How can you save a website as an app-like icon to your iPhone or iPad?
Saving a website shortcut to the home screen of your iPhone or iPad is pretty easy but the time it will save you when you are on the go makes the pay-off much greater.
1. First things first, you need to navigate to the website you want to save. In order for the shortcut to be an option, you need to use Safari to pull up the site.
2. At the bottom of the Safari browser, find and tap on the share icon on the menu bar – it looks like a box with an up arrow.
3. From the list of share options, choose Add to Home Screen.
4. An app-looking icon will pre-populate. Give it a name that is recognizable to you.
5. Once you click Add at the top, your new ‘app’ will appear on your home screen for you to organize if you wish!
6. And that is it, my friend! Your new ‘app’ will appear in the next available space on your phone or iPad’s home screen.
