I have added vs I added

Both phrases 'I have added' and 'I added' are correct, but their meanings are slightly different. 'I have added' is used when you want to emphasize that the action of adding has been completed recently or is still relevant to the present moment. 'I added' is used when you want to simply state that the action of adding occurred in the past.
