# Getting Creatures on your phone (add it to your home screen)

Creatures installs directly from your phone's browser; there is no App Store or Play Store download. The home-screen version opens like an app and keeps its own Creatures sign-in.

## Open the install instructions

Sign in through Safari or Chrome, open your profile menu, and select **Get the app**. If your browser offers its own install prompt, follow it. Otherwise Creatures opens the steps for your device.

### On iPhone or iPad

1. Open Creatures in **Safari**.
2. Tap **Share** in the browser toolbar.
3. Choose **Add to Home Screen**, then tap **Add**.

### On Android

1. Open Creatures in **Chrome**.
2. Open the browser menu, usually the three dots.
3. Choose **Install app** or **Add to Home screen**.

Open Creatures from the new icon and sign in there one time. After that, use the icon instead of reopening a link inside Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or an email app. Those in-app browsers may keep a separate sign-in.

## Use the phone navigation

At the bottom of a signed-in phone screen, the main destinations stay within reach:

- **Home** for your feed and suggestions.
- **Dashboard** for work that needs attention.
- **Create** for **Add animal**, **New listing**, **Add record**, or **New group**.
- **My animals** for the animals you manage.
- **Support** for this Help Center and support access.

The installed version is the same Creatures account and data as the browser version. Removing the home-screen icon does not delete your account or records; you can install it again at any time.
