How to switch iPhone 16 bookmarks from grid to list view

how can i switch bookmarks from grid view to list view on iPhone 16, ios 27?

Safari on iPhone does not feature a toggle button to switch bookmarks between a grid view and a list view. Bookmarks in Safari always display as a vertical list once you open the bookmarks menu, though favorite icons on your start page or topic thumbnails may appear in a grid format. 

I finally figured it out. You have to go into tabs and then the bookmark symbol on top ( not the icon for the folder) and then open folders from there). Seems very convoluted- there may be an easier way but I haven’t found it.

It used to be that way, but (maybe since I updated to ios 27) now the only way they show upis icons with no ability to search within folders
