How to Save Articles to Read Later in Safari for Mac or iPhone/iPad – Guide
Safari’s built-in reading list tool lets you save articles for later viewing. Even better, you can continue reading these articles on other Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad. Apple’s native reading list solution is convenient and easy to use. The tool is ideal for those who only use Apple products as it is already built into Safari for iPhone, iPad and Mac. However, it is less useful if you use Mac and Windows products, for example, or iPhones and Android-based devices, as it is not yet available on non-Apple devices. A great alternative is the free Pocket app. ..
