Installing on iPhone and Android

How to add Pleno to your home screen so the mobile app shell and push can work.

What it is

Pleno installs from the browser — there is no separate App Store binary required for the current PWA.

iPhone (Safari)

  1. Sign in at pleno.ca in Safari (not an in-app browser).
  2. Use Share → Add to Home Screen.
  3. Open Pleno from the new icon so it runs standalone.

iOS push notifications require the installed home-screen app, not a Safari tab.

Android (Chrome and similar)

  1. Sign in at pleno.ca.
  2. Use the browser’s Install app / Add to Home screen prompt (Pleno may show its own install overlay).
  3. Open from the icon for the mobile shell.

Who can do it

Any signed-in user. Council members are the ones who benefit most from push for approval votes.

Limits and things to know

  • If you only use a regular browser tab, you get the responsive site, not the full /m shell.
  • The first time a council member opens the mobile app, Pleno may send them a one-time email with install guidance. Residents do not get it.
