Setting a Title for Apple Touch Icon for Bookmark on Homescreen

Is there possibility to define the title of an touch icon on the homescreen of an iOS device?

As you can see below the title of the touch icon has been derived from the URL of my site.

This is fine for the now but I woule like to have custom title an not a derived one.

Solution

  • Per the Apple docs on touch icons:

    On iOS, you can specify a web application title for the launch icon. By default, the tag is used. To set a different title, add a meta tag to the webpage, as in:

    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-title" content="AppTitle">
