Start from your Home Screen — the same one you already have.
iPhone Setup
No App Store. No download. Just a real TelBuddy icon that opens full-screen, exactly like any other app on your phone — in about a minute.
Start from your Home Screen — the same one you already have.
This only works in Safari — not Chrome or another browser. It has to be Safari.
Type telbuddy.com into the address bar and hit Go.
That takes you into the actual TelBuddy app (the login screen) — this is the page you want your Home Screen icon to point to.
Down in Safari's bottom toolbar, tap the three dots.
The Share icon opens the standard iOS share sheet.
If "Add to Home Screen" isn't in the first row, tap More to find it.
This is the option that actually creates the icon.
Confirm with the blue Add button in the top-right corner.
Done
TelBuddy now sits right on your Home Screen with its own icon.
Tap it — TelBuddy opens full-screen. No address bar, no browser tabs, no Safari in sight.
No. TelBuddy isn't an App Store app — this creates a real Home Screen icon that opens TelBuddy full-screen, using the same account you already log into on the web.
Not yet — this Home Screen icon gives you one-tap, full-screen access, but it doesn't add push notifications or offline access. If that changes, this page will be the first to say so.
Android has its own version of this — Chrome's menu has an "Add to Home screen" option too — but the exact steps differ from Safari's, so this specific walkthrough is written for iPhone.
Yes — "Add to Home Screen" is per-device, not per-account. Repeat these steps on each iPhone or iPad you want a TelBuddy icon on.
