side of Moscow life. Muscovites come here to escape the city and unwind in a picturesque setting. The park remains alive outside of the warmer months too, especially when the lake turns into the city’s largest outdoor skating rink. I’d recommend taking the metro out here to spend at least half a day exploring the massive park’s life with your camera.

5. Maroseyka Street

Maroseyka Street is a popular area not too far from the Red Square. The long, winding street turns into Pokrovka and is lined with restaurants, cafes, bars and places to stay. It’s actually where I like to stay when I’m in Moscow due to its location and solid street photography opportunities itself. You have Kitay-gorod station near and if you keep walking southwest, you’ll get to the Red Square. But if you walk northwest, as it changes to Pokrovka, you can find a long street of activity for photography with its own interesting atmosphere.

6. Tverskoy Boulevard

Tverskoy Boulevard is the oldest and longest boulevard in Moscow, beginning at the end of Nikitsky Boulevard, and finishing at Pushkin Square, a spot to come for activity itself. The boulevard is made up of two avenues, with pedestrian walkways in-between. You’ll find grass, shrubbery, trees, benches and more walking it’s almost kilometer length. Many people come here to enjoy some relaxation, walk their dog, or just to use it to walk wherever they’re going. Its center location also provides a nice place to walk with your camera near plenty of other spots you’ll want to check out anyway.

Sample Street Walk:

For a full day of Street Photography, covering some of the best spots, you can follow this sample street walk for Moscow:

• Start your morning walking around the Red Square (1), while exploring the surrounding area, including Nikolskaya Street
• Then walk northwest to Patriarch’s Ponds (2) and slowly walk the pond and surrounding area with your camera
• Next, walk east to the Pushkin Monument and stroll down Tverskoy Boulevard (6)
• Once Tverskoy Boulevard (6) ends, it will turn into Nikitsky Boulevard. Follow this down until you get to the start of Old Arbat Street (3), across from Arbatskaya station
• After you’re done walking down Old Arbat Street (3) for more street photography, spend some time checking out Moscow’s beautiful metro stations
• To finish off the day with more street photography, get off the metro near Red Square (1) again, Maroseyka Street (5) or wherever you’re staying for the night.

3 Things I’ll Remember about Shooting in Moscow:

1. museum metro.

The Moscow metro system was the first underground railway system in the Soviet Union and today includes 203 stations across 340km of routes. The elaborate system has some of the deepest stations in the world too, with escalators that seem to go on forever. None of this is what makes it so special, though. Many of its stations feel like stepping inside a museum, making it without a doubt the most interesting and beautiful metro system I’ve been in.

When built, Stalin wanted to make the metro stations “palaces for the people” with marble, chandeliers, and grand architecture. The best part is the variety of architecture and styles used, making many of the stations a completely different experience visually. You could easily spend a whole day traveling the stations and there are even tours available for people who wish to do just that. My advice, though, would be just to buy a ticket and hop on and off at different stations, while exploring different lines. The museum-like surrounding mixed with the crowds of characters can make for a great photography experience.

Since there are so many stations, here are some of my favorites to check out:

• Novoslobodskaya
• Mayakovskaya
• Elektrozavodskaya
• Komsomolskaya
• Ploschad Revolyutsii
• Dostoyevskaya
• Prospekt Mira

2. Moscow is Big

It’s no secret that Moscow is a big city, but it can feel even bigger with how spread out much of it is. This is especially true if you compare it to cities outside of Asia. If I compared it to cities in Europe, I’d probably say only Istanbul would warrant more time to really discover the depths of this city. Most only explore around the Red Square and surrounding area, but that is such a small part of the city. Although, that central area does give you plenty to see on its own.

Fortunately, I had a good friend living in the city to show me around, but it opened up my eyes even more to how much there is to discover in Moscow. It’s a big city with a variety of atmosphere that can take you from “east” to “west” and trendy to rugged depending on where you go. I’d imagine you’d have to live here a while to really know the city.

3. Cosmopolitan Mix of East meets West

Modern skyscrapers mixed with amazing architecture, a world-class metro system with museum-like beauty, trendy fashion and chic clubs, Moscow is a rich mix of Russian culture and history in a more western cosmopolitan package. There is a push to keep the Russian culture, while also pushing forward with a modern metropolis the whole world will envy. This comes with an impressive skyline, that continues to grow, and endless modernities, but with soviet nostalgia and atmosphere mixed in for good measure.

