Access a Web Page on Your iPhone While Offline



I love browsing the Internet using my iPhone. I can browse online anytime and anywhere I want since I always have my phone with me.

The problem with this is that your phone isn't necessarily connected to the Internet at all times. Not unless you have unlimited cellular data, which can be really costly. Also, there will be times where you will be at a location where there is limited or no cellular service like when on a plane or car trips through areas with no cellular coverage.

Apple's Reading List allows you to select any web page you’d like and access its contents while offline. All you need to do is to bookmark the web page in the Safari browser on your iPhone. To do this, check out these simple steps:

NOTE: In order for offline reading to work, your iPhone needs to have iOS 6 and later installed.

Access a Web Page on Your iPhone While Offline

Before you begin, make sure you are connected to the Internet so you can add web pages to your Reading List for later reading.

1. Launch the Safari app and open the web page you want to add to the Reading List.


2. Once the website is loaded, tap the Sharing icon located in the middle of the navigation controls at the bottom of your screen.


3. Now, tap Add to Reading List to add the website to your Reading List. The web page will be downloaded and saved for you to access at a later time. You can continue to open new pages and add other web pages to the Reading List until you are done.


That's it! If you want to access your Reading List, simply launch the Safari app, and then tap the Bookmark icon located at the bottom of the screen next to the Share icon. From there, tap the tab with the pair of glasses icon to display all of the articles and web pages you have saved.
