e-lactancia on your smartphone’s home screen

Many of you have asked for an e-lactancia app for your smartphone. We are delighted to tell you that we are working on it.

In the meantime, as an appetizer, this post will explain how to put an icon on your smartphone screen with direct access to e-lactancia as shown in this image

Icons to access e-lactancia

This can be achieved via different web browsers available for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone. The following simple steps explain how to do it:

With Google Chrome:

1. Enter the e-lactancia.org address into the browser’s address bar

2. Press the icon with three dots situated in the upper right corner

3. Select the option "Add to home screen" 

4. Enter a title (the text which will appear below the icon) and press “add”.

With Mozilla Firefox:

1. Enter the e-lactancia.org address into the browser’s address bar

2. Press the button with three verticle dots at the top right

3. Select the option “Pages”

4. In the new menu, select the option “Add to home screen”

5. Firefox will automatically add an icon to your screen.

                                                                  

With Opera Mini:

1. Enter the e-lactancia.org address into the browser’s address bar

2. Press the little star on the right of the address bar 3. In the drop down menu, select the option "Add to home screen"

Notes:

The icon which is created won’t have the beautiful e-lactancia logo :-(

The option to create direct access only works with Opera MINI. The Opera browser (the normal one, not the mini version) does not support this option at the moment.

With Safari:

1. Enter the e-lactancia.org address into the browser’s address bar

2. Press the Share button in the upper right (a little box with an arrow pointing upwards).

3. Choose the option "add direct access to home screen”

4. Enter a title (the text which will appear below the icon) and press “add”.

Note: Safari, the default browser for iPad and iPhone will create an icon featuring a “photo” of the website, instead of using our beautiful logo :-(

We hope that this brief guide will be useful and will allow you to access information in e-lactancia more easily from your mobile phones.
