Add a Website Shortcut to Your iPhone Home Screen

Steps to Add a Website Shortcut to Your iPhone Home Screen

  1. Open the Website in Safari:
    • Open Safari (the default browser on your iPhone).
    • Navigate to the website you want to create a shortcut for by entering its URL. 
  2. Access the Share Menu:
    • Once the website loads, tap the Share button (a square with an upward arrow). This button is usually located at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Add to Home Screen:
    • Scroll through the list of options in the Share menu and select Add to Home Screen.
      • If you don’t see this option immediately, scroll down further in the list.
  4. Customize the Name (Optional):
    • A screen will appear where you can customize the name for the shortcut (this is what will appear under the icon on your home screen).
    • Shorten the name if needed, so it fits neatly under the icon.
  5. Save the Shortcut:
    • Tap Add in the top-right corner. The icon will now appear on your home screen.
  6. Test the Shortcut:
    • Tap the new icon on your home screen to ensure it opens the website in Safari as expected.
