App Icon
Select the app icon that is displayed on the home screen.
Quick actions
If the app icon on the home screen is pressed and held, iOS displays a menu with quick actions that can be called up directly from the home screen. The iOS allows up to 4 quick actions in the menu, which can be defined by the user.
App Language
The language of the user interface can also be set independently of the system language. As of iOS 18, in addition to the translations provided (German, English), translations created automatically by Apple's translation service are also available. These are created on demand and the iOS loads language packs if necessary. These translations may not always be completely accurate, but may still be helpful for some users.
Default Browser
This option can be used to set up iCab Mobile as the device's default browser. This setting can only be made in the system settings, so this option opens the corresponding option in the system settings. iOS grants the default browser the following additional features:
- Default App for http- and https requests
- Whenever any app asks the iOS to open a website, it is opened in the default browser
- Save web pages on homepage
- The standard browser can store web pages (web apps) on the homescreen via the sharesheet, which can then be started from there like normal apps
- Cross-Sitetracking
- You can allow/disallow cross-site tracking for the standard browser. A few websites (such as some Microsoft business sites) do not work with the usual stricter iOS rules and can still be made to work in this way
- Service Workers
- Some JavaScript features, such as Service Workers, are only available for the default browser.
Widgets
iCab Mobile offers a range of widgets for the home screen to open bookmarks and websites or activate certain App features. You can specify what widgets have access to.
There is a widget that can display a website directly on the home screen. Websites can be saved for this widget via the action menu; these sites are listed in the widget settings and can also be removed from here. In the widget itself, you can select the page to be displayed by switching the widget to edit mode (long press on the widget) and then selecting the page.
Spotlight
If desired, all bookmarks can also be indexed for Siri and the Spotlight search. This means that they can also be found outside the app via Siri/Spotlight search.
