Add To Home Screen (iOS, iPadOS)

Customization Theme component

I suggest that the default text should mention push notifications, and avoid mentioning “device.”

Perhaps something like:

“Add %{siteTitle} to your Home Screen to sign up for push notifications! Tap share and then Add to Home Screen.”

It’d be especially helpful if the Discourse team did some A/B testing around this, to find language most likely to get users to sign up for push.

Here are questions I have:

  • Is it better to say “Add” or “Install”?
  • Is it better to mention push notifications here, or to delay mentioning them?
  • If we do mention installation, should we say that this is an “app” being installed? A “web app”?
  • iPad has more room. Is it better to use more words?
