How can I create shortcuts for websites in Chrome on Android?

You can create shortcuts for websites using Google Chrome on Android to access your favorite pages directly from your home screen.

First, open Chrome and go to the website you want to create a shortcut for. Make sure the page is fully loaded.

Next, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. From the menu, select Add to Home screen.

A prompt will appear allowing you to rename the shortcut if you want. After that, tap Add, then confirm by placing the icon on your home screen.

Once added, the website will appear as an icon on your home screen. Tapping it will open the site instantly in Chrome. For some websites, it may open in a standalone view that looks like an app, depending on how the site is designed.

You can move the shortcut, group it into folders, or remove it just like any other app icon on your device.
