How to Add dApps to Favorites on MetaMask Mobile

Thanks to MetaMask’s intuitive design, adding dApps to your favorites is easy on the mobile app. Once you do it, the app jumps to the top of your list for instant access, whether swapping tokens or checking out an NFT drop. If you’ve ever bookmarked a website in your regular browser, you’ll find the process to bookmark dApps in MetaMask apps easy because the steps are similar.

The steps for adding dApps to your favorites are the same on both iOS and Android devices, ensuring you get a consistent experience regardless of which device you use. Follow the steps below to add and manage favorites in MetaMask:

Step 1: Open the MetaMask app on your phone and log in to your wallet account. Next, tap the Browser icon at the bottom of the home page.

Step 2: Use the search bar to find your dApp by typing its name or URL (e.g., uniswap.org or Uniswap).

Step 3: Once the page loads, tap the three-dot menu (…) in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Step 4: Select Add to Favorites from the options that pop up.

Step 5: You can rename the shortcut, then click Add to save.

How to Remove or Edit Favorite dApps in MetaMask Mobile

Removing or editing dApp favorites keeps your MetaMask browser shortcuts fresh and in tune with your preferences. The steps below provide a walkthrough on removing or editing favorite decentralized applications in MetaMask.

Step 1: Open the MetaMask mobile app and head to the Browser section.

Step 2: Tap the search bar at the top of the home page, as if you want to search for a new dApp.

FAQs

1. Can I remove a dApp from my favorites?

Yes, you can delete a dApp from your favorites at any time. Head to the favorites section in your MetaMask browser and click the delete icon next to the dApp you wish to remove.

2. What is the difference between a bookmark and a favorite?

In MetaMask Mobile, favorites are browser-specific bookmarks tailored for dApps, appearing in a dedicated tab for quick Web3 access.

3. Will my favorite dApps sync across multiple devices?

No, favorites are device-specific, so they won’t sync across multiple devices with the same account or on the browser extension.

4. Why can’t I find my favorite dApps in MetaMask?

If your favorite dApp isn’t showing, ensure you’re in the MetaMask browser’s Favorites tab, not your phone’s default browser. Check that you saved it correctly, and if it’s missing, try re-adding it by visiting the dApp and selecting Add to Favorites. Update the app to the latest 2025 version to avoid glitches, and clear the browser cache in Settings if needed.
