Step-by-step: Install Share9ja Web App
Install share9ja app for faster access, instant notifications and an app-like experience:
On Android (Chrome browser)
- Open share9ja website in Chrome.
- Tap the ⋮ (three-dot) menu in the top-right corner.
- Tap Install app or Add to Home screen.
- Review the prompt and tap Install or Add.
- Find the app icon on the home screen or in the app drawer and open it like a regular app.
Tip
If you don’t see “Install app,” the site may not currently meet the browser’s install ability requirements (for example, missing a valid manifest or service worker).
iPhone / iPad (Safari)
- Open the share9ja website in Safari (not Chrome or another browser on iOS).
- Tap the Share button (square with an arrow).
- Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Edit the name if desired, then tap Add.
- The App icon appears on the home screen; launch it from there.
Important
On iOS, APP must be installed through Safari. Other browsers use WebKit under the hood but do not expose the same install flow.
Desktop Chrome (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Open the share9ja website in Chrome.
- Look for the Install icon in the address bar (often a computer or plus icon), or open ⋮ Menu → Install app.
- Click Install.
- The App opens in its own app window and is added to your apps list/start menu/dock, depending on the OS.
Tip
If the address-bar install icon is missing, check the browser menu for Install app.
Desktop Safari (macOS)
- Open the share9ja website in Safari on macOS.
- From the menu bar, choose File → Add to Dock… (wording may vary by Safari version).
- Confirm the app name and click Add.
- The app appears in the Dock and can be launched independently from Safari.
Note
This feature is available in modern Safari versions on macOS that support web apps / “Add to Dock”.
Microsoft Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Open the share9ja website in Edge.
- Click the ⋯ (Settings and more) menu.
- Choose Apps → Install this site as an app (or use the install icon in the address bar if shown).
- Confirm the app name and click Install.
- The app is added to the Start menu / Applications folder and can be pinned like a native app.
Troubleshooting checklist
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| No “Install” option in Chrome/Edge | HTTPS enabled, valid manifest.json, service worker registered, and installability criteria met. |
| “Add to Home Screen” missing on iPhone | Open the site in Safari, not Chrome; ensure the site has a valid manifest and icons. |
| App opens inside the browser instead of its own window | Verify the manifest includes a suitable display mode (commonly standalone). |
| Old icon or name persists | Remove the installed app, clear cached site data if necessary, then reinstall. |
