How do I add a web page to my Home Screen and clear my browser after the latest iPhone update?

Just updated my phone with the latest update. All the simple tasks that we were used to do, like adding a web page to your Home Screen or clearing your browser, how did this happen?

The "Add to Home Screen" option hasn't gone anywhere. Its still in the Share menu.


You can tap the (...) icon at the bottom right of the screen, and then on Share and then scroll down the list to find the "Add to Home Screen" option.


What exactly do you mean by "clearing your browser"? The option to clear cache and website datasets is still in Safari's Settings in the Settings app ➜ Apps ➜ Safari.

The option to do so from the Bookmarks Menu / History also still there under the (...) icon.


If you mean something else, please clarify.


While you are in Safari's Settings you can return Safari to its previous layout style by selecting the "Top" layout in the Tabs section.


In the meantime, I would suggest the iOS 26 user guide.
