Safari isn't the only web browser on your iPhone or iPad that will let you add icons to your Home Screen for progressive web apps and website bookmarks. Apple gave developers the key to its "Add to Home Screen" feature, and your favorite iOS or iPadOS web browser may already support it. Since iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4, third-party mobile web browsers have had the tools needed to implement Add to Home Screen. If supported, whether it's your default browser or not, you can add shortcuts for web apps to your Home Screen that will open in their own WebView instances. To add to that functionality, as of iOS 17.0 and iPadOS 17.0, Apple now includes support for Add to Home Screen in Safari View Controller, the self-contained web interface available in non-browser apps. If you're favorite iOS web browser supports Add to Home Screen, that's just one more reason to make it your default over Safari.
