      How to add IrisCX to the home screen of your device so it acts like an app

      Access to IrisCX is only possible through your dedicated workspace URLā€”thereā€™s no generic login page. To ensure you can easily return to your workspace anytime, the best approach is to add the URL to your deviceā€™s home screen or desktop. This creates an app-like shortcut, making it fast and convenient to launch IrisCX wherever you are, just like opening a native app.

      Here's how to Add IrisCX to various devices:

      Mobile (Phone/Tablet)

      Desktop

      Mobile - Android (Chrome)

      1. Launch the Chrome browser on your mobile device
      2. Enter your workspace URL (e.g. https://yourcompany.iriscx.com)
      3. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen to open the menu
      4. Select Add to Home Screen
      5. Youā€™ll be prompted to name the shortcut before adding it
      6. Tap "Add" to add the shortcut to your home screen

      Mobile - iOS (Safari)


      You can add IrisCX to your iPhone or iPad home screen for fast, one-tap accessā€”just like a native app.

      āœ… Steps:
      1. Open Safari and navigate to the IrisCX site.
      2. Tap the Share icon:
      3. On iPhone: Located at the bottom center of the screen.
      4. On iPad: Found in the top-right toolbar.
      5. In the share menu, scroll down and select Add to Home Screen.
      6. Optionally, rename the icon (e.g., "IrisCX"), then tap Add.
      7. The IrisCX icon will now appear on your home screen. Tapping it launches IrisCX in a standalone app-like window.

      Mobile - iOS (Chrome)

      Note: Due to Appleā€™s restrictions on third-party browsers, Chrome on iOS does not support full "Add to Home Screen" functionality. For the best experience, we recommend using Safari on iOS, which supports Progressive Web App (PWA) installation and opens IrisCX in a standalone, app-like view.

       

      Desktop - Mac (Chrome)

      1. Open Chrome and go to your IrisCX workspace URL (e.g. https://yourworkspace.iriscx.com)

      2. Click the three-dot menu (ā‹®) in the top-right corner of the browser

      3. Hover over ā€œCast, Save, and Shareā€

      4. Click on ā€œInstall Page as Appā€¦ā€

      5. When prompted, click Install

      šŸ’” Chrome will now create an app-like version of IrisCX that opens in a clean, browser-free window.
