Popular demand (among new iPhone users) prompted me to add this quick, yet helpful iPhone tip. Don’t worry non-iPhone users…there is a tip for you at the end of the article…keep reading or skip to the end!
To add a web page or application you frequently use to your iPhone home screen:
- Start Safari
- Navigate to the page you want to add
- Tap the Add Bookmark button at the bottom of the screen (+ sign)
- Tap Add to Home Screen
- Type the name you want to attach to the bookmark or accept what is given
- Tap Add in the upper right hand corner
That’s it, easy, but extremely handy!Watch the short video below to see this tip in action.
After six plus months with my iPhone, I barely remember my trusty old Treo. I still hope that Apple (or some enterprising programmer) adds universal search to it and copy and paste, but otherwise the iPhone has exceeded my expectations.
For you non-iPhone users, I recommend this classic tip:

Rick, I have upgraded to the new software and this function which I have used in the past is no longer there. Have you checked this out? Thanks.
Which function are you referring to Allan?
Rick,
It is when I use the “+” key to create a shortcut on the iphone home screen. I use this in the past but the option “add to home screen” is not showing up after I upgraded to the latest software. I tried my wife’s iphone and it is still available since she has not updated her software. Can you verify it for me. Thanks.
You are in Safari when trying this right? If so, I also have the latest software updates and it works fine. Have you tried shutting down your iPhone totally, and restarting it?
