​
Troubleshooting

Make sure you’re using Safari, not Chrome or other browsers. Only Safari supports PWA installation on iOS devices.
Try scrolling the page or refreshing. The share button should appear at the bottom of the Safari browser.
Ensure you have sufficient storage space on your device and try again. You may also need to close and reopen Safari.
Check your browser settings to ensure PWA installation is enabled. You can also manually install via the browser menu (three dots).
Clear your browser cache and try again. Go to Settings > Apps > Chrome > Storage > Clear Cache.
The app may be in your app drawer rather than your home screen. Search for “Decoda” in your app drawer or use your device’s search function.

​
Updating the App

The Decoda mobile app updates automatically when you have an internet connection. You’ll be prompted to refresh when a new version is available.
Simply reload the app to get the latest features and improvements.
