How do I have a a 'one click' app for a web page?

[earlybutternut]

There is a web page I use often and instead of going into the web app and selecting it from saved pages I wonder if it is possible to have an icon on one of my phones pages so I just 'click' it and it goes straight to the page I want (using a browser I assume?)

You can add a shortcut in your screen from the browser. In Chrome, for example, open the page, tap on the three dots top right and select "add to homescreen".

I cannot seem to do this on my phone (Huawei ascend y300), using Chrome I can find a setting "Request Desktop..." with a check box next to it but this does not seem to do what I want. Top right of chrome page is a small box which opens 3 tabs in Chrome.

Strange. Nothing like this?

You have to open a page to get that setting.

Interesting! I can get up the same list as you show with significant differences, I have find in page, share, etc. but no 'Add to home screen' as you have circled. I go 'find in page' and then 'request desktop ...'. Also I have no 3 dots next to the '3' I get the list by selecting an options list where your small square box is at the bottom on the phone. Must be differences in implementation of the OS.

Many thanks for you help anyway.

Again, thanks.
