You can install KollabiuM as an app right from your browser: on Android, tap "Install"; on iPhone, use "Share" → "Add to Home Screen". It then opens full screen, just like a regular app, and sends you push notifications about messages, replies to your comments, calls and live invitations even when the site is closed.
Android (Chrome)
When you open KollabiuM in your browser, you'll see a prompt: "Install KollabiuM". Tap "Install" and the icon will appear on your home screen.
If the prompt didn't show up or you tapped "Later", open the browser menu (three dots) → "Install app" or "Add to Home screen".
iPhone and iPad (Safari)
- Open kollabium.com in Safari.
- Tap "Share" at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose "Add to Home Screen".
- Tap "Add".
Important: on iPhone, push notifications only work in the installed app. Launch KollabiuM from the icon on your home screen and allow notifications.
How to turn on push notifications?
After you install it, KollabiuM will ask: "Enable notifications?" Tap "Yes", then allow notifications in the browser window.
If you said no, you can turn them on later: "Settings" → "Notifications" → "Push on this device". This setting only applies to the device you're using. Push is turned on separately on each phone and computer.
Why push notifications aren't coming through
- In "Notifications", next to "Browser", it says "blocked" when notifications are blocked in your browser. Tap the icon to the left of the site address and allow notifications. On iPhone: "Settings" → "Notifications" → KollabiuM.
- Check that the group you want is switched on in the "Push" column of your notification settings.
- Check your quiet hours and your phone's "Do Not Disturb" mode.
- On iPhone, make sure you open KollabiuM from the icon on your home screen, not from Safari.
