VivaLynx installs like any other app, but it doesn't always land on your home screen. If you've installed it and can't see it, it isn't missing — here's how to find it and pin it somewhere you'll always spot it.
iPhone and iPad
Find it first
Swipe down on the middle of your home screen and type VivaLynx. If it appears in the results, it's installed.
Put it on your home screen
New apps sometimes go to the App Library — the last page of screens, to the right of everything else — instead of your home screen.
Swipe left past your last home screen page until you reach the App Library.
Find VivaLynx. The search bar at the top of that screen is the quickest way.
Touch and hold the VivaLynx icon.
Keep holding, drag it left, and drop it on your home screen.
Tap Done.
Stop it happening with the next app
Settings → Home Screen & App Library. On older versions this is just Home Screen.
Under Newly Downloaded Apps, choose Add to Home Screen.
Pin it to the dock
The dock is the row of four apps that stays at the bottom of every home screen page. It's the easiest place to find anything.
Touch and hold any app on the home screen until the icons jiggle.
If the dock is already full, drag one app out of it and onto the screen above.
Drag VivaLynx down into the empty space.
Tap Done.
Android
Find it first
Swipe up from the bottom of your home screen to open the app drawer, then type VivaLynx in the search bar at the top.
Put it on your home screen
Open the app drawer and find VivaLynx.
Touch and hold the icon.
Drag it onto your home screen and let go.
On some phones, holding the icon shows a small menu instead — choose Add to Home or Add to home screen.
Pin it to the favorites row
The row of apps along the bottom of the screen stays put as you swipe between home screens.
Touch and hold VivaLynx on your home screen.
Drag it down into the bottom row.
If the row is full, drag one of the apps already there up onto the screen first.
Stop it happening with the next app
Menu names vary by phone maker, but most have this somewhere:
Settings → Home screen, then turn on Add new apps to home screen.
On Samsung phones it's Settings → Home screen → Add new apps to Home screen. On Pixel, long-press an empty part of the home screen, tap Home settings, then Add app icons to Home screen.
If you still can't find it
The app may not have finished installing.
On iPhone or iPad, open TestFlight and check VivaLynx shows Open rather than Install.
On Android, go back to the Firebase App Distribution email and tap the Download button again.
