If it does not work
- No install option in the menu: the address is not
https://, or you are in a browser that does not install web apps. On an iPhone use Safari; on Android use Chrome, Edge or Samsung Internet. I can’t install the app - The icon opens an old version: close the app completely and open it again; it updates itself when your server is updated. Updates
