How to save links on iPhone
and find them later

1. Send the web link to Recall

Open the page in Safari or another app that can share a web URL. Open that app’s share menu and choose Recall. The available share options depend on the source app.

If Recall is not immediately visible, look through the available apps in the share sheet. You can also copy the web address, open Recall, tap the plus button, and paste it into the Add Link form shown above. Tap the checkmark to save it.

Sharing a web link gives Recall a source to retrieve. A screenshot or a piece of selected text is not always the same thing as sharing the page’s address.

2. Give the page time to process

Recall retrieves the page and prepares its saved information. On a compatible iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled, it can create a summary, topics, and key insights.

Some sites make content difficult to retrieve. A page that requires access Recall does not have, or that contains very little useful text, may not receive a complete analysis.

You can still keep the original link and return to the source. If processing fails, check the connection and the item’s available retry controls.

3. Save enough context for your future self

Put the link in a folder that matches a project or interest. Add a note when the reason you saved it is more specific than its title.

For a food article, your note might be “Try this coffee method on the weekend.” For a travel article, it might be “Compare this neighborhood with the other place we saved.”

Use favorites for links you expect to need soon. Mark a page as read after reviewing it, while keeping it available if it is still a useful reference.

4. Choose the easiest way back

Browse a folder when you know where an item belongs. Use search when you remember a subject or phrase. The title does not have to contain the exact words you type for meaning-based search to help.

Use Voice Recall when you want to describe the item aloud. For example: “Find that article about the morning coffee routine.” Recording requires microphone permission, and you can stop or cancel it from the control.

These features work with links saved in Recall. They do not search for a new page somewhere on the web.

5. Continue on iPad or Mac

If you would rather read on a larger screen, enable iCloud sync and use the same iCloud account on your Apple devices. Allow changes to synchronize before expecting the new link to appear elsewhere.

Recall requires iOS 26 or later on a compatible iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled. You can check the requirements and common questions before getting started.
