MS Form - Add to home screen links not working
Hi, We have a form created that is opened to all to fill out (No auth required) . When creating a link to it, wether a direct link or QR code, it loads up fine on IOS devices (safari). The issue...

I have the same problem. Created a form for people to report volunteer hours worked. It's an anonymous form. Adding to iOS home screen breaks the functionality.
Classic modern Microsoft behaviour, pushing people to sign in, sign up instead of valuing basic functionality.

- Evan_StoneJan 11, 2024Copper ContributorI also have the same problem. I have two forms for my team that are entered every day. I am using anonymous forms so they don't have to log in and waste time and effort doing that in the awful forms interface on the iphone. The work around doesn't change anything anyways for microsoft. My team just have the anonymous form bookmarked on safari. But there was no reason to regress this functionality, all it does is make things more difficult for tech challenged end users. I have to bookmark forms for several of my team members, a homescreen icon was ideal for the month that it worked and we were using it.
- MarcLarocheJan 11, 2024Brass ContributorSo after a few exchanges with Microsoft Support, and this being brought to the Forms development team, this was a change on their end, which they don't intend to roll back. As a much less convenient alternative, the forms can be bookmarked in a browser and it will be saved correctly and can be accessed from there.
- Tim_TrevenenJan 30, 2024Copper ContributorWhat happened to customer-centred design? This function was used by so many of my co-staff who also work remotely. Not only is this solution less convenient but countless customers throughout the world are no doubt having to waste time chasing up a solution.
The forms app isn't intuitive. I can't find the unfilled version of the form I need to fill out on a daily basis ... only one version of the form after it was filled out. I still want to be able to access the unfilled form from an icon on my mobile home screen. Going though the app each time is incovenient.
Can someone please make that happen?
