Bookmarking On A Smart Phone

[chokkie]

Hi techie ABers out there, got another techie question this morning, hope you don't mind ... I need to bookmark a link to a website on my Sony Experia smartphone, (or create a shortcut to it) but can't work out how to do it. There doesn't seem to be an app for this that I could install, hence the need for a bookmark.

Could anyone possibly help, please ..... many thanks, cheers, Chox.

Install the Google Chrome app (although it may already be installed).
When you open Google Chrome, go to the website in question and then press the icon in the top right hand corner that has 3 dots. This opens another menu up along the top - press the star. This will bookmark your page.
Press the icon with the 3 dots again and you'll notice that the star is now blue. Press the blue star - this gives you the option of editing the bookmark so you can move it and re-name it,etc.

Just out of curiosity, what model of Xperia do you have??
I've got the XZ2 compact :)

oooh, many thanks, will give it a try later. I've got the E6653 Xperia. Cheers, Chox.

Thanks Gizmonster - I hadn't realised that you needed to go it via Google Chrome. I think I've got it pre-installed on the phone anyway, so won't need to install it. Cheers, Chox.

Now I've got another silly question re this .... have bookmarked the website (well I think I have anyway), how do I find it when I want to go back to it, please? Thanks, Chox.

Open Google Chrome and click the icon in the top right hand corner with the 3 dots.
This will open up a drop-down menu. On my phone, the 3rd one down is "bookmarks".
