How to turn any website into a mobile app on your iPhone

If there are websites you check a lot on your phone but either the site:

 

a) Doesn’t have a mobile app

 

or

 

b) Has a mobile app that sucks

 

You can still get quick access to it by saving it as an icon on your home screen. To do this follow these steps:

 

1. Open the Safari mobile app and go to the mobile website

 

2. Hit the share button

 

3. Hit “Add to Home Screen”

 

4. Rename the website to something shorter and mobile friendly for display purposes

 

And voila. Now your favorite website is a mobile app.
