How to add an icon
You can pin an icon for Queensland Globe to your smartphone home/tablet screen for quick access. So rather than having to open a browser and enter the web address, you can simply click on the Queensland Globe icon on your home screen to open it.
Android
Launch Chrome and type in https://qldglobe.information.qld.gov.au
Tap the menu icon.
Tap Add to Home Screen you will be able to enter a name for the shortcut.
Then Chrome will add the shortcut to your home screen. Other popular Android browsers like Firefox for Android also offer this feature.
iPhone & iPad
Launch the Safari browser on Apple's iOS and navigate to the website or web page you want to add to your home screen.
Tap the Share button on the browser's toolbar - that's the rectangle with an arrow pointing upward. It is located 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.
(To create app folders on iOS, touch-and-drag an app's icon onto another app's icon and hold it there for a moment).
When you tap the icon, it will load the website in a normal tab inside the Safari browser app.
