Marafa Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 I was replying to my previous post here from mobile Then I got an alert: do you want to download invision community? I accepted and got a mobile app ( or I think it is an app) I am using it now to reply SeNioR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 That is a Progressive Web App (PWA), not a native mobile application. The native mobile application was discontinued in favor of PWA. SeNioR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marafa Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Can I add this PWA to my forum ? and how to show a similar alert to mobile users to download this PWA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you would simply setup your web manifest by going to ACP -> Customization -> Icons & Logos -> Configure manifest details. Once you have configured that it is recommended to apply the icons above so that users have those available to them on their phones. 10 minutes ago, Marafa said: and how to show a similar alert to mobile users to download this PWA? The alert is from the browser, not our software. This meaning some browsers/devices will alert you that it is possible to download (i.e. Google Chrome on latest Android) whereas others will not.

Jim M Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Did you already setup the PWA on your device? I am seeing that it is available on your community in my browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marafa Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hi Not sure how to do that But long time back I used the shortcut "Add to home screen" but not similar to what happened when I was browsing the invision community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
