Galaxy S II: The Missing Manual

Most Visited and History Lists

YOU GO TO YOUR Bookmarks, you see two more ways to browse sites that you’ve been to before—“Most visited” and History. The Galaxy S II keeps track of sites you’ve visited, and puts these two lists together based on that. They’re great ways (in addition to Bookmarks) to head back to sites you’ve visited before without having to type—or even remember—the web address.

To see the “Most visited” list, tap the “Most visited” button at the top of the Bookmarks screen. To see the History list, tap the History button.

Note

The “Most visited” and History lists don’t give you the option of viewing sites as thumbnails, only as lists.

These lists work much like the Bookmarks list—tap the site you want to visit. You’ll notice one difference between these lists and the Bookmarks list: The sites all have stars to the right of them, some gold, some gray. A red star indicates that the site is on your Bookmarks list. Tapping a gray star adds that site to your Bookmarks (and turns the star gold). To remove a site from your Bookmarks list, tap a gold star. It turns gray, and the site gets removed from your Bookmarks list.

The History list shows you not just sites you’ve visited today, but yesterday, in the last seven days, and a month ago. Rather than show you all the sites you visited before today, the Galaxy S II shows the day (Yesterday, “Last 7 days,” and so on), with an arrow next to it. Tap the arrow, and you see the full list of sites for that day.
