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. Honestly, it does my head in why - for Microsoft - it seems to be more important for people to be able to create a form from a mobile phone rather than respond to one. Go figure.
MattBee That's what I'm seeing as well.
C'mon Microsoft, just give us back the ability to save an uncompleted form to our mobile homescreens. It must be impacting millions of people.
- Well, I have found a solution for Android devices. You cna get the Website Shortcut app from the Play Store and install any links you like. Still, it used to be soo much easier. Here's a link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deltacdev.websiteshortcut&pcampaignid=web_share
There is another work around which is to turn off wifi and mobile internet, scan the QR code, when the browser (safari in this case) opens the link but it can't load the page, save that to the home screen and then re-enable wifi and mobile internet.
It doesn't look pretty and isn't intuitive but does work - it does also make me look like I've got a rubbish solutionOr you can scan the qr code while in airplane mode, add the link to Home page and it works
- Well done.
- hear! hear!
