Hey Tammy,

I have set of 25+ top-level folders for around 1000+ bookmarks, most are articles or certain services on websites. For instance bookmark named Tariffs or Account without icon i have no clue what is it. Multilevel folders is bad experience, you need to do more taps. Browsing favorites from start page is also unusable, in this view title is very shortened.

When I edit bookmark I see icon is there. Guess rendering them into list view would take no more than 1 day efforts. But will make customers significantly more happy. So please consider rising this enchancement in backlog.

I will move back to Chome because of this issue but will keep an eye on Safari iOS.

Hey _Dmitry_Sh_,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. As it turns out, this is expected behavior. You might consider creating folders to organize them or maybe adding your Favorites to your start page which does show the icons. More details about customizing your start page can be found here: Customize your Safari settings on iPhone - Apple Support
