Add Fargo Underground to your Smartphone Homescreen

Did you know you can use Fargo Underground like an app on your smartphone or tablet? It’s easy to add an icon to your homescreen!

Android

Add Fargo Underground to Android homescreenLaunch Chrome for Android and open Fargo Underground. Tap the menu button (see image) and tap Add to homescreen. You’ll be able to idet the name for the shortcut and then Chrome will add it to your home screen desktop.

The icon will appear on your home screen like any other app shortcut or widget, so you can drag it around and put it wherever you like. Chrome for Android loads Fargo Underground as a “web app” when you tap the icon, so it will get its own entry in the app switcher and won’t have any browser interface getting in the way.

Other popular Android browsers also offer this feature. For example, Firefox for Android can do this if you tap the menu button, tap the Page option, and tap Add to Home Screen.

 

iPhone & iPad

Add Fargo Underground to iPhone homescreenLaunch the Safari browser and navigate to Fargo Underground. Tap the Share button on the browser’s toolbar (see image) — that’s the rectangle with an arrow pointing upward. It’s on the bar at the top of the screen on an iPad, and on the bar at the bottom of the screen on an iPhone or iPod Touch. Tap the Add to Home Screen icon in the Share menu.

You’ll be prompted to name the shortcut before tapping the Add button. The shortcut can be dragged around and placed anywhere, including in app folders — just like a normal app icon. When you tap the icon, it will load the website in a normal tab inside the Safari browser app.

Other browsers, like Chrome for iOS, don’t offer this feature. Due the limitations in Apple’s iOS,only Apple’s own Safari browser is allowed to do this.
