Share an app

You can share your site, a page, a folder, or a gallery as a custom, downloadable “app” for your clients and friends to save on their phone. Make it super easy for anyone to find and access exactly what you’ve shared with them.
To use this nifty feature to share a gallery, open your Share panel and select the Gallery tab. Click the Mobile App Link to highlight your custom app link, then copy (CMD + C) and paste it (CMD + V) in an email, Facebook post, tweet, text message—however you best like to share links.

When your client, friend, or family member taps the link on their phone, they’ll be prompted to download your shared mobile app.

They’ll need to tap the share icon on their phone, then “Add to Home Screen.” They can choose to rename the app to whatever they like, but it will default to your SmugMug profile display name. The app icon will be created using your profile photo.

Once they select the app’s name and click “Add,” a new app icon will save to their Phone’s screen.

Now they’ll be able to tap that icon and view the photos you shared anytime they want.

Tip: Want to share your entire site, a page, or a folder instead? You can alter any URL on your SmugMug site to be a downloadable app link! Just add “?mobile” to the end of any URL on your SmugMug site to make it an app link.
Example: Change https://favorites.smugmug.com to https://favorites.smugmug.com?mobile. Share the second link to deliver a downloadable app of that SmugMug site to anyone you wish.
