Have a favorite website and curious how to bookmark it directly on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad home screen? Apple provides a WebClip feature that means you don't even have to launch Safari to get to your bookmark. We'll show you how after the break!
To add a WebClip bookmark icon to your home screen:
- Launch Safari
- Go to the web page you want to bookmark
- Tap the "action" button (+ button on older versions of iOS)
- If the web site has a proper iOS icon you'll see it here, otherwise you'll see a screen capture of the page you're bookmarking.
- Edit the bookmark name to whatever you like. Shorter works better.
- Tap Add
Its as simple as that, if you have any other websites that you visit on a regular basis, you can add them to your home screen and launch them like you would launch any application. Hope you found this helpful!
