# Kerux on your phone

> Install Kerux on your phone's home screen and get a notification when a contact replies, needs you or has a meeting about to start.

Kerux works in your phone's browser, and you can also install it like an app: it gets its own icon, opens full screen and can send you notifications. There's nothing to download from a store.

## Install it

> [tab] iPhone or iPad
>
> 1. Open [www.usekerux.com](https://www.usekerux.com) in **Safari** and sign in.
> 2. Tap **Share** (the square with the arrow), then **Add to Home Screen**, then **Add**.
> 3. Open Kerux from the new icon. Notifications need iOS 16.4 or later and only work from the icon, not from a Safari tab.

> [tab] Android
>
> 1. Open [www.usekerux.com](https://www.usekerux.com) in **Chrome** and sign in.
> 2. Tap **Install app** on the **Get Kerux on your phone.** banner, or open Chrome's menu and tap **Install app** (or **Add to Home screen**).

On a phone, Kerux shows a **Get Kerux on your phone.** banner until you install it or tap **Not now** (it doesn't come back after that). On iPhone it says the two taps; on Android it has an **Install app** button.

## Turn on notifications

**1. Open Preferences**

On the phone (from the Kerux icon), open your account menu and tap **Preferences**.

**2. Turn them on for this phone**

Under **Phone app**, tap **Turn on notifications** and allow them when the phone asks. **Send a test** checks it works.

**3. Choose what you get**

Under **What to tell me**, keep or untick each one.

![Preferences > Phone app: notifications on for this device, what to tell me, meeting reminder minutes and devices](https://mintcdn.com/kerux-f37add41/hxXnH5J2aAMkPLq4/images/phone-app.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hxXnH5J2aAMkPLq4\&q=85\&s=9d9b0c10d9d415dba9f1e94b90faaf04)

| Notification | When |
| - | - |
| **A contact replies in the inbox** | Someone writes to one of your accounts: on LinkedIn, the person who connected the account gets it, and the contact's owner too for campaign conversations; on email, WhatsApp and text (SMS), the contact's owner |
| **A contact needs attention (stopped and waiting for you)** | A contact stopped in a campaign and waits for someone (missing data, a send to confirm...): the contact's owner, or whoever made the campaign. Tapping it opens the contact with the fix |
| **A meeting with a contact is about to start** | The minutes you choose in **Remind me before meetings with contacts** (30 by default): the person whose calendar or booking tool it came from (else the workspace's owners and admins) |

**Your privacy.** A reply notification only says who replied, never what they wrote, unless you tick **Show the first words of the reply** (then up to 80 characters). Notifications can show on a locked screen, so keep that off on a phone other people see. Kerux keeps nothing on the phone itself: every screen loads fresh from Kerux.

Meeting reminders need a connected calendar or booking tool, and booked-meeting tracking is part of Pro and Agency (and the free trial); see [Meetings booked by contacts](/help/campaigns/meetings.md). **Remind me before meetings with contacts** also adds the reminder to **My tasks** in Kerux, with or without notifications. Set it to **Off** to stop it. To remind the **contact** before the meeting (an email, a WhatsApp message or a LinkedIn message), see [Remind the contact before the meeting](/help/campaigns/meetings.md#remind-the-contact-before-the-meeting).

## Devices

**Devices that get notifications** lists every phone and browser where you turned them on. **Remove** stops one. Signing out of Kerux on a device stops its notifications too, and **Sign out everywhere** stops them on every device. If someone else signs in on the same phone and turns notifications on, only they get them there from then on.

## If nothing arrives

* **Notifications are blocked for Kerux in this browser's settings**: allow them in the phone's settings (iPhone: **Settings > Notifications > Kerux**; Android: long-press the Kerux icon, **App info > Notifications**), then come back.
* **On iPhone and iPad, add Kerux to your Home Screen first**: notifications only work from the installed icon.
* A device the phone's push service reports as gone (the app was removed, notifications turned off) leaves the list on its own.
