Is there a way to customize safari bookmarks' icons

I guess the question says it all.

I would like to customize the generic bookmarks' icons in the safari Favorites page.

Any way to do that?

Old question, but still an issue. I had searched for a solution myself but after reading this and other sites saying no, it can't be done I gave up. Then by accident I discovered how to change them :) You are limited to what pictures you can use, and any bookmark that already has a picture of the company logo will not change.

Open a safari page.

Tap on the bookmarks icon.

Tap favourites.

Tap edit.

Select a bookmark with a generic letter-in-a-cube pic and tap at the start of the name.

Switch to emoji keyboard and select a relevant pic.

Tap done!


Here's a before and after shot of my favourites screen so you can see what I mean :D
