PHONE SETUP SHEET
Get match alerts on your phone
tourna.gg can tell you when your match is up, when someone reports a score against you, and when a result you're in is contested — without you keeping the page open or watching the pairing board. On Android that works straight away. On iPhone there is one extra step.
iPhone and iPad
Apple only lets a website send notifications once it has been added to your home screen. Until you do this, iPhone will not even offer to turn notifications on.
- 1.Open tourna.gg in Safari. This does not work in Chrome or Firefox on iPhone, or inside the browser that opens when you tap a link in Discord or Instagram — if you got here from one of those, tap the menu and choose Open in Safari.
- 2.Tap the Share button in the Safari toolbar. It is the square with an arrow pointing up out of it, usually at the bottom of the screen.
- 3.Scroll down the list and choose Add to Home Screen.
- 4.Tap Add. A tourna.gg icon appears on your home screen.
- 5.Open tourna.gg from that icon and sign in. It will ask whether to allow notifications — tap Allow.
Android
Nothing to do. Notifications work in a normal Chrome tab — open tourna.gg, sign in, and tap Allow when your phone asks. Chrome may also offer to install tourna.gg as an app; that just gives you a home screen icon and a full-screen window. It is optional and changes nothing about your notifications.
Why iPhone needs the extra step
This is an Apple restriction rather than a tourna.gg limitation. Safari does not give websites access to notifications at all; that access is granted only to a web app installed on the home screen. Every site that sends iPhone notifications without an App Store download works this way.
