It’s enabled by default for every site that is installed following our [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) guide.

Thanks, so how do I turn the feature on?  
I visited [https://meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org)  
2. I switched off my Wifi\Internet.

I got “no internet error” on my IOS device.  
What am I missing or are there any flags I need to set ? Is there a dependency on a Theme component that I need to install?  
Thanks

You shouldn’t need to visit Meta at all. See [Discourse now works as a PWA in iOS](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-now-works-as-a-pwa-in-ios/146346)

Thanks,  
I read through that same instructions earlier, but the issue I face is that, the SHARE arrow is not there for me. It is not showing. I am running IOS 17. I have even tried on DiscourseHub app;I don’t see it.  
Perhaps, there is flag that needs setting?  
Thanks

You won’t see it on Discourse Hub because that’s not a web page. You need to be doing it from your browser.

Then your iOS is broken. It is there when you open i.e. Safari.

On iPhone it is down there:

And after that:

Sorry, I didn’t bother change language for that. You know icons, though. But it is in English something like Add to home screen.
