Each saved article displays its favicon (site icon), article title, and a brief summary. Tapping Unread at the top of the list shows only unread articles, newest at the top; tapping All shows all articles (with read articles slightly grayed out). Tap any article to open it. To delete an item from your Reading List in iOS, simply swipe to the right over the article name and then tap the Delete button that appears.

Safari's Reading List feature still isn't as good as services such as Instapaper and Pocket, which offer more features and better article-reading layouts, but Reading List is at least now more useful than a list of bookmarks.

(Note that the offline feature of Reading List is available only on the iPhone 4 or later and the iPad 2 or later.)

One of the most-requested features added to Safari in iOS 6 is media uploading. When using a website that allows you to upload photos or videos--for example, Ebay, Craigslist, or a photo-sharing site--tapping the Upload or Choose File button on a webpage gives you the option to choose an existing photo or video from your Photos library, or to take a photo or video using your device's camera. For the former, you just navigate to an album and then tap on the image you want to use; it's immediately uploaded to the site. For the latter, after you take the photo or video, if you're satisfied with the way it turned out, tap the Use button to upload it.
