Adding an iPhone icon


With the popularity of mobile phones and the use of the Internet on handheld devices, it can be worthwhile considering customizing your website to better allow mobile users to access your website.

How to do it...

Save the icon graphic as apple-touch-icon.png and upload it to the root directory of your Joomla! website. So, if Joomla! is installed at example.com, upload your file to example.com/apple-touch-icon.png.

How it works...

When displaying a website, an iPhone looks for the<link> element pointing to a suitable graphic for use as an icon, or a file called apple-touch-icon.png in the root directory of your website.
