Monzo Community "App"

Neat little thing I found, or more accurately, Google pointed out to me! :point_right: On Android a popup appeared in the middle of my screen suggesting that I add Monzo to my home screen, I assumed it was some kind of progressive web app for a moment :wink:

Basically I get a lovely 2nd Monzo logo on my phone which links to the Community Forum! :slight_smile:

It’s got its own splash screen and besides that… It’s just a web tab in its own window :smile:

It’s really simple to add this to your own device (Android) I’ve no idea if the same is true of iOS, though, I’m sure I’ll find out soon enough! :wink:

Where you see “Open Monzo Community” it’ll instead say “Add to Home Screen”:

This results in a nice app appearing in your app draw & home screen:

Not too shabby, eh? :grin:

The option on iOS doesn’t seem quite as fancy, there’s no splash screen, and it only opens the community in a new tab on Safari :disappointed:

But if you go into the Safari share menu and add it to your home screen you then do get the option of getting

You can do this with most sites on Andriod tbh. It’s like a bookmark with an icon.

Indeed! :smiley:

But isn’t it more fun because it’s Monzo? :wink:

Have fun :smile:

I should have mentioned because I been using for sometime and thought people might know already because chrome prompts every now and then when you visit a site regularly.

I wish that saving a site like this would enable alerts, so it was more like an actual app. Discourse is great on mobile, but I miss the alerts.

There’s a mobile app for that, yes it’s rubbish - it just displays the site in an embedded browser - but that’s not the point, it’s just for sending mobile notifications which it does very well :slight_smile:
