How to disable bookmark icons on iPad and iPhone.

Viewing favorites on iPhone and iPad the bookmarks show as icons. The icons take too much space and they do not really relate to me as what the page may be. Also I do not want to wait while the customs icons populate after updates. This seems a waste of memory to change all that text to icon.

Does anyone know how to disable bookmark icons on iPad and iPhone?

No, it is not possible to disable the bookmark icons in Safari. The icons are loaded from the web page you visit, you can not add or deselect it. Sometimes it takes longer before the icon appears, and you may be tempted to think that it will not come, but it is not something you can change yourself.


But if your son has the solution, I would love to hear it, because I wanted to be able to deactivate the icons myself.
