HelpSpace does not offer a native iPhone or Android app. However, the web app is fully responsive and automatically adapts to the screen size of your smartphone or tablet.

To make your mobile workflow easier, here are the most important tips.

Add HelpSpace to Your Home Screen

You can add HelpSpace to your home screen and launch it just like a native app.

How to add it, e.g., iPhone/iPad:

  1. Open Safari and go to your HelpSpace workspace URL.

  2. Tap the Share button.

  3. Select Add to Home Screen.

A HelpSpace icon will appear on your home screen for quick access.

Enable Push Notifications

Push notifications must be enabled separately on each device. Make sure they are allowed in your mobile browser settings so you won’t miss important updates while you're on the go.

How to enable push notifications:

  1. Tap your profile in the top-right corner.
    (Tip: If the top-right corner is not visible, open any ticket → go to the contact details → the top bar will appear—check the ticket description above.)

  2. Activate "Push Notifications on this device".
