How to Add the Spiro Portal to Your Phone (No App Required)

Spiro does not currently have a downloadable mobile app. However, the portals are mobile-optimized and can be added directly to your phone’s home screen — allowing them to function like an app.

This creates a shortcut icon that opens Spiro in full-screen mode for quick access.

Portal Links

Depending on your role, you may use:

(You can add any or all to your home screen.)

Customizing the Portal Icon (Client Portal Only)

If you (or an agents) are adding an Order Page / Agent Portal to your home screen, the shortcut icon can be customized with your company branding.

To update the icon:

  1. Go to Settings → Company Branding

  2. Upload your Web App Logo

  3. Save your changes

The uploaded Web App Logo will appear:

  • In the browser tab

  • When the portal is added to a phone’s home screen

  • Whether the user is logged in or not

If no Web App Logo is uploaded, the icon will default to the standard Spiro logo.

Note: Admin, Photographer, and Editor portals always display the standard Spiro logo and cannot be customized.

Android (Chrome)

  1. Open Chrome on your phone.

  2. Navigate to the portal website.

  3. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.

  4. Tap Add to Home screen.

    • Note: If the site supports Progressive Web App installation, you may see “Install app” instead.

  5. Name the shortcut.

  6. Tap Add.

The icon will now appear on your home screen.

iPhone / iPad (Safari)

  1. Open Safari.

  2. Navigate to the portal website.

  3. Tap the Share button (square with an arrow pointing up).

  4. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.

  5. Name the shortcut.

  6. Tap Add.

The portal will now appear on your home screen and open like an app.

What This Does

Adding Spiro to your home screen:

  • Opens in a dedicated browser window

  • Provides faster access

  • Looks and behaves similarly to a mobile app

  • Uses the same secure login as the desktop version
