Guesting OS

Install on iPhone

Put Guesting on your iPhone Home Screen from Safari, sign in inside the app, then turn on booking alerts.

Who can use this: Anyone with a Guesting staff login, on an iPhone with Safari. Booking alerts also need View access on Booking requests.

What this is for#

An iPhone only sends alerts to Guesting when it is installed on the Home Screen. In Safari alone it can never ring. When you finish, Guesting opens from its own icon and booking alerts reach this phone even when it is closed.

Before you start#

  • Use Safari. Another browser on the iPhone cannot install Guesting.
  • Have your email and password ready. You sign in again inside the installed app.
  • Install from the sign-in page, so the app opens on the Hub and covers every module.

Steps#

  1. In Safari, open the sign-in page. You do not need to sign in yet.
  2. Tap Share, then "Add to Home Screen".
  3. Make sure "Open as Web App" is on (iOS 26), then tap Add.
  4. Close Safari.
  5. Open Guesting from its icon on the Home Screen.
  6. Sign in again inside the app, with your email, password and sign-in code. The app does not share Safari's sign-in.
  7. Turn on alerts: open Alert settings and switch on Alerts on this device, or press Turn on in the popup when Studio opens. Then tap Allow when the iPhone asks. See Booking alerts on this device.
