Oops. The quick search bar is now at the bottom of Safari in iOS 27. I tap in there and it brings up favorites And bookmarks. If you had gone into settings and change the style to the classic iOS 26 style then the quick search bar would be at the top. But by Default in iOS 27 the quick search is at the bottom of Safari. So there’s two different ways in which to access favorites and bookmarks. And I think there are even more ways to do so that I have not covered. But I shared how I am doing it. Thank you.

Tap on the tabs icon on the lower right. You will then see a plus sign in the lower left of the tabs window. Tap on that plus sign. Doing so brings up the favorites and bookmarks. I’ve heard it said I have not tried it, but that you can tap in the quick search at the top opens favorites.

I just tap In the quick search bar, which on mine is on the bottom and tapping on that brings up the bookmarks. Others have said that their Quick search bar is on the top. Try tapping in that bar.

Bookmarks>Show Bookmarks doesn't work?
If you're looking for them in the sidebar, and you have a lot of tabs, tap on the "50 Tabs" (thats what mine says right now). You'll see a close arrow. Tap on that and the tabs will close. You should then be able to see Bookmarks, Reading List and Shared with You. You can click on Bookmarks. Control-Command-1 will also bring up the Bookmarks sidebar.

No one here in this user-to-user forum would know why Apple does what they do. You should let them know what you think of it here:

One person stated that the search bar was on the bottom mine is on the top. Finding favorites bookmarks: The process that was a two-step process is Now a three step process. Is there a way to shortcut this and be able to pull up favorites easily on the new 27.0.1 update? Also, I thought this update was going to take advantage of Siri utilizing AI or SI instead of NI, no intelligence. Very disappointing.

And in addition Safari crashes all the time when I redo the bookmarks one by one.
This iOS27 is supper buggy, what's going on Apple?
