[ios] Create iOS Home Screen Shortcuts on Chrome for iOS

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?

This question is related to ios google-chrome safari

The answer is

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.

Does Add to homescreen work on Chrome for iOS?

No.

The is no API for adding a shortcut to the home screen in iOS, so no third-party browser is capable of providing that functionality.
