Download to home screen.

how do i make it prompt to someone to download the icon to their home screen when you scan the qr code

Hi Paul,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Let me help you with that:

To prompt users to download an icon to their home screen after scanning a QR code, this functionality is not directly controlled by Jotform. However, you can create a web app or a progressive web app (PWA) that includes this prompt, then generate a QR code linking to that app or webpage.

In Jotform, you can easily create a QR code for your form by publishing it and using the Share Options under the Quick Share tab. This QR code will link to your form, but the prompt to add an icon to the home screen depends on the user's device and browser settings.

If you want a custom app experience with an icon prompt, consider using Jotform Apps where you can customize your app's name and icon.

Give it a try and let me know if you need any help.

Hi Paul,

Just to clarify, are you referring to the Jotform App and want your users to have the option to download the app icon to their home screen after scanning the QR code? If so, you can enable the prompt modal in your Jotform App settings to allow users to add the app to their home screen. Here’s how to enable it:

1. In App Builder, click Settings from the top tab.

2. In your App Settings, toggle the Add to Home Screen Modal to On.

This will prompt users, when they access the app via the QR code, with an option to add the app icon to their home screen depending on their device and browser capabilities. If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more so I can help you better?

Reach out again if you have any other questions.
