Yes. "Add to homescreen" is in the "Share" menu.

That's where they burry all bodies.

Isn't that where it's been for ages?
It’s been there since literally iPhoneOS 1.0. They are calling it “share” now, but really it’s always meant “put / send this somewhere”. The difference with recent versions of iOS is that the share button is no longer always visible but you need to press the ellipses button to reveal it. It’s there along with all the other dastardly actions Apple doesn’t want you to know about, such as “Add to Favourites”.
A friend was telling me yesterday that this is how you can set custom ringtones on iOS. He seemed really excited about it, how cute.

Because I literally could not believe the archaic process previously used until very recently to set a ringtone on iOS. And now it's under the share menu?! Why do Apple people put up with this shit?

I've been able to set a custom ringtone in Android from the OS settings/any file browser app for at least 15 years and I would not be surprised if Android launched with it.

>Apple still sells 30-second song ringtones for $1.29 each through the iTunes Store app.

Oh...alright well now we know why.
