# Add a shortcut to your LINE MINI App to the home screen of the user's device
This feature is only available for verified MINI Apps. For unverified MINI Apps, you can test the feature on the internal channel for Developing, but you can't use the feature on the internal channel for Published.
The user can add a shortcut to your LINE MINI App to the home screen of the user's device.
Tapping Add to Home Screen in the action button or using the liff.createShortcutOnHomeScreen()
method will display the Add Shortcut screen. The user can add a shortcut to your LINE MINI App to the home screen of the user's device by following the instructions on the screen. This allows the user to access your LINE MINI App directly from the home screen of the user's device.
