The Truth about Bookmarks?
There is no way that you can recover your deleted bookmarks, I am assuming that is how you would think.
Well, the truth is if you have enabled iCloud as a backup option on your iPhone, then suddenly you do not have to worry because all of your bookmarks are saved in the iCloud. All you have to do is visit iCloud and restore it easily. However, if you have not enabled iCloud as a backup for your iPhone, then you are in trouble that time you may think that you can’t recover your deleted Safari bookmarks.
The answer is not apparently what you think, whenever you bookmark a website it will also be restored in the file system of your iPhone. This means whenever the bookmarks are deleted from your safari browser, it is still untouchable in the file system. All you have to do is extract the bookmarks from the file system. There is a couple of software and applications that you can use to recover your deleted bookmarks and in this article, you are going to learn exactly how to do it.
How to Recover Deleted Safari Bookmarks on iPhone?
By now you must know that there are only two ways that you can use to recover deleted safari bookmarks on your iPhone.

- The next method is to use the recovery software applications to restore your deleted safari bookmarks on your iPhone.
1. Recover Deleted Safari Bookmarks using iCloud
You are in luck if you had enabled iCloud as a backup option to save your files. Because iCloud is also going to save your browser’s bookmarks too. And recently if the bookmarks are deleted, just like a trash can on the Mac OS and on your iPhone, the deleted bookmarks will be available for 30 days in the trash can on the iCloud. It means you can visit icloud.com and visit the trash can and simply restore the deleted bookmarks of the safari.

- log in with your credentials.
- Click on your profile and choose account settings.
- Find the advanced settings, under the advanced settings you will see “restore bookmarks” click on it.

If 30 days have passed skip this method and use the second method to recover deleted safari bookmarks.
- Once the selected bookmarks are restored, restart safari, and everything will be there.
