iPhone or iPad (Safari)

  1. Open Safari and go to the website.
  2. Tap the Share button (square with the upward arrow).
  3. Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Optionally edit the name, then tap Add.
  5. The icon now appears on your Home Screen. Tap it any time to open the site.


If you don’t see “Add to Home Screen”:


  • Make sure you’re using Safari, not Chrome or another browser.
  • Update iOS/iPadOS if needed. If it’s a work‑managed device, your admin may restrict this feature.


Android – Google Chrome

  1. Open Chrome and go to the website.
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu (top‑right).
  3. Tap Add to Home screen (sometimes Install the Chrome app for sites that support it).
  4. Edit the name if you like, then tap Add. On some phones you’ll confirm by tapping Add again or dragging the icon to a spot.


Android – Samsung Internet

  1. Open Samsung Internet and go to the website.
  2. Tap the ≡ menu.
  3. Tap Add page to → Home screen.
  4. Confirm Add.


Android – Firefox

  1. Open Firefox and go to the website.
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu.
  3. Tap Add to Home screen → Add.


Android – Microsoft Edge

  1. Open Edge and go to the website.
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu.
  3. Tap Add to phone / Add to Home screen (or Install app if offered), then Add.


Move or Remove the Shortcut

Move: Long‑press the icon, then drag it where you want.


Remove (iPhone/iPad): Long‑press the icon → Remove Bookmark (or Delete App if it installed as a web app) → confirm. This does not delete the website.


Remove (Android): Long‑press the icon → Remove. If it installed as a web app (PWA), you may see Uninstall.


FAQs & Troubleshooting

  • I can’t find “Add to Home Screen” on iPhone. Use Safari; other iOS browsers often don’t show this option. 


  • The icon looks generic. Some sites don’t provide an app icon. It will still work.


  • It says “Install app” on Android. That’s normal for sites that support Progressive Web Apps (PWA). Choose Install—it behaves like an app and still appears on your home screen.


  • Can I rename it? Yes—edit the name during the Add/Install step.
