# Installation on Android (PWA)

This guide explains how to install our Web App (PWA) directly onto your Android home screen. This allows you to use the site just like a native app: full screen, without the address bar, and accessible with a single tap.

### 1. Via Google Chrome (Recommended)

This is the most common method, as Chrome is the default browser on most Android devices.

Step 1: Go to the website Open Google Chrome and navigate to the web application's URL.

Step 2: Open the menu Tap the menu icon (three vertical dots ⋮) usually located at the top right of the screen.

Step 3: Install the app In the list that appears, look for and tap the option:

* "Install app" (if the site is detected as a full PWA).
* Or "Add to Home screen".

Step 4: Confirm A confirmation window will appear. Tap Install or Add. The icon will now appear on your home screen alongside your other apps.

### 2. Via Samsung Internet

If you use a Samsung device, you might be using the default "Samsung Internet" browser.

Step 1: Go to the website Open the Samsung Internet browser and go to the site.

Step 2: Open the menu Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines ☰) located at the bottom right of the screen.

Step 3: Add the page Tap the "Add page to" button.

Step 4: Select Home screen Choose the "Home screen" option. Click Add to confirm.

### 3. Via Mozilla Firefox

Step 1: Go to the website Open Firefox on your Android and load the page.

Step 2: Open the menu Tap the three vertical dots (⋮) next to the address bar (often at the bottom or top depending on your settings).

Step 3: Install Tap "Install" in the menu. If this option doesn't appear, the site might not be fully recognized as a PWA by Firefox; in that case, look for "Add to Home screen".

### ❓ Troubleshooting

#### I don't see the "Install app" button

* Is the site fully loaded? Wait for the loading bar to finish.
* Are you in Incognito/Private mode? PWA installation is often disabled in Incognito mode.
* Do you already have the app? Check if the icon is already present in your app drawer.

#### The icon is not showing up

Sometimes the icon is placed on the *second* or *third* home screen page if the first one is full. Check the other pages of your home screen.
