You can get favicon of any website using its url string.Lets take an example in which we're trying to get favicon of google :

NSString *myURLString = @"http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=www.stackoverflow.com";
NSURL *myURL=[NSURL URLWithString: myURLString];
NSData *myData=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:myURL];

UIImage *myImage=[[UIImage alloc] initWithData:myData];

This method of getting favicon worked nicely for me.

All the best.
