How to add a website to your Android home screen

To add a website to an Android home screen, open Google Chrome and go to the website. Then drop down the menu by tapping the three-dot icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen. Select Add to Home screen. Note that if the website has an app in the Play Store, the Add to Home screen option will be replaced by Install app.

Next, you have the opportunity to edit the title of the icon. Once the title looks fine, tap Add to transfer it to the home screen.

If you now go back to your screen, you will see the icon. You will also see the Chrome icon attached, which means that you cannot switch the icon to another browser.

In the menu, scroll down and select Add to Home Screen.

If you want, edit the title of the site as it will appear on your screen. When everything is to your satisfaction, tap Add.

The icon is now there, ready to use.

The Add to Homescreen option is available through the Share menu in Safari on your iOS device. If you're not seeing the option, it's possible that you are viewing the app on an unsupported browser.
