Create iOS Home Screen Shortcuts on Chrome for iOS

Question

I have a web app that allows the user to add the web page to his home screen on the iphone.

That functionality exists with Safari.

Now they released the chrome browser for the iphone too. My question is how can I instruct the user to add the web page to his ios home screen. The chrome browser doesnt seem to have that functionality..? Can I add a shortcut from chrome options so that it would appear on the iphone home page?

Does Add to homescreen work on Chrome for iOS?

No.

Answer 2

Can't change the default browser, but try this (found online a while ago). Add a bookmark in Safari called "Open in Chrome" with the following.

javascript:location.href=%22googlechrome%22+location.href.substring(4);

Will open the current page in Chrome. Not as convenient, but maybe someone will find it useful.

Works for me.

Answer 3

没有用于在iOS中向主屏幕添加快捷方式的API，因此没有第三方浏览器能够提供该功能。
