Web Apps and Home Screen shortcuts on iOS

Web Apps on iOS are shortcuts that open websites in their own window as if they were independent apps. An alternative is a Home Screen shortcut, which looks the same on the Home Screen as a web app, but instead of opening the site in its own window, it opens in a new tab in the main Vivaldi window.

To create a web app:

1. Open the web page you want to add to the Home Screen.
2. Go to the  Vivaldi menu > Share Page.
3. Select Add to Home Screen.
4. If needed update the web app’s name.
5. Keep “Open as Web App” enabled.
6. Tap on Add.

To create a Home Screen shortcut:

1. Open the web page you want to add to the Home Screen.
2. Go to the  Vivaldi menu > Share Page.
3. Select Add to Home Screen.
4. If needed update the shortcut’s name.
5. Disable “Open as Web App”.
6. Tap on Add.