Mixed in with this grand western cosmopolitan atmosphere, is a strong national pride in Russia. This includes their famous leader, Vladimir Putin. Maybe no other place will you see a country’s leader more often. All over, from the pricey tourist shops to the underground walkway stalls, you’ll find goods with Putin’s likeness covering them. From t-shirts to magnets to Matryoshka dolls. There’s a strong national pride that can be seen around the city, which also extends to their leader. Moscow is many things. It’s East meets West, modernizations meets Soviet era, and a whole lot more.

What To Do For a Street Photography Break?:

Eat at a stolovaya.

Stolovayas are Russian cafeterias that became popular in the Soviet days. You grab a tray and walk down the line of freshly prepared local dishes, and select whatever you want from the chefs. They’re usually inexpensive and a much better value than restaurants, while giving you the opportunity to try from a wide selection of everyday Russian food. They’re also very tasty. I always include some borsch on my tray and go from there. The places themselves are all over Moscow and usually come with Soviet-era aesthetics to complete the experience.

Street Safety Score: 7

*As always, no place is completely safe! So when I talk about safety, I’m speaking in general comparison to other places. Always take precaution, be smart, observe your surroundings and trust your instincts anywhere you go!

Being the 2nd largest city in Europe with over 12 million people, you’re going to have your dangerous areas, but for the most part, it feels safe walking around. Russia is statistically higher in crime compared to most of Europe, but this generally doesn’t apply to tourists and visitors. Around the Red Square and surrounding city center, you should feel completely safe walking around. Pick pocketing can happen, but no more than other touristic places. I always explore Moscow freely without coming across too much to worry about. It’s a spread out city, though, so of course it matters where you are. Just use basic street smarts, know where you are and Moscow shouldn’t give you a problem. 

People’s Reaction Score: 7

Moscow is fast paced, big city life, which usually means people aren’t too concerned with you, or your camera. I don’t find people notice or pay much attention to me when I’m out taking photos in Moscow. For the most part, people just go about their day. You shouldn’t get too many looks or concern. But it can depend on the area you are in. The more you stick out, the more you might get noticed with suspicions. I’ve never had any problems in Moscow, or Russia, but just be careful who you’re taking a photo of if you get out of the city center. Other than that, it’s about average for reactions. 

Street Tips:

Learn the alphabet .

Much of Moscow, including the metro system, doesn’t use english. The Russian alphabet uses letters from the Cyrillic script, which if you aren’t familiar with it and don’t know the sounds, can be hard to decipher the words. This is most important for street names and metro stops when trying to get around. It can save confusion and make it easier getting around if you learn the basic alphabet. At the very least then, you can sound out the words to see which are similar in the english conversion, which can help matching them to maps. When out shooting street photography, getting around is as important as anything. So save yourself some time and frustration by learning the Russian Alphabet.

Use the metro

While Saint-Petersburg feels very walkable for a city its size, Moscow can feel very spread out, even for its bigger size. Outside of the Red Square area, you can have plenty of walking before getting anywhere very interesting, so you’ll need to take the metro a lot if you really want to explore the city. Maps are deceiving here too, it will always be further than it looks.

Another reason it’s less walkable than Saint-Petersburg is its completely different set-up. Moscow’s streets are mostly contstructed in rings with narrow, winding streets in-between. This is common with medieval city cities that used to be confined by walls, but you usually don’t have it in a city this massive. Saint-Petersburg has a more grid-like pattern that also uses the canals to help you know your way around. When it comes to navigating on foot in Moscow, it can be more difficult, so bring a map and take the metro when needed. It’s why Moscow’s metro carries more passengers per day than the London and Paris subways combined.

Explore other areas if you have time

Moscow is really big. While most people stay around the Red Square within the Boulevard Ring, there’s so much more to the city. I covered some other spots outside of this circle, but if you really want to see the city, you’ll need time. If you do have time, some other areas I’d check out first are Zamoskvarechye, along some of the south and western Moscow.

Inspiration:

For some more inspiration, you can look through the Street Photography of Moscow photographer Artem Zhitenev  and check out 33 of my photos taken in Moscow .

Conclusion:

Moscow’s name brings a certain mystique, but once you’re there it might bring a different atmosphere than you expect. It’s big and sprawling, but beautiful in many ways. It can feel like a European capital on a grand scale, but you can definitely find its Russian side in there.

The urban sprawl of Moscow can be intimidating, but give it enough time and you’ll be rewarded with plenty to discover. All with the world’s best metro system to take you around.

I hope this guide can help you start to experience some of what Moscow contains. So grab your camera and capture all that Moscow has to offer for Street Photography!
