How to get to previous page on iPad?

Can anyone tell me how to reurn to the previous page on the iPad 2? If I use the back arrow, it usually takes me back to a previously viewed website. Also, is there any way to store favorite websites? Thanks.

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3

The Previous page is kind of vague, and may depend on how the website is made.


The Back arrow in Safari will take you to the last visited address. Wether that's your last page is not certain.


Some websites do not have physical page changes so nothing to go back to. They change the content of the same page.


To store favorites or Bookmarks, tap on the twisted arrow icon that's on the left side of the address bar. Then tap on Bookmark.


When you want to access the favorites, tap on the little book icon to the left of the twisted arrow, and tap on the bookmarks tab if its not selected and then tap on the link you want to open.

As I said, it depends on how the website is made. Some websites simply load page content onto the same page so going back there is no other page and the browser simply leaves the website.


You can tap and hold down the back button to get a list of the possible pages you can go back to, if the page you were on is not listed there, then you cannot get back to it.


The Website may have navigation of its own, like a page counter you can use to move back.
