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)
- Sign in at pleno.ca in Safari (not an in-app browser).
- Use Share → Add to Home Screen.
- 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)
- Sign in at pleno.ca.
- Use the browser’s Install app / Add to Home screen prompt (Pleno may show its own install overlay).
- 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
/mshell. - 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.
