Adding a card to your home screen
Anyone who got a cardAdd a card to your home screen and it opens with one tap from its own icon, like an app, with nothing to download from an app store.
On the card you were sent: the Save this card to your phone button
Last updated
Every card shows how, under Save this card to your phone. These are the steps for each phone.
iPhone (Safari)
Open the card in Safari.
Tap the Share button, the square with an arrow pointing up. It is at the bottom of the screen, or behind the ••• button on newer iPhones.
Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add. The card now opens from its own icon.
Using Chrome on iPhone? Tap Share in the address bar, then Add to Home Screen.
Android (Chrome)
Open the card in Chrome.
Tap the ⋮ menu in the top corner.
Tap Add to Home screen or Install app.
Tap Install or Add.
If the card shows an Add to home screen button, you can tap that instead: it asks the same question in one step. On Samsung Internet, tap the ≡ menu, then “Add page to”, then “Home screen”.
When you open the card from its icon, it says My Card Saved.
Notifications from a card on iPhone need iOS 16.4 or later, and appear only when you open the card from its home-screen icon: see Getting updates from a card.
