How do I remove a bookmark I no longer need?

Go to Bookmarks & History, find the entry, and use the delete option next to it. This only removes the saved shortcut, not the website itself.

Can I rename a bookmark after saving it?

Yes. Open Bookmarks & History, select the bookmark, and choose the edit option to change its title without changing the linked URL.

Why did my bookmarks disappear after a system update?

Bookmarks are stored locally by the browser app. Clearing app storage or data, or a factory reset, removes them since they are not always backed up automatically.

Does adding a bookmark also save it to my browsing history?

No. Browsing history logs every visited page automatically, while a bookmark is a separate, permanent entry you create manually via Add to... ➔ Confirm with OK.

Huawei: Add or Remove Bookmarks in the Browser App

Losing track of frequently visited pages in the Huawei Browser app is a common annoyance once bookmarks are missing or scattered without order. Without a saved shortcut, you end up retyping URLs or scrolling through browsing history every time you need a page again. The save option sits in a spot many people overlook, and removing old bookmarks later works differently than adding them.

Add or Remove Browser Bookmarks auf Huawei

The Huawei Browser app does not save a page automatically just because you visited it. A bookmark only exists once you actively confirm the save action from the page menu, which is why the shortcut often seems to be missing.

To bookmark the current page, open Open the Browser app ➔ Open the menu ➔ Tap on Add to... ➔ Confirm with OK. This stores the page as a bookmark instead of just adding it to your temporary browsing history.

Where saved bookmarks live

Every bookmark you add is collected under the Bookmarks & History section of the browser. From there you can open, edit, or delete any entry without repeating the save steps.

Removing a bookmark does not delete the actual website, only the saved shortcut. If a bookmark disappears unexpectedly, check whether browsing data or app storage was cleared, since that can wipe locally stored bookmarks on EMUI.

Editing a bookmark, for example renaming it, is done from the same Bookmarks & History list rather than from the page itself.

Frequently asked questions

Open the browser menu and select Bookmarks & History. Every page you confirmed with OK during the add step appears there, sorted by save order.
