Start here, your first ten minutes

An app icon is awesome on your phone, tablet or laptop, here’s how to add one to your home screen

Adding a Qbit icon on your home screen is easy, though a little different for each device and OS (i.e., iPhone is different than Android is different than Windows 11 is different than iOS).

Setting up Qbit on my daughters phone

Steps

  1. Tap the “Add Qbit to your homescreen” banner on the Home page.
  2. On iPhone or iPad (Safari), follow these three steps: 1. tap the Share button in Safari, 2. scroll down to “Add to Home Screen”, then 3. tap “Add”.
  3. Open Qbit from the new icon.

Tips

  • This is the step people say they wish they’d done on day one.
  • It also tends to keep you signed in, so there is no need to keep reentering passwords.

Good to know

Good to know: The banner shows on phones and tablets until you install or dismiss it, and the same option lives in Support & Setup too. On a phone with screen-time restrictions, the “Trouble installing?” link on the banner explains what’s going on, and Qbit works fully in your browser either way.
