If you only ever open this as a browser tab on an iPhone, iOS can clear your sign-in after about a week of not visiting. You would just need to tap your player link again, and nothing is lost, but it is one less thing to think about. Adding it to your home screen stops that. Fifteen seconds.
iPhone / iPad
- Open the site link in Safari. It has to be Safari, because Chrome on iOS cannot install it. And if you tapped the link in WhatsApp, you are in its built-in browser: tap the share button or the three dots and choose Open in Safari first.
- Tap the Share button, the square with an arrow coming out of the top.
- Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Tap Add. The icon appears with your other apps.
- Open it from that icon from now on, and sign in from inside it. The installed app keeps hold of your sign-in far better than a browser tab does.
Android
- Open the site link in Chrome. If you tapped it in WhatsApp, tap the three dots and choose Open in Chrome first, because the built-in browser cannot install apps.
- Either tap the Add to home screen button in the site’s own toolbar, or use the three dots in Chrome → Add to Home screen / Install app.
- Confirm. The icon appears in your app drawer.
Windows / Mac computer
- Open the link in Chrome or Edge.
- Click the install icon in the address bar, a small screen with a downward arrow at the right-hand end. Or use the three dots → Cast, save and share → Install page as app.
- It opens in its own window and pins to your taskbar or dock.
On Safari for Mac: File → Add to Dock. A plain bookmark works fine on a computer too, since the week-long expiry is an iPhone problem.
