How to Install Still Friends on iPhone or iPad

Still Friends can be added to your iPhone or iPad Home Screen. After that, you can open it from its icon just like the other apps on your device.

This is useful if you want quick access to your Facebook friend list changes, lost friends, new friends, and alerts without searching for the website every time.

Still Friends is a Progressive Web App. That means you install it from the browser instead of the App Store, but it can still appear on your Home Screen with an app icon.

The installed app opens the same Still Friends account you use in the browser. Your tracked Facebook profiles, results, and settings stay tied to your Still Friends sign-in.

Step 1: Open Still Friends in Safari

On your iPhone or iPad, open Safari and go to:

app.stillfriends.com

If you are reading this page inside another app, copy the address and open it directly in Safari.

Tap the Share button in Safari. It usually appears in the bottom toolbar on iPhone and near the top of the screen on iPad.

The icon looks like a square with an arrow pointing up.

Step 3: Choose Add to Home Screen

Scroll through the Share menu until you see Add to Home Screen.

Tap it.

If you do not see the option, confirm that the page is open in Safari, not an in-app browser. You may also need to scroll farther down in the Share sheet.

Step 4: Confirm the name

Safari will show the Still Friends icon and name.

You can keep the default name, then tap Add.

After you confirm, iOS adds the Still Friends icon to your Home Screen.

Step 5: Open Still Friends from your Home Screen

After adding it, Still Friends will appear on your Home Screen with its icon.

Use that icon when you want the app-style experience on iPhone or iPad.

Opening from the Home Screen is also the best habit if you want the app to behave consistently across sessions.

Notifications on iPhone and iPad

Still Friends can send alerts when notifications are supported and enabled for your installed app.

To use notifications:

Open Still Friends from the Home Screen icon.
Sign in to your account.
Connect your Facebook profile.
Enable alerts when Still Friends asks for permission.

If push notifications are not available for your device or browser setup, Still Friends can still send email notifications when email alerts are enabled for your account.

If Add to Home Screen is missing

The most common reason is that the page is not open in Safari. Links opened from Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Messages previews, or other embedded browsers may hide the install controls.

Try this:

open Safari manually;
type or paste https://app.stillfriends.com;
wait for the page to load;
tap Share again;
look for Add to Home Screen.

How this helps with tracking

Installing Still Friends does not change how Facebook works. The app still needs tracking history to compare friend list changes over time.

The benefit is access. When Still Friends is on your Home Screen, it is easier to review results, refresh your profile, enable alerts, and return to the app when you want to check who unfriended you on Facebook.

If you use Android too, there is a separate guide to install Still Friends on Android.

The main takeaway

You do not need the App Store to install Still Friends on iPhone or iPad. Open Still Friends in Safari, use Add to Home Screen, and then launch it from the icon for the best app-style experience.
