Now more and more people are reading on mobile devices. If you have a favorite website you like to visit frequently, you can make it easy to access on your iPhone, iPod or iPAD with an icon on your home screen. Today I am going to share with you how to add a website’s icon on your iPhone, iPod and iPAD home screen, just like an app icon.
1. First, go to your web browser and open the website.
2. Tap on the Share button to the left of the address bar. This will bring up a drop down window with different sharing options. One of them is the website icon with “Add to Home Screen” below the icon. Tap on that.
3. Now you will see a window like below. Next to the icon of the website, type a name for that icon that is easy for you to recognize. For example: iGameMom. Then tap on the “Add” button.
4. Now you should see the website icon on your home screen, like the iGameMom icon in the picture below.
Hope this is helpful. While you are at it, why don’t try it now – add iGameMom on your home screen. It only takes 30 seconds.
so nice to know! This will make accessing informational sites for homeschooling soooo much easier on the iPad! Thank you for sharing!
It is handy sometime. Just note — not all websites have nice looking icon for it. You just need a good label for it.
