How to add a Web Clip on an iOS device?

You can add Web Clips to the Home Screen of iPhone and iPad devices of individual users in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. Use the Web Clips to add Web Clips to the Home screen of the user’s device. Web Clips provide fast access to favourite web pages or links. For example, add a Web Clip with a phone number (using the format tel://12345678910) to provide a quick way to dial your support desk, or add the online WeGuard support link to the Home Screen by specifying the URL https://support.weguard.com.


Procedure to Add a Web Clip via the WeGuard Enterprise Portal


  • Login to WeGuard Console & click on “Policy Groups” from the “Dashboard”. Ex. “Default iOS DEP”.

    


  • Go to “Web Clips” and click on the “+” button.

                   

      

  • Assign the label for the shortcut and add the URL in the given space.     

                              

  • Once the required settings are set, click on Add. Then click on “Save and Continue”.

                        

             

  • The Web Clip will be added to the device's Home Screen automatically.

Note: If you manage the Safari app, you must do the following:

  • If Safari is hidden but not restricted, Safari opens the URL in the Web Clip and the user can open additional tabs.

  • If Safari is hidden and restricted, you must have the Web Clip open in full-screen mode. Because Safari is restricted, the user can’t open additional tabs.
