·Most of you will probably already be aware of this but I thought I'd post it here just incase someone doesn't know this little trick.
How to create your own Omega Forums mobile app. A step by step guide for iPhones.
1. On your mobile phone open a browser and navigate to Omega Forums.
2. Navigate to the page you visit most, for me it's the 'Latest' section.
3. Click the browser's menu bar (not Omega Forum's menu bar). This usually looks like three horizontal, stacked bars. Or some browsers have a 'share' page button.
4. Look for and click the 'Share' option from this menu.
5. Within that menu scroll down to an option titled 'add to home screen'.
6. Click this option and an app icon will be added in amongst your other iPhone apps.
7. It will give you an option to name the new 'app' then click 'save'
8. Close the browser, find the new Progressive Web 'app' that's just been added and you now have a new dedicated Omega Forums app. I added mine to the main app tool bar.
9. The one difference to the browser site is that there's no back button to navigate back to where you've come from. To navigate back hold your finger on the far left of your screen and swipe to the right side of the screen. This will take you back to the page you just came from.
Again I'm fully aware that most of you already know how to do this, just thought I'd add it for people who don't.
