Safari and iCloud

I have saved a lot many things in reading lists on safari on my iPhone. I was wondering if there was a way for me to store those reading lists in iCloud such that if I buy a new device in the future or if I wish to view them in my Mac I can access them easily ??


iPhone 11, iOS 14

This is done for you provided that your device is signed into your iCloud account. Apple notes here that "Safari uses iCloud to keep your Reading List the same on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac computers that have Safari turned on in iCloud preferences. With iCloud, your Reading List and bookmarks are archived automatically, and you can restore them from an earlier version at any time."


When you buy a new device (an iPhone in your example) this will be downloaded as part of your iCloud sign in process.


Your Mac will also synchronise to this list, as described in the linked page above.
