# Install Haloon on Your Phone

*Published on March 9, 2026*

Haloon works directly in your browser — which means you can add it to your home screen and use it just like a native app, with no App Store or Google Play involved. It launches full screen, stays signed in, and is always up to date.

Here's how to do it on iPhone and Android.

---

## On iPhone (Safari)

::: warning Use Safari
This only works with **Safari** on iOS. If you're using Chrome or another browser on your iPhone, open Haloon in Safari first.
:::

**Step 1 — Open Haloon in Safari**

Go to [haloon.ai](https://haloon.ai/app) in Safari and sign in to your account.

**Step 2 — Tap the Share button**

At the bottom of the screen, tap the button with 3 dots at the bottom right.(

)
<br/>
Then tap the `Share` button — the square with an arrow pointing upward (

## What's the difference with the website?

Once added to your home screen, Haloon:

- **Opens full screen** — no browser address bar or navigation buttons cluttering the interface
- **Behaves like a native app** — you'll find it with your other apps, and it shows up in your app switcher
- **Stays signed in** — no need to log in every time
- **Always up to date** — unlike a downloaded app, there's nothing to update manually
