How to Get the Strawlo App on Your Phone (Android & iPhone)

You don't need to search the Play Store or App Store. The Strawlo app installs directly from your browser — and it works just like any app on your phone. Full screen, fast, and always one tap away on your home screen.

Here's how to get it on your phone in under 60 seconds.

💡 Why install the app?

Once installed, Strawlo opens in full screen (no browser bars), loads faster, and sits on your home screen just like Instagram or WhatsApp. You can manage your store, check orders, and respond to customers — all from one tap.

For Android Users (Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, etc.)

Android uses Chrome browser. If you use a different browser, the steps are very similar.

1. Open Chrome and go to strawlo.com

Open the Chrome browser on your phone (the round colourful icon). Type strawlo.com in the address bar and hit enter. If you're already logged in, you'll see your dashboard.

✅ Make sure you're using Chrome — not Samsung Internet or Opera Mini.

2. Tap the three dots menu ⋮

Look at the top right corner of Chrome. You'll see three vertical dots — tap on them. A dropdown menu will appear.

3. Tap "Add to Home screen"

In the dropdown menu, scroll down and look for "Add to Home screen" or "Install app". Tap it.

4. Tap "Add" to confirm

A popup will ask you to confirm. The name will say "Strawlo". Just tap "Add" and the app icon will appear on your home screen.

🎉 That's it! Strawlo is now on your Android home screen.
Tap the icon anytime to open your store dashboard — full screen, no browser bars.

Using Samsung Internet instead of Chrome?

The steps are almost the same:

  • Open strawlo.com
  • Tap the hamburger menu ☰ (bottom right)
  • Tap "Add page to"
  • Select "Home screen"

Done!

For iPhone Users

iPhone uses Safari browser. You must use Safari for this — it won't work from Chrome or other browsers.

1. Open Safari and go to strawlo.com

Open Safari (the blue compass icon). Type strawlo.com in the address bar and hit Go.

⚠️ This must be Safari. Chrome on iPhone doesn't support adding apps to the home screen.

2. Tap the Share button

Look at the bottom centre of Safari. You'll see a square icon with an arrow pointing up — that's the Share button. Tap it.

3. Tap "Add to Home Screen"

Scroll down through the options and tap "Add to Home Screen".

💡 Can't find it? Scroll further down past the app icons.

4. Tap "Add"

A screen will show the app name "Strawlo". Just tap "Add" in the top right corner.

🎉 That's it! Strawlo is now on your iPhone home screen.
Tap the icon anytime to jump straight to your dashboard — no browser, no tabs.

What You Get With the App

Once Strawlo is on your home screen, here's how it's different from using the browser:

  • 📱 Full Screen
    No browser bar or tabs — feels like a real app.

  • Faster Loading
    Pages load quicker, even on slower connections.

  • 👆 One Tap Access
    No typing URLs — just tap and go.

  • 🔒 Stays Logged In
    You won’t need to log in every time.

Troubleshooting

"I don't see Add to Home Screen"

  • iPhone: Make sure you're using Safari, not Chrome.
  • Android: Make sure you're using Chrome. Look for "Install app" if you don’t see the option.

"The icon doesn't appear on my home screen"

Check your last home screen page.

  • On Android, also check your app drawer (swipe up).
  • You can drag the icon to your preferred position.

"Can I remove it later?"

Yes — just like any app.

Long-press the Strawlo icon and select Remove or Uninstall. This won’t affect your account or data.
