Safari lets you see web pages just as they were designed to be seen in computer-based browsers. A simple double-tap lets you zoom in or rotate iPhone sideways for a wider view, go here to learn more. Search using Google or Yahoo! — both are built-in.

If a link leads to a sound or movie file supported by iPhone, Safari plays the sound or movie.

Adding Safari Web Clips to the Home Screen
You can add Web Clips for your favorite websites to the Home screen for fast access. Web Clips appear as icons, which you can arrange however you want on the Home screen.
Add a Web Clip to the Home screen
Open the page and tap . Then tap “Add to Home Screen.”
Web Clips remember the displayed portion—the zoom level and location—of webpages. When you open a Web Clip, Safari automatically zooms and scrolls to that portion of the webpage again. The displayed portion is also used to create the icon for the Web Clip on the Home screen.
Before you add a Web Clip, you can edit its name. If the name is too long (more than about 10 characters), it may appear abbreviated on the Home screen.
Delete a Web Clip from the Home screen

- Tap the “x” in the corner of the Web Clip you want to delete.
- Tap Delete, then press the Home
button to save your arrangement.
