How to save URL to homescreen? It doesn't keep the link! Grrr

Hi all, so as per title, when I use browser app to make a pwa or ‘add to homescreen’ it works, but then opens the home page not the actual link I had created. From memory there was a hack where you would put your phone offline, airplane mode I think’ and then it would save the link. But doesn’t work anymore. Any1 have any solutions? Tx

I can’t duplicate this error with Firefox.
What browser are you using?
What version of Android?
Which launcher?

I recently started using an app called Hermit to address a similar problem. It lets you create “lite apps” from any URL. Maybe it’d work for you?

Seconding Hermit, it’s a really useful tool for websites you visit often enough to wish they had an app.

I mostly use it for a football ⚽ forum I’m on, and it’s a better experience than opening my browser and going to the site each time, as there are some degrees of customisation of the experience.

user OP ,

Tx did solve my problem. But ads on yt music grr. I’ve just made a bookmark for brave, for no ads on playback and background play . if no other solution presents itself.

Make a website icon with this: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atolpha…And set to open with default (your current browser or yt music) or whatever you want that supports links
