iPhone PWA

The PWA is the no-build fallback for iPhone users. It is served by your Family Guardian server at /app.

Install

  1. On the iPhone, open Safari.
  2. Go to http://YOUR-SERVER:8080/app.
  3. Sign in or join with an invite.
  4. Tap Share -> Add to Home Screen.
  5. Open Family Guardian from the Home Screen.

What works

iOS limitation: Safari and Home Screen PWAs do not provide Android-style reliable background GPS. Keep the PWA open for location sharing. Use the native sideloaded app for background GPS.
