How to import data from another browser into Safari on iPad

On iPad, you can import data into Safari that you exported from another browser. Browser data can include bookmarks, history, extensions, credit cards, and passwords.

The data can come as a ZIP file, and there might be individual files for each piece of browsing data, like bookmarks or history. After you import it, a description of the browser data appears, and any passwords go into the Passwords app. For security, you’ll want to delete the file or folder you imported, since it may include unencrypted data.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPad.
2. Tap Apps, then tap Safari.
3. Below History and Website Data, tap Import.
4. Tap Choose File and then choose a file (or a ZIP file of files) to import.

   Individual files might be available for each piece of browsing data, such as bookmarks or history.

5. Tap Import to Safari.

   A description of the browser data you imported appears.

   Note: Any passwords you import go into the Passwords app.

6. Tap Done.

   WARNING: For security, delete the file or folder you imported. It may include unencrypted data and could be visible to anyone who can access it.
