# Add Cassidy to your phone's home screen

> Add Cassidy to your iPhone or Android home screen so Chat opens like an app. Chat with Agents, continue conversations, and run Workflows from your phone.

You can chat with your [Agents](/agents/overview) from your phone. Add Cassidy to your home screen so it opens like an app — with its own icon, and without the browser address bar.

On your phone, Cassidy Chat is the full experience: start and continue conversations, switch Agents, attach files, use voice, and run [Workflows](/workflows/overview). Use a desktop browser to build Agents, edit Workflows, and manage your [Knowledge Base](/knowledge-base/overview).

## Add to your home screen

Sign in at [app.cassidy.ai](https://app.cassidy.ai) on your phone first, then follow the steps for your device.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="iPhone">
    Use **Safari**. Other iPhone browsers may not add Cassidy as an app.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open Cassidy in Safari">
        Open **Safari** and go to [app.cassidy.ai](https://app.cassidy.ai). Sign in if you aren't already.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Open the share sheet">
        Tap the **Share** button — a square with an arrow pointing up.

        If you don't see **Share**, tap the **•••** button in the Safari toolbar first, then tap **Share**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Choose Add to Home Screen">
        Scroll down on the share sheet and tap **Add to Home Screen**.

        If you don't see that option, scroll to the bottom, tap **Edit Actions**, and add **Add to Home Screen**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Add Cassidy">
        Confirm the name **Cassidy**. If you see **Open as Web App**, leave it turned on so Cassidy opens like an app instead of a Safari tab.

        Tap **Add**. The Cassidy icon appears on your home screen.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Open Cassidy from your home screen">
        Tap the Cassidy icon. Chat opens without the Safari address bar.

        <Check>Cassidy is on your home screen and opens like an app.</Check>
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    <Tip>
      These steps also work on iPad. Add Cassidy from Safari, then tap the icon
      on your Home Screen or in the Dock.
    </Tip>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Android">
    Use **Chrome**. After you tap **Add to Home screen**, Chrome may ask whether
    to **Install** Cassidy or **Create shortcut**. Choose **Install**.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open Cassidy in Chrome">
        Open **Chrome** and go to [app.cassidy.ai](https://app.cassidy.ai). Sign in if you aren't already.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Open the Chrome menu">
        Tap the **three-dot** menu in the top-right corner of Chrome.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Tap Add to Home screen">
        Tap **Add to Home screen**. Some phones show **Install app** in this
        menu instead — tap that, then skip the next step.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Choose Install">
        If Chrome asks how to add Cassidy, tap **Install**. Don't choose
        **Create shortcut** — shortcuts open in Chrome with the address bar.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Confirm">
        Review the Cassidy name and icon, then tap **Install**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Open Cassidy from your home screen">
        Tap the Cassidy icon on your home screen or in your app drawer. Chat opens without the Chrome address bar.

        <Check>Cassidy is installed and opens like an app.</Check>
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    <Tip>
      Firefox and Samsung Internet can also add Cassidy to your home screen from
      their menus. Look for **Install** or **Add page to Home screen**.
    </Tip>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Use Cassidy on your phone

After you add Cassidy, tap the icon anytime to open Chat. If you're asked to sign in, use the same account you use on desktop.

You can:

* Start a new chat with the **+** button
* Open past chats from the **menu** in the top-left corner
* Switch [Agents](/agents/overview)
* Send messages, attach files, and use voice
* Run a [Workflow](/workflows/overview) from Chat
* Add items from your [Knowledge Base](/knowledge-base/overview) to a message
* Share a chat from the header

For a full walkthrough of Chat, see [Chat with an Agent](/guides/chatting-with-an-agent).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I don't see Add to Home Screen on iPhone">
    Make sure you're in **Safari**, not Chrome or an in-app browser (for
    example, a link opened from Slack or Gmail). Open [app.cassidy.ai](https://app.cassidy.ai)
    in Safari itself.

    Also avoid **Private Browsing**. Close the private tab, open a regular Safari
    tab, and try again.

    If the action still doesn't appear, open the share sheet, scroll to the
    bottom, tap **Edit Actions**, and add **Add to Home Screen**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Cassidy opens in the browser instead of like an app">
    On iPhone, delete the home screen icon, add Cassidy again, and leave **Open
    as Web App** turned on.

    On Android, choose **Install** instead of **Create shortcut** if Chrome
    asks.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I'm asked to sign in every time">
    Sign in at [app.cassidy.ai](https://app.cassidy.ai) in a regular browser tab
    first, then add Cassidy to your home screen again. Private or incognito
    tabs won't keep you signed in.
