# Odoo mobile apps

Two kind of Odoo mobile app exist: the progressive web app (PWA) and store apps. Using the PWA is
recommended.

## Progressive web app (PWA)

PWAs are web-based applications designed to function across different devices and platforms,
leveraging web browsers to deliver user experiences similar to native apps.

The Odoo PWA features include:

- Quick access by adding the PWA to a device's home screen
- Seamless and borderless navigation experience
- Push notifications
- SSO authentication

To install the Odoo PWA, launch a browser supporting PWAs, and sign in to an Odoo database. The
instructions to install a PWA depend on the platform and browser used.

```{eval-rst}
.. tabs::

   .. tab:: Android

      **Chrome**: open Chrome's menu (:guilabel:`⋮`), select :guilabel:`Install app`, and tap
      :guilabel:`Install`.

      **Firefox**: open Firefox's menu (:guilabel:`⋮`), select :guilabel:`Install`, and either touch
      and hold the Odoo icon or tap :guilabel:`Add automatically`.

      The PWA can also be installed with **Samsung Internet**, **Edge**, and **Opera**.

   .. tab:: iOS

      **Safari**: open the **Share** menu by tapping the square with an arrow pointing upwards icon,
      select :guilabel:`Add to Home Screen`, edit the PWA details if desired, and tap
      :guilabel:`Add`.

      On iOS 16.4 and above, the PWA can also be installed with **Chrome**, **Firefox**, and
      **Edge**.

      **Chrome** and **Edge**: click the installation icon at the right of the address bar and click
      :guilabel:`Install`.

## Store apps

The Odoo mobile apps are available for download on the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.odoo.mobile) and [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/odoo/id1272543640).

The iOS app cannot be updated and will be deprecated at some point in the future.

While the store apps support multi-accounts, they are not compatible with SSO authentication.
