Google Chrome is one of the most prominent names in the world of web browsers. With millions of users, the browser is introducing a new feature today. Chrome has brought a new feature for iPhone and iPad users to enhance their efficiency in using the browser. Additionally, users will have the opportunity to add their favorite websites to the iOS home screen.

Adding web apps to the home screen is now possible!

Google Chrome, which is used on over 3 billion devices worldwide, has taken a significant step for iOS users today. According to emerging reports, Chrome for iOS will now allow users to add web apps to their home screen.

In addition, it will be possible to add third-party applications to the iPhone and iPad home screen as web apps. According to reports, users will gain access to this feature with the latest update to Google Chrome for iOS.

This feature means that a user can save a website for quick access on their home screen. Previously, this option was limited to Apple’s web browser, Safari. The release notes of the update included the following statement: “You can now add URLs or progressive web apps to your home screen.”

Of course, this feature is applicable to the latest version of Google Chrome for iOS and devices running iOS 16.4 or later. The reason being that earlier versions of the operating system lack this API.

When you add a web app to the iOS home screen, you can use it just like a regular app. Additionally, this means that you won’t be redirected to open the app in Safari, Chrome, or any other browser.

Looking at this feature, it indicates that Apple is finally taking steps to embrace web apps. You can download Google Chrome for iOS from the App Store. If the app is already installed, make sure to check for updates to get the latest features.
