Jotform Apps: Does an app icon get created on the user's phone when they access my app?

    Another question: when I send a link or QR code or whatever to someone to install my app. Does it create an icon on their phone etc? Or does it open a browser window like Safari and they would have to manually "add to home screen" to make it look like an app or does the Jotform created app provide an easy way to do so? Thanks again

    Hi Hayaataddiin,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. When users access your app via the link or the QR code, it will open in their browser first. Then, a pop-up will guide them on how to add the app to their home screen. Check out the example in the screenshot below:

    You can also change the app name or icon. It's easy. Let me show you how:

    1. In App Builder, click on Settings at the top.
    2. Click on App Name & Icon on the left.
    3. Enter the App Name.
    4. Click on Edit Icon.
    5. Change the Image or Icon on the right.Jotform Apps: Does an app icon get created on the users phone when they access my app? Image 2 Screenshot 41
