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.


Choose Your Phone


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 the Samsung Internet browser or Opera Mini. Chrome gives the best experience.

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.

← → strawlo.com

↑ Tap this button

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 on iPhone.

1

Open Safari and go to strawlo.com

Open Safari (the blue compass icon — it comes pre-installed on every iPhone). 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. Use Safari — it's the one that came with your phone.

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.

Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"

A share sheet will slide up from the bottom. Scroll down through the options. You'll see "Add to Home Screen" with a + icon. Tap it.

Can't find it? Scroll further down in the share sheet. On newer iPhones, you might need to scroll past the app icons at the top to find it in the actions list below.

4

Tap "Add" in the top right

A screen will show the app name — "Strawlo". You don't need to change anything. Just tap "Add" in the top right corner. The Strawlo icon will appear on your home screen.

🎉

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 at the top, no tabs at the bottom. It looks and feels like a native app.

Faster Loading

The app caches resources so pages load quicker — especially on slower connections.

👆

One Tap Access

No typing URLs. Just tap the Strawlo icon and you're in your dashboard instantly.

🔒

Stays Logged In

You won't need to log in every time. The app remembers your session.


Troubleshooting

"I don't see Add to Home Screen"

On iPhone: Make sure you're using Safari, not Chrome or another browser. Only Safari supports this on iOS.
On Android: Make sure you're using Chrome. Some browsers like Opera Mini hide this option. Also try looking for "Install app" instead — newer Chrome versions use that wording.

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

Check your last home screen page — the icon might have been added there. On Android, also check your app drawer (swipe up from the home screen). You can then drag it to your preferred home screen position.

"Can I remove it later?"

Yes — just like any app. Long-press the Strawlo icon and select Remove or Uninstall. It doesn't affect your account or data. You can always add it back.
