Add a website to your home screen or install it as an app (Chrome on Android)

Steps

  1. Open the website in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮).
  3. Tap Add to Home screen. If the site is installable, you may instead see Install app.
  4. Choose one of the options if asked:
    • Install (or Install app): adds it as an app that opens in its own window, without the address bar.
    • Create shortcut: adds a plain shortcut that opens the site in Chrome.
  5. Edit the name if you like, then tap Add or Install.
  6. If a prompt asks how to place it, tap Add automatically, or press and hold the icon and drag it where you want.

Find it later

  • Look on your home screen, or swipe up to open the app drawer and search by name.

Remove it

  • Press and hold the icon and choose Uninstall or Remove. For an installed app, you can also go to Settings → Apps and uninstall it.

Notes

  • Install app only appears for sites built as web apps (PWAs). For other sites you’ll see Add to Home screen, which makes a shortcut.
  • Some phones show a small install icon in the address bar. Tapping it does the same thing.
  • If the option is missing, update Chrome from the Play Store and reload the page.
