How to find links shared with you in Safari on iPad

You can easily find and organize web links that friends share with you in Messages conversations. Links shared with you are added to the Shared with You section of the Sidebar in Safari, and you can keep them on your start page, remove them, or organize related links into Tab Groups.

You can display them on your Safari start page, so you see them every time you open a new page, and you can continue the conversation without leaving Safari.
