  1. FAQ

How can I access Alby Hub from my phone?

Alby Hub is a progressive web app. Like other mobile apps you can add it to your Home Screen and use it directly on your phone.

🤖 How to Install Alby Hub on Android

  1. Open Chrome (or another supported browser)

  2. Navigate to my.albyhub.com or the URL of your Hub

  3. Wait for the Install Prompt. If it appears, tap “Add” or “Install”.

  4. Use the Browser Menu (If No Prompt)

    1. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner of Chrome.

    2. Select “Add to Home screen” or “Install app.”

    3. Confirm by tapping Add.

  5. The app icon will now be on your Home Screen or App Drawer, just like a native app. Tap to launch in standalone mode.

📱How to Install Alby Hub on iOS

  1. Open the Safari browser on your phone

  2. Navigate to my.albyhub.com or the URL of your Hub

  3. At the bottom of the Safari window, tap the Share button (a square with an arrow pointing up).

  4. In the share sheet that appears, scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.

  5. Rename the app icon if you like. Then tap Add in the top-right corner.

  6. The PWA icon will now appear on your Home Screen. Tap it to open the app in standalone mode—without the Safari browser UI.
