Strange icon appeared on my phone

I noticed an icon on my phone appeared today. Not sure where it casme from. if I click on it, it opens a blank white screen. If I hold it down as I would to ninstall an app I do not get an uninstall option.

Does anyone recognise what this is?

Thanks

Hello,


In this case you may add a bookmark from Safari to your Home Screen,

scroll until:

  • Add a website icon to your Home Screen



I will recommand to tap edit Home Screen, then remove this bookmark with the (-) button.


I’ve just had the communities.apple.com bookmark on my Home Screen 🤓✅
