Phone setup

iPhone and iPad (Safari)

You need iOS 16.4 or newer. Apple only delivers web push to apps on the Home Screen.

1. 1
   Open Tinyping in Safari and sign in.
2. 2
   Tap Share, the square with an arrow.
3. 3
   Tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
4. 4
   Open Tinyping from the Home Screen icon, not from Safari.
5. 5
   Turn on alerts when the app asks, then choose Allow.

Gotcha: if you open Tinyping in Safari after installing, alerts stay off. Always use the Home Screen icon.

Android Chrome

1. 1
   Open Tinyping in Chrome and sign in.
2. 2
   Open the menu and choose Install app.
3. 3
   Open the installed app.
4. 4
   Allow notifications when Chrome asks.

Gotcha: if you pressed Block by mistake, open Site settings for Tinyping and set Notifications to Allow.

Samsung Internet

1. 1
   Open Tinyping in Samsung Internet and sign in.
2. 2
   Open the menu, then Settings, then Sites and downloads, then Site settings.
3. 3
   Open Notifications and allow Tinyping.
4. 4
   Open Tinyping and turn on alerts.

Brave

1. 1
   Open Brave Settings, then Privacy.
2. 2
   Turn on Use Google services for push messaging.
3. 3
   Restart Brave.
4. 4
   Open Tinyping and turn on alerts.

Do this on Android and on desktop. Brave blocks push messages when this setting is off.

Firefox on Android

1. 1
   Open Tinyping in Firefox and sign in.
2. 2
   Turn on alerts and choose Allow.

Gotcha: Android battery saving can delay alerts when Firefox is in the background. Remove Firefox from battery limits to get alerts faster.

Desktop browsers

This covers Chrome, Edge and Firefox on any computer, and Safari on macOS 13 or newer.

1. 1
   Open Tinyping and sign in.
2. 2
   Turn on alerts and choose Allow.
3. 3
   On a Mac, check that Focus or Do Not Disturb is off.

Gotcha: for Safari on a Mac, you can also choose File, then Add to Dock.
