Ulmiversity as a Web App for iPhone and iPad
To have the Ulmiversity website readily available on your mobile devices, we recommend saving it as a web app. This guide shows you how to do this on your iPhone or iPad.
❓ What Are Web Apps?
Web apps are websites that behave like native apps on your iPhone or iPad. They are installed directly from the Safari browser and appear as standalone apps on your home screen.
Advantages of Web Apps:
- Quick access directly from the home screen
- No App Store installation required
- Automatic updates without manual installation
The Ulmiversity as a web app offers the same functionality as the regular website, but with the convenience of an app-like experience.
🛠️ Setting Up the Web App
Installing the Ulmiversity as a web app is simple and takes only a few steps. Make sure you are using Safari, as other browsers do not support this feature.
Step 1: Open the Ulmiversity
Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad and navigate to the Ulmiversity homepage. You should see the main page of the website.
Step 2: Open the Page Menu
Tap the page menu — the round icon with three dots. Depending on your device, this step might not be necessary, as the share icon may already be visible.
Step 3: Select “Share”
In the page menu, you’ll find various options. Tap “Share” to see more actions.
Step 4: Select “More”
Tap “More” to view all available actions.
Step 5: Select “Add to Home Screen”
In the list of available actions, find “Add to Home Screen.” Tap it to install the web app.
Step 6: Confirm Installation
You’ll now see a preview of the web app named “Ulmiversity” along with its icon. Tap “Add” in the top-right corner to complete the installation. Make sure that the setting “Open as Web App” is enabled.
Done! 🎉
The Ulmiversity is now installed as a web app on your home screen! You’ll find it among your other apps. Simply tap it to open the Ulmiversity — it behaves like a regular app but loads the website inside.
