How to install the app or save the app on your home-screen

Please follow these steps to get easy access to the FIG app on your mobile phone or other devices. When using the Chrome, Firefox or Opera browser on a desktop computer (Windows, Linux, macOS), or Android mobile device with a supported browser, or iOS device with Safari on system 11.3 or later, you should see a prompt to install the web app on the first launch of the application. If not, see the instructions below to either install the app, or save it as a launch icon on your home screen if installation is not available on your system.

NOTE: The benefit of installing the app is that much of the content will be available also offline. On a mobile device you also get the app running a bit larger as the address bar will be removed. On a desktop computer and tablet device you can also easily switch between the app and browser states by using a menu command (e.g., on Chrome, you can switch between the states by using the menu commands 'Open in FIG Conference Web App' and 'Open in Chrome' commands). When running as a web app, there will be an additional system menu on the title bar of the app.

When running as a web app, you can refresh the content of the page by swiping down (on desktop, press Ctrl+R when using Chrome), and navigate back in history by using the Back arrow on the Status bar (at the bottom of the app), or the equivalent soft button on your mobile device. To return to the home page, click the FIG logo on the top left corner of the app.

Note that when installing on Android, the launch icon will be placed on your home screen only if you have allowed new installations to place launch icons on home screen. Otherwise you need to launch FIG Conference Web App from your app collection. You can choose to attach the app on your home screen by using the context menu commands from within the app launch icon.
