With the prevalence of mobile devices, many users may want to create an app-like experience from their favorite web pages. For iPhone and iPad users, Safari provides a feature that can add a web page to the home screen, acting very much like an app. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make an app from a web page on Safari.
Step 1: Open Safari
Begin by opening the Safari browser on your iPhone or iPad.
Step 2: Navigate to the Web Page
Go to the web page that you wish to save as an app on your home screen.
Step 3: Tap the Share Button
Look for the share button – it usually appears as an icon with an arrow pointing upwards out of a box. Tap on it.
Step 4: Scroll Through the Options
Once you’ve tapped the share button, a menu will appear with different actions. Swipe left or right until you see the “Add to Home Screen” option.
Step 5: Add to Home Screen
Tap “Add to Home Screen.” You will then have a chance to rename the web page if you want something shorter or more descriptive as your app name.
Step 6: Editing the Name (Optional)
Edit the name of your shortcut if desired. This is what will appear underneath its icon on your home screen.
Step 7: Finalize Adding Your App
After renaming, tap “Add” in the upper-right corner of the screen. The icon for your new web app will now appear on your home screen just like any other app.
Keep in mind that this ‘web app’ will still open in Safari, but it gives you quick and direct access as though it were a standalone application. You can move and organize this new icon just like any other app on your home screen.
By following these simple steps, you’ve learned how to turn any web page into an app using Safari’s convenient features available on iOS devices.
