How to add TG Flows to your phone as an app and turn on notifications

You can use TG Flows on your phone exactly like a normal app. Install it straight from the browser, turn on push notifications inside it, and a TG Flows icon appears on your home screen — the app opens in its own window and tells you every time a subscriber writes to your inbox.

TG Flows isn't downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. You install it from the browser — Safari on iPhone, Google Chrome on Android. It takes under two minutes.

Installing on iPhone

1. Open TG Flows in Safari

On your phone, open Safari, go to tgflows.com/dashboard and sign in.

The page has to be open in Safari itself — not in the in-app browser of Telegram, Instagram or anything else. You can't install to the home screen from those.

2. Add TG Flows to your home screen

Tap the Share icon — the square with an arrow pointing up. Scroll down the menu and choose Add to Home Screen.

If you don't see it, scroll to the very bottom, tap Edit Actions and add Add to Home Screen yourself.

3. Confirm

Leave the name as TG Flows. Keep Open as Web App switched on and tap Add in the top right.

The TG Flows icon appears on your home screen. From now on, open the app with that icon, not through Safari.

4. Turn on notifications

Open TG Flows using the new icon. Then open the main menu, go to Settings, open the Notifications tab, switch on Push notifications and tap Allow on this device.

iPhone will then ask for permission the usual way — tap Allow. Your phone appears in the Signed-in devices list, and you can check it works right away with Send a test notification.

You need iOS 16.4 or newer. On older versions, push notifications for web apps don't work at all. Check your version under Settings → General → About → iOS Version.

Installing on Android

1. Open TG Flows in Google Chrome

On your phone, open Google Chrome, go to tgflows.com/dashboard and sign in.

Open the page in Chrome itself — not in the in-app browser of Telegram, Instagram or anything else.

2. Install TG Flows

Tap the three dots in the top right. Depending on your Chrome version you'll see either Install app or Add to Home screen → Install. Pick whichever is there and confirm.

3. Open the app from your home screen

Once it's installed, the TG Flows icon appears on your home screen. Open the app with that icon from now on, not through a Chrome tab again.

4. Turn on notifications

In the installed app, open the main menu, go to Settings, open the Notifications tab, switch on Push notifications and tap Allow on this device.

Android will then ask for permission — tap Allow. Your phone appears in the Signed-in devices list, and Send a test notification confirms it works.

When notifications don't arrive

The most common cause is always the same: TG Flows is open in the browser, not through the icon on your home screen. Push notifications don't work in the browser. Check that first.

On iPhone

• Make sure you open TG Flows from the home-screen icon, not in Safari.
• Open Settings → Notifications → TG Flows and turn on Allow Notifications.
• Check that Do Not Disturb or another Focus isn't hiding them.

On Android

• Make sure you open TG Flows from the installed home-screen icon.
• Press and hold the TG Flows icon, open App info, go to Notifications and turn on Allow notifications.
• The exact wording varies a little by phone maker and Android version.

Check the settings inside the app too. Under Settings → Notifications the main Push notifications switch has to be on, and your phone has to appear under Signed-in devices. If it isn't there, tap Allow on this device again.

Done

TG Flows now sits on your home screen and behaves like any other mobile app. With push notifications on, you see it the moment a subscriber writes to your inbox — no need to keep TG Flows open or check for new messages by hand.
