Setting up the mobile app for your community membership

Article Contents

Community Beta Disclaimer: The community feature is launching in a beta state. During this time, we will be prioritizing user feedback and making frequent updates that may cause some images or details in this article to differ slightly from what you see in the app. For any questions, reach out to your community owner.

Your community works great in a browser, but it's even better as an app: one tap from your home screen, full-screen experience, and push notifications so you never miss a reply.

Note: The app option is available when the community's owner has it enabled (most do). You'll need to be signed in to the community to install.

Install on iPhone or iPad

In Safari, from the community:

  1. Open the Share menu. (Press More if you don't see the Share icon.)
  2. Scroll down to Add to Home Screen.
  3. Tap Add to confirm.
  4. Find the community's icon on your Home Screen.

Install on Android or desktop

Look for the Install app prompt (or Add app to home screen in the menu) and confirm. The community installs like any app, with its own icon.

Turn on push notifications

After installing, you'll be asked whether you'd like notifications for the latest updates: select Enable. Choose "maybe later"? You can turn them on any time from your member Settings with the Push notifications toggle — it's per device, so your phone and laptop are controlled separately.

See Managing your community notifications as a member for what you'll be notified about.

Need help setting up your mobile app for your community?

Community questions or technical difficulties: contact the community owner. If necessary, the community owner can reach out to beehiiv on your behalf.
