This wikiHow will show you how to install web apps on iPhone or iPad. In order to do so, open Safari and add the website with the web app to your home screen.

Steps

1
Open Safari. This app has a compass icon on a blue background.

Navigate to the website with the web app. Currently, only a small selection of sites have web apps, but any site can be added as an "app" on the home screen.
- If the website does not have a web app, then the site will open in a browser window instead when you try to launch it.
