Native App VR Experience: SeekBeak + Full-Screen Demos

One of SeekBeak's biggest strengths is that everything you can do in the desktop version is automatically optimized for mobile.

But when it comes to working in your SeekBeak account on your mobile phone, mobile web browsers can sometimes eat up much-needed screen space.

We're happy to share an easy workaround for IOS and Android so you can use SeekBeak on your phone as if it were a native app, without any of the drawbacks of having a mobile web browser frame or address bar (like Firefox, Safari, or Chrome).

How To Use SeekBeak on Your Mobile As If It Were A Native App in IOS or Android

Step 1 - Open up the SeekBeak App in your mobile browser. We've linked to your main Groups page here, but you can start at any page you'd like.

Let's get rid of all that space at the bottom!

In iOS, at the bottom of the screen, click the icon with the arrow coming out of it.

Add to Home Screen Button

Scroll to find  "Add to Home Screen". If you're using Android, the option is in the top right menu.

 A window will open up asking you to name the shortcut. We've been clever here and called it "SeekBeak".

SeekBeak will now be on your home screen and when you open it up, there will be no browser "chrome" on the bottom, (or top), of the browser.

No More Address Bar

SeekBeak will now launch as if it were a native app without the browser address bar, which means you can take advantage of full-screen XR mode and other full-screen features.

We hope that helps!

* on iOS, we purposely float the bottom navbar above the very bottom of the screen to avoid accidental swipes which would close the browser, or trigger iOS's default bottom gestures.
