Add Safari Website Shortcut on Home Screen on iPhone and iPad (Quick Guide)
It’s worth pointing out up front that you can take advantage of this feature even in the older versions of iOS. Hence, even if your iPhone is not running the latest iteration of iOS, you can bring it into play.
- First off, open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Now, head over to the website (like GeekChamp), which shortcut you would like to place on the Home Screen.
- Next, tap on the Share icon.
- Next up, select Add to Home Screen in the share sheet.
- After that, give a suitable name to the shortcut and hit Add at the top right to finish. That’s done! Now, go to the Home Screen to check the website URL. All you need to do to visit the site is just hit the shortcut. Note that you can repeat the same steps to add shortcuts to many sites.

So, that’s how you can place a website shortcut on your iPhone Home Screen. Ever since I came across this tip, I have been using it to quickly access my favorite sites. Thanks to the addition of several impressive features like privacy reports, pinning tabs, saving web pages to Quick Note, and access-only specific tabs during Focus Mode, Safari has become far more user-friendly than before. Not to mention, the Apple browser has also got a pretty solid collection of extensions to take on Google Chrome that is still ruling across platforms. That said, what do you have to say about this time-saving hack and whether or not you find it neat? Be sure to shoot your thoughts in the comments below.
