Important for Push Notifications on iPhone​

⚠️ Web Push notifications on iPhone only work when:

  • The app is installed to your Home Screen (not just bookmarked in Safari).
  • The app instance has notification permissions enabled.
  • The browser tab is not actively open; notifications appear as system alerts.

If you don't add the app to your Home Screen, push notifications will not appear, but all other features will work normally through Safari.

Enabling Notifications (iPhone & Android)​

After installing the app:

  1. Open the installed MintCondition app.
  2. Tap Account Settings (usually accessible from a menu or profile icon).
  3. Navigate to Notifications.
  4. Tap "Enable Notifications".
  5. When prompted by your device, tap "Allow" to grant notification permission.
  6. You'll now receive push notifications for task updates, reservations, invoices, and more.

✨ What to Expect After Installation​

  • App Icon: The app appears as an independent icon on your home screen.
  • App Experience: The app launches in full-screen mode, similar to a native app.
  • Notifications: You'll receive push notifications when enabled (see above for iPhone requirements).
  • Offline Support: Basic offline functionality is available; the app will sync when your connection returns.
  • Auto-Updates: The app updates automatically when you access it.
  • Same Features: All MintCondition features work identically to the web version.
