Add jrvaPhotoShare to Your Home Screen

You can add jrvaPhotoShare to your phone's home screen so it looks and feels like a regular app. It opens in its own window, launches instantly, and your login stays saved.

Add to Home Screen

  1. Open Safari and go to jrvaphotoshare.com
  2. Log in to your account if you aren't already logged in.
  3. Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen (it looks like a square with an arrow pointing up).
  4. Scroll down the share menu and tap "Add to Home Screen".
  5. You can customize the name or leave it as-is, then tap "Add" in the top-right corner.
Tip: You must use Safari for this to work on iPhone. Chrome and other browsers on iPhone don't support adding sites to the home screen.

Saving Your Password

  1. When you log in, Safari will ask "Save Password?" at the top or bottom of the screen. Tap "Save Password".
  2. Your password is now stored in iCloud Keychain. Next time you log in, Safari will offer to fill it in automatically.
  3. If you missed the prompt, go to Settings → Passwords on your iPhone to add it manually.
Important: Make sure auto-fill is turned on. Go to Settings → Passwords → AutoFill Passwords and toggle it on.
That's it. You'll now have a jrvaPhotoShare icon on your home screen. Tap it to go straight to your albums, just like opening any other app.
