Shortcuts: Apple's app comes pre-installed on your iPhone, but if you've deleted it, you can re-install it from the App Store.It may work on iOS 13 but has not been tested on older systems. iOS 14: The shortcut is optimized for iOS 14.Best of all, it showcases the website in full-screen, taking advantage of your entire display and getting rid of the distractions that normally appear in Safari and other web browsers. It's technically still a bookmark but won't open as a tab in your regular Safari session. With the profile, whatever site you set will open the URL as a web app in full-screen view - without any browser - so there's no URL or search bar and no toolbar at the bottom.

The shortcut we'll be using creates a WebClip device management profile you'll install on your iPhone. To make every site bookmark on your home screen look and feel like a standalone app, we can turn to Shortcuts.

It's quicker than typing a URL or search term in Safari, but it's the same old Safari experience. Home screen bookmarks for unconfigured web apps just open the sites in Safari and look like regular tabs. However, many sites do not provide an optimized standalone-like experience for their home screen icons. Site developers can even configure these types of shortcuts to look and behave like native iOS apps they can give their site a unique app icon, change the status bar's appearance, and hide Safari interface components.

In the browser, tap the Share button on a webpage, hit " Add to Home Screen," then select "Add." That gives you a home screen icon that looks just like other app icons but is merely a shortcut to the webpage chosen. If you have an iPhone, you can bookmark the web app on your home screen from Safari. Still, there's just something about an app on your home screen that makes it all so much easier. Web apps are now designed to scale to whatever the size of your screen is, so the mobile versions of desktop sites in your web browser are easy enough to navigate and utilize. Not all websites need a dedicated mobile app, which is why so many don't.
