Creating a Website Shortcut on Android Google Chrome
Follow the steps below to create a shortcut for a website in Google Chrome on Android.
1. Navigate to the Website You Want to Create a Shortcut For
Open Google Chrome and enter the URL of the website you want to save as a shortcut. Once the website loads, you’re ready to proceed with creating the shortcut. For example, we want to create a shortcut for “bbc.com/sport.”
2. Tap the Three Dots in the Top-Right Corner to Open the Menu
In the top-right corner of Chrome, tap the three vertical dots to open the browser’s menu. This menu gives you access to various options and actions.
3. Scroll Down and Select “Add to Home Screen” from the Menu
In the options that appear, scroll down until you see “Add to Home Screen.” This option will allow you to place a shortcut for the current website directly on your phone’s home screen.
Choose “Create a shortcut.”
4. Edit the Shortcut Name if Needed, Then Confirm
A pop-up will show the website name. You can edit this name to something shorter or more recognizable, or leave it as is. Once you’re happy with the name, click “Add” to confirm it.
5. Tap “Add” to Place the Shortcut on Your Home Screen
After confirming the name, tap “Add.” You might see another pop-up, asking if you want to add it automatically or place it manually. Choose the option that works best for you.
6. Find and Tap the New Shortcut on Your Home Screen to Open the Website
