        So again just guessing, you need to set GC as the home page in your browser, not the phone as such.

        Hello @Telmadee

        Try the following:

        To add websites to your home screen like apps, follow these steps:

        1. Open Safari. Other browsers, such as Chrome, won’t work for this.
        2. Navigate to the website you want to save to your home screen. Make sure you visit the exact page you want to open through the shortcut.
        3. Tap the Share button at the bottom of the page. It looks like a square with an arrow pointing out of the top.
        4. In the list of options that appears, scroll down until you see Add to Home Screen. Tap this.
        5. On the next screen, choose a name for the website shortcut on your home screen. You’ll see the link so you can confirm it, as well as the site’s favicon that becomes its “app” icon. Click Add when you’re done.
        6. Now just tap the new app on your home screen, and it will open the website in its own navigation window, independent of what you have open in Safari.
        I hope this helps.

        Kevin

                  No it's because I'm gormless and didn't have a clue, but I knew someone would come along eventually who knew what they was talking about. :biggrin:
