How to set up a scoreboard in Yandex browser on an Android phone

mobile data requires speed, and every extra click to go to your favorite resource is perceived as a waste of time. Tablo v Yandex browser solves this problem by providing instant access to frequently visited pages immediately after launching the application. However, by default, the algorithms generate this panel automatically, based on the browsing history, which does not always correspond to the real needs of the user.

Fortunately, the interface of the mobile version allows you to completely take control into your own hands. You can manually pin important services, remove unnecessary ones, and even integrate useful weather or news widgets directly into the start screen. This turns the browser from a simple browsing tool into a personal hub for daily tasks.

In this article we will analyze in detail how to set up a scoreboard for yourself, using all the available functions on the platform Android. We will consider not only the basic operations of adding and deleting, but also hidden features that will help make your work on the network as efficient as possible.

Basic principles of the scoreboard

Essentially, the scoreboard is a dynamic grid of bookmarks that is updated in real time. Algorithms Yandex analyze the frequency of your visits to sites and suggest appropriate tiles. But automation is not always ideal: sometimes it suggests sites that you used once six months ago, ignoring current priorities.

The main feature of the system is the ability to manually manage content. You are not strictly tied to the search engine's suggestions. Pinning sites allows you to pin certain tiles at the top of the list so that they never disappear when you clear your history or change your surfing habits.

It is important to understand that the board is synchronized with your account. If you are logged into your Yandex ID, then the customized panel will be available on other devices, be it a tablet or a desktop version of the browser. This provides a unified ecosystem of access to information.

⚠️ Attention: If you use incognito mode, visited sites are not saved in history and, therefore, do not appear on the scoreboard automatically. To access such resources, you must add them manually.

How to add a site to the board manually

The most direct way of personalization is to add the necessary resources yourself. The procedure is intuitive, but has its own nuances depending on the interface version. First, you need to go to the site that you want to pin and wait for it to fully load.

Next, open the browser menu by clicking on the three dots at the bottom or top of the screen (the location depends on the interface settings). In the drop-down list, select Add to Tableau. The system will instantly create a new tile with the site's favicon and its name.

• 📌 Open the desired web resource in the current tab.
• 📌 Click on the menu button (three horizontal dots or stripes).
• 📌 Select option Add to Tableau or Pin.
• 📌 Check the appearance of a new tile on the start page.

After adding, you can change the order of the tiles. To do this, just hold your finger on the site icon and drag it to the desired location in the grid. The first four cells are usually considered priority and are displayed most prominently.

Removing unnecessary tiles and cleaning

Over time, the board can turn into a dump of outdated links. To maintain order, you need to regularly remove unnecessary items. This can be done both for automatically suggested sites and for manually assigned ones.

The removal process has been simplified as much as possible by the developers. You don't need to go into deep settings. It is enough to find the extra tile on the start screen and use the context menu called up by long pressing or the cross in the corner of the icon.

Action: Long press on the tile -> Cross -> Confirm

It is worth noting the difference between deleting from the scoreboard and deleting from history. By removing a tile, you do not erase data about your visit to the site from the general browser history, unless you do this separately in the corresponding section of the settings. This allows you to flexibly manage visibility without losing the archive of visits.

⚠️ Attention: Removing a tile from the board does not delete the bookmark itself if it was saved in a separate bookmarks folder. Check the section Bookmarksif you want to clear everything completely.

Display settings and widgets

Modern versions Yandex browser on Android allow you to go beyond simple links. The scoreboard can display up-to-date information without having to go to the website. This is implemented through a system of built-in widgets.

To activate this function, go to the scoreboard settings. This is usually done through the "Customize screen" button or a similar item in the start page menu. Here you can enable the display of news, exchange rates, weather or traffic conditions.

Widget type	Description of functionality	Network requirements
Weather	Temperature and forecast for day	Geolocation + Internet
Currency rates	Current Central Bank quotes	Internet only
News	Main feed events	Internet only
Traffic	Road congestion map	Geolocation + Internet

Using widgets requires a constant connection to the network, as the data is updated in real time. If you are saving bandwidth, it is recommended to disable automatic updating of heavy media elements in your browser settings.

How to disable the smart feed?

The smart news feed can be distracting. To hide it, go to Settings -> Interface -> and disable the “Show recommendations feed on the start page” item.

Data synchronization and recovery

One ​​of the key functions of the ecosystem is cloud synchronization. It ensures that your personal scoreboard configuration will not be lost when you change your phone or reinstall the application. For this function to work, you need an active Yandex ID.

When you log into your account, all pinned sites and widget settings are loaded from the cloud. This is especially convenient when moving to a new device: you don’t have to search and add dozens of your favorite resources again. The process occurs automatically in the background.

If you notice that the display is empty after installing the browser, check the synchronization status. Go to Settings -> Synchronization and make sure that the switch is active and the correct account is selected. Sometimes you need to manually click the "Synchronize now" button.

• ☁️ Log in to your Yandex account through the profile menu.
• ☁️ Check the box next to the "Scoreboard and bookmarks" item.
• ☁️ Wait until the data is downloaded from the server.
• ☁️ Restart the browser to apply the changes.

Solving common problems with the scoreboard

Users may encounter a situation where the scoreboard stops updating, tiles are displayed incorrectly, or new sites are not added. Most often, the reason lies in a full application cache or failures in background processes.

The first step should always be clearing the cache. This is a secure operation that does not delete your passwords or bookmarks, but it does reset temporary interface files. Go to your phone's settings, find the "Applications" section, select Yandex browser and click "Clear cache".

If the problem persists, try updating the application itself via Google Play. Developers regularly release patches that correct bugs in the display of graphic elements. An outdated version of the software may conflict with new site favicon formats.

⚠️ Attention: The interface of mobile applications is updated frequently. If you do not find the described buttons, check the official Yandex help, since the arrangement of elements may change in the new version.

Optimization for quick access

Proper setup of the scoreboard is not just a matter of aesthetics, but also a way to increase productivity. Place the most frequently used services (mail, instant messengers, work tools) in the first visible area of ​​the screen. This will reduce search time to a minimum.

Use folders if the browser supports tile grouping (this feature is available in some versions). This allows you to fit dozens of links into one compact area without cluttering up the main space of the start screen.

It is also worth paying attention to the color scheme. A dark theme not only saves battery on OLED screens, but also makes high-contrast website icons more visible. You can switch the theme in the general application settings in the "Design" section.

Is it possible to change the size of the tiles on the scoreboard?

In the standard mobile version of the Yandex browser, resizing individual tiles is not provided. The grid adapts automatically to the screen size and device orientation (portrait or landscape).

Why are some sites displayed without icons?

This happens if the site does not have a file favicon.ico or the browser could not load it due to connection problems. Try updating the site page and adding it to the board again.

Does the board synchronize with the computer version?

Yes, provided that you use the same Yandex ID and bookmark synchronization is turned on. However, the location of the tiles may differ due to the different screen widths of the monitor and smartphone.

How can I return a deleted tile if I change my mind?

You cannot automatically return a deleted tile if it has not been pinned to bookmarks. You will need to go to the site again and add it to the board manually through the browser menu.
