With the release of Angular 2 we now have a straightforward path toward porting Cyph to native apps, and
are hard at work on doing so. (Sign up here to get on our accounts waitlist and be notified when apps are released.) If you can’t wait until then, here’s how to add Cyph to your home screen, which will allow you to launch it like a regular app.
Android
Chrome
- Launch Chrome for Android
- Navigate to cyph.im
- Open the Chrome menu, and select ‘Add to Home Screen’
- Optionally alter the name of the shortcut before saving
Now all you have to do to start a new Cyph is click the shortcut you just added.
iOS
Safari
- Launch Safari
- Navigate to cyph.im
- Click the action icon, and select ‘Add to Home Screen’
- Optionally alter the name of the shortcut before saving
Tip: If you want to go straight into a video call (iOS/Safari is unsupported), you can follow the same steps, but with cyph.video instead
