I want to save a frequently used website on my Home screen. I went to the website I’d like to save on my Home screen, tapped on the share button which opens sharing but I do not have the option to add to home page. I share this iPad with my iPhone. I’m thinking it may be a setting that needs to be turned on that is off but I don’t know. Any suggestions? Thank you
iPad, iOS 12
It's actually pretty simple. Simply open the web page on Safari. Then when the page opens, on the bottom of the page is a box with an up arrow. Tap that box. Scan to the left and you'll see a box with + in it which says, Add to Home Screen. Tap that and the website shortcut will be added to your Home Screen.
I just went back & it does provide me now with that choice to save to home screen where it hadn’t before. It appears that I needed to download the Shortcuts App Library! Thanks again!
I got it! I downloaded the shortcuts app library & entered it there & it worked by providing the Add to Home Screen which it wouldn’t before. I am going to go back & check both safari & google now to see if it will allow me now since I downloaded the App library. I’ll let you know if it is available now if you’d like but thanks so much for your help!
Yes, exactly BUT when I do that, where you see the different options, the Add to Home Screen choice is not there. I did find the Apple Shortcuts App & have downloaded that. I’ll let you know if this helps with my issue! Thx
Have you read this link: Run shortcuts from the iOS Home screen - Apple Support
Thank you, no I haven’t, however, I don’t know even what the shortcuts app library is. I just browsed through applications & didn’t see anything
Yes, please let me know. I have the shortcuts app, yet I still have the Add to Home Screen in Safari.
I'm glad you've got it working now. Maybe some time ago, I added the Add To Home Screen from the Shortcuts App, but don't remember having done so?
You're very welcome!
rbrylawski suggested I read the Apple Suport article, Run shortcuts from the IOS Home screen. I did, & downloaded the shortcuts app, & problem is solved! Thanks, rbrylawski!
