Getting started
Install the web app
Add Glob Social to your phone from Chrome, another supporting browser, or Safari.
Installing the Glob Social website gives you an app icon that opens the site in its own view. Start at Glob Social in your phone's browser while you have an internet connection.
Chrome and other supporting browsers
When your browser offers website installation, Glob Social can show Install Glob Social on this device?
- Choose Install.
- Complete the browser's own installation dialog.
- Open Glob Social from the new app icon.
Choose Not now to dismiss Glob Social's offer. You can continue using the website in the browser.
The offer is shown once in that browser's saved site state. It is recorded as soon as it appears, even if you leave the page without choosing an answer. Reloading the page does not make it ask again. A different browser or browser profile has its own state.
If you dismissed the offer, use the browser's own install control. Depending on the browser and screen, this may appear in the browser menu or beside the address. Glob Social's offer is a convenience; you do not need to see it again to use the browser's installation option.
iPhone and iPad
Open Glob Social in Safari, open Share, then choose Add to Home Screen and complete Safari's confirmation.
Safari supplies this installation flow. Glob Social does not show its own Install and Not now offer there. The absence of that offer is expected.
Open the installed app
Launch it from its icon. Glob Social requests an app view of the website rather than a normal browser tab. You can use portrait or landscape; the web app does not lock orientation.
Sign in with your Colli account when asked. Installing adds a way to open the same site. It does not grant access to another person's work or remove account requirements.
When installation is not offered
Glob Social shows its offer only when the browser reports that installation is available. It also suppresses the offer when:
- You have already been shown it in this browser's saved site state.
- You opened the installed app rather than a browser tab.
- The browser cannot save or read the state used to remember the offer.
The site remains usable in a browser when its installation offer is absent. Check the browser's own install option. If that option is absent too, continue in the browser rather than waiting for a Glob Social prompt.
Installing does not guarantee offline startup or device alerts. See Offline reading and troubleshooting.
