I have a web app that allows the user to add the web page to his home screen on the iphone.

That functionality exists with Safari.

Now they released the chrome browser for the iphone too. My question is how can I instruct the user to add the web page to his ios home screen. The chrome browser doesnt seem to have that functionality..? Can I add a shortcut from chrome options so that it would appear on the iphone home page?
