Installing the studio on your phone
The studio sits on your home screen like an app, full screen, with notifications. The steps on Android, on iPhone, and why it's essential for being notified.
In this article
The studio works in your phone's browser, but it's better installed: it opens full screen from the home screen, like an app, and can notify you — an appointment request, a message, a review.
On Android and on computer
The studio offers it to you itself, once, at the bottom of the screen: an Install button is all it takes. If you dismissed it, the browser keeps a small install icon in the address bar; on Chrome, it's also in the ⋮ menu › "Install app".
On iPhone and iPad
Apple offers no prompt: it's done by hand, from Safari.
- Open studio.buiiild.com in Safari.
- Tap the Share button (the square with an upward arrow).
- Choose Add to Home Screen, then Add.
What the app changes
Nothing in your data: it's the same studio, the same session. You can install it on several devices. To be notified, accept notifications when the studio asks you to.
Frequently asked questions
Why am I not getting any notifications on my iPhone?
Since iOS 16.4, Apple requires the site to be added to the home screen before allowing its notifications. Install it from Safari (Share › Add to Home Screen) to receive them.
Can I install the studio on several devices?
Yes, it's the same session everywhere: install it on your phone, your tablet and your computer.
Does installing it change my data?
No, it's the same studio and the same session: only the access changes, nothing is duplicated.
