How to Pin Link to Home Screen

[bill77056]

I have several items such as news links, weather and phone numbers that were placed on the home screen some time ago.

Now, I am not able to create and add links to the home screen.

How does one add links and Contact phone numbers to the home screen?

TIA… Bill

For a web link, open Chrome > website you want a shortcut for > 3 dot menu > Add To Homescreen > give it a name and click Add.

For the Contacts I think the Moto X has this option. Long press your screen and select Widgets > find Contacts 1 X 1 and tap it > select the Contact you want to assign and a shortcut icon will be placed on your homescreen.

Sajo, thank you for your response. I did more investigation.

There is now an option on my Chrome Menu to "Install web app." While I don't exactly recall the precise wording, earlier there was an option to "add to home screen." Similar situation with Contacts. Selecting the "install..." does place the items on the home screen.
