Mobile Phone icon  en

When I visit my website on my android phone and click on the "Add to Home screen" option, it creates an icon on my phone's home screen which is just the first letter of the website inside a square with rounded corners.

I'd like to create an image and use it as the icon that appears when someone elects to "add to home screen" (just like any other mobile app or website).

2 Questions:

  1. Where do I enter this image in the Website X5 Pro software so that it will appear on the phone's home screen as the icon?
  2. What are the recommended dimensions for the image to be used as the icon?

Hello Jason, standard no, but with some code, yes.

make a picture/icon in size 128x128, call it mobile_icon.jpg save it somewhere on your pc.

then goto step1 settings, - advanced TAB -> statistics and code -> use Code TAB

set there in the section before closing the head tag this code:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="128x128" href="files/mobile_icon.jpg">

below press add, in the pop up add the icon you have made, -> press ok.

Then upload and test.

Let me know if you still have questions.

Best Regards,
