Google Chrome now lets you add web apps to your iPhone's home screen, just like Safari. The goal is to make your browsing experience as smooth as possible and make it easier to access frequently visited websites. In this post, we'll look at how to use this feature and how to make the most of Google Chrome's newest update.

Enhancing the iPhone User Experience

Google Chrome is taking a big step to improve the overall browsing experience for iPhone users. Since the release of iOS 16.4, Apple has been emphasizing the importance of web apps. With the release of the update, some notable features were added to the home screen, such as third-party apps and web push notifications. 

Enabling Web App Creation

In the latest version of Chrome, Google has made it possible to add your favorite websites directly to your iPhone home screen. According to product hunter Chris Messina, who posted the news on Instagram’s Threads, iPhone users can now use Google Chrome for iOS to create Progressive Web App shortcuts. By tapping on the "Share" option and selecting "Add to Home Screen," you can add your favorite websites to your iPhone’s home screen. This feature was already available on Safari, but now Chrome users can add their favorite web apps to their home screens with ease.

Seamless Functionality

Adding a web application to your iPhone’s home screen turns it into a normal app. You can open and use your web app directly without being taken to Safari or another browser. These web apps also have the added benefit of sending push notifications, just like native apps.
