Add TeamPole to your phone

Put TeamPole on your home screen so it opens like an app.

  • For:Everyone
  • Takes:1 minute
  • On:phone

Before you start

  • TeamPole is open in your phone’s own browser: Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone. A link opened from WhatsApp or another app opens inside that app instead; see the section on that below.
  • TeamPole is not already on your home screen.

On an Android phone

  1. Sign in. Near the top of Home, just under the clock-in card, you see Add TeamPole to this device. On the sign-in page the same help is a box at the end of the page.
  2. If it shows Install app, press it and confirm in the box your browser shows.
  3. If there is no button, it shows two steps instead. Open the browser menu: tap the three dots at the top right. On Samsung Internet the menu is the three lines at the bottom right. Choose “Install app” or “Add to Home screen”.
  4. The TeamPole icon is added to your home screen. TeamPole then opens from your home screen like any other app.
The numbers match the steps.

On an iPhone or iPad

  1. Sign in. Near the top of Home, just under the clock-in card, you see Add TeamPole to this device with three numbered steps. On the sign-in page the same help is a box at the end of the page.
  2. Tap the Share button. If you do not see it, tap the three dots first.
  3. Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen”.
  4. Tap “Add”. TeamPole then opens from your home screen like any other app.
The numbers match the steps.

Tip

Online sign-in is still required. Employee pages and private files are never saved for offline use. Open TeamPole from the new icon and sign in as usual. See Sign in. Chrome or Firefox on an iPhone works the same way on recent iPhones; if you do not see “Add to Home Screen” there, use Safari.

If you opened the link from WhatsApp or another app

  1. A link opened from WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook or Gmail opens inside that app, which cannot add TeamPole to your home screen. Add TeamPole to this device then says to open the page in your phone’s browser first.
  2. Tap that app’s menu (three dots) and choose “Open in Chrome” on Android or “Open in Safari” on an iPhone. Some apps call it “Open in browser”.
  3. No such choice? On the sign-in page, Home or More, press Copy link and paste the link into Chrome or Safari. On the activation page, the box does not offer Copy link: the invitation address is cleared for your privacy. Go back to the message with your invitation and open the original link in Chrome or Safari from there.
  4. In the browser, sign in and follow the steps for your phone above.

Do it later

  1. Open More.
  2. Press Add TeamPole to your phone. The same steps open, for the phone you are using.

If you do not see the steps

Watch out

The steps show only on a phone or tablet, and not when TeamPole is already open from your home screen. If you pressed Not now, the card stays hidden on that phone for 30 days; the steps are still under More. Once this browser has seen an installation, the card and sign-in box stay hidden; if you later remove the app, use the manual steps under More to add it again.
