I wanted to add my friends and family as icons on my iPhone’s home screen, but I discovered there isn’t a built-in way to do this on iOS.
Solution:
I built CallMeIcons.com to make this possible. When you want to call your favorite people, just tap on their very own icon from your home screen. No fumbling through your phone or asking Siri (we all know she can’t always understand our mumbling).
Features:
- Simple web-based tool
- No app to install on your phone
- Create a picture icon (the funnier the picture, the better)
- Or pick one of our icons
- No cellphone data usage
- No data is stored/kept
- Completely FREE
This is my first PH product. I hope you like it and find it useful!

I've actually added my kiddos pictures as icons just because it brings a smile to my face when I look at my phone a million times a day! Thanks for the comment. @abadesi

Very nice! I could also see it being used for work purposes. I’m an IT professional and have to dial a few phone numbers a lot...why not add a shortcut? Makes sense to me!
Perfect use case @alexsmacd1! Thanks for the feedback.

I really like this idea. Trying to make it easier for my 83 year old uncle to make calls on his iPhone. I'm concerned when I go to the page though, I get warnings saying the page is not private/may be impersonating the website to steal info. Is this page just not supported anymore?

I tried the app w/ my mum of 80 years old and the problem is the second screen to confirm the call. She expected when she tap the photo on the home screen of the iPhone get the call without the need to tape again in a button. Is this possible?

This is great and I’ve set up an old iPad so an older relative can FaceTime us all. Is there any way of using an email address rather than a mobile number for a FaceTime contact?
