Remotely add website shortcuts to iPhone home screens with HexnodeSolved

Is there a way to remotely add website shortcuts to iPhone home screens? Some of the sites our users need do not have dedicated iOS apps, so we normally open the site in Safari and use Add to Home Screen manually. Looking for a way to push those shortcuts from Hexnode instead of doing it on each iPhone. The devices are not in kiosk mode.

Hello @shirleyc ,

Yes. You can deploy website shortcuts to iOS devices from Hexnode UEM as web apps/web clips.

Use the following workflow:

  1. Go to Apps > +Add apps > Web App.
  2. Add the website URL and configure the web app details such as the name and icon, if required.
  3. Add the web app.
  4. Deploy it to the iOS devices through a Web Clips policy.
  5. Associate the policy with the required devices or device groups.

Once the policy is applied, the website shortcut appears on the iPhone home screen like an app icon.
