How to Save a Website as an App on iPhone?

Published in Mobile Apps 2 mins read

You can't directly save a website as a native app on your iPhone, but you can create a shortcut to access it quickly and easily. Here's how:

1. Use the Safari Browser:

  • Open the website you want to save in the Safari browser.
  • Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing upwards).
  • Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  • You can then edit the name of the shortcut and tap Add.

This will create a shortcut icon on your home screen that will open the website in Safari.

2. Use Third-Party Apps:

  • Some third-party apps allow you to create app-like experiences for websites.
  • Examples:
    • Shortcuts: Allows you to create custom workflows for websites.
    • App Shortcuts: Provides shortcuts for popular websites and apps.

3. Consider a Progressive Web App:

  • Some websites offer progressive web apps (PWAs), which can function like native apps.
  • You can install a PWA from a website by tapping the Share button and selecting Add to Home Screen.

Note: Not all websites are compatible with PWAs.

By following these steps, you can easily access your favorite websites on your iPhone without having to open the Safari browser every time.
