Can You Change the Added Icon?

When you add a website to your home screen from Safari, the icon image is automatically set using the site’s thumbnail or capture. Unfortunately, this means you can't change it using the standard method. However, you can customize the Shortcuts app with your favorite image! 🧚

How to Change the Icon

  1. Open the Shortcuts app and tap the "+" button in the top right corner.
  2. Tap "Search for apps and actions."
