I know I can use Chrome on a desktop or Android device to “Add to Home screen”. I know I can use “Add to homes screen” in Safari iOS.
But, can I use “Add to home screen” feature in Chrome for iOS?

Launch “Chrome” app. Open the website or web page you want to pin to your home screen. Tap the menu icon (3 dots in upper right-hand corner) and tap Add to homescreen. You'll be able to enter a name for the shortcut and then Chrome will add it to your home screen.
FAQ. Is there a way to add a home button to Google Chrome on Android or iOS? Not at the moment. However, you can make an icon that opens Chrome directly to a specific web site.
Go to--> Settings--> Appearance--> enable show home button.
But, can I use “Add to home screen” feature in Chrome for iOS? No. There is no such option in Chrome for iOS. I'm using iOS 12 on iPhone X with latest Chrome and I don't see such option. Safari for iOS have "Add to home screen" for a long time now. Its just the "Service worker" support that came recently in 11.3 version .
You can add a website to an iPhone or iPad Home Screen with Safari(not Chrome but maybe it's helpful): 1 Launch Safari 2 Navigate to the desired website 3 Tap the "share" button 4 Select "Add to Home Screen" icon More ...
Perhaps you have even set Chrome as the default browser on your iPhone or iPad. In that case, you might be interested in learning how you can add Chrome bookmarks to your iPhone or iPad home screen. Unlike Safari that comes pre-installed on iOS and iPadOS devices, third-party web browsers like Chrome and Firefox have multiple limitations.
Type “googlechromes://” followed by the website URL of your Chrome bookmark. For example, if you want to add a shortcut to open OSXDaily in Chrome, you’ll need to type “googlechromes://www.osxdaily.com”. Once you’re done, tap on the triple-dot icon to continue. Give a name for your shortcut and tap on “Add to Home Screen”.

Notably, Chrome for iOS is just an wrapping layer on top of Safari's WebKit and what it can perform at OS level is heavily restricted in that sense. Depending on when and how Apple opens its API for 3rd party WebKit based browser implementer for iOS, we can hope to see this sometime in future.
But still not an option for now(as of May-2021)
