How to: create a website icon for your phone home screen

You probably know many of the icons on my phone's home screen. What you may not know is that you can create a shortcut icon for your own website, for quick one-tap access. See that purple M? That's the icon for our website.

How did I do that?

The process varies, depending whether you have an I-Phone or an Android. But no matter what system you use, it takes just a few steps

Let's look at I-Phone first.

1. Use Safari to go to your website.
2. Look at the bottom of your screen (left photo, above). See the box with the upwards arrow in the middle? Tap on it.
3. A pop up screen (right photo, above) will appear. Tap on the icon that says "Add to Home Screen."
That's it! You're done.

The process is just as quick for Android.
1. Use Google Chrome to go to your website.
2. At the right of your URL window the top of your screen, see the 3 vertical dots? Tap on those.
3. A pop-up window will appear (left photo, below). Tap on "Add to Home screen." Another window (right photo, below) will tell you "An icon will be added to your home screen so you can quickly access this website."
That's it! You're done.

Feel free to use this information to tell your audience how to create a shortcut to YOUR website.

Got any tips (on smart phones or anything else) that will help your local history peers? Contact Coordinator Marci Matson or comment here.
