Add Icon to iOS Home Screen

To add an Initial State icon to your home screen on your iOS device:

  1. Navigate to a public share URL for the desired Tiles dashboard (info on how to generate a public share URL).
  2. Click on the "Send To" button on the bottom toolbar of Safari.
  3. Click "Add to Home Screen".
  4. Click "Add" on the Add to Home pop-up screen.

An Initial State icon will be placed on your home screen like any other app.

One of the best benefits of adding an icon to your iOS home screen is getting a full screen view of your data. The top and bottom menu bars are removed in this mode:

 *Note: You can add an iOS icon for a public share URL and not require a login each time you view your data. Alternatively, you can add an iOS icon for the base app (https://iot.app.initialstate.com) and access all of your data buckets through your mobile optimized bucket shelf after logging in.
