Gianna on iPhone & iPad

Gianna runs in Safari and can be added to the Home Screen. This is required for web notifications on iPhone and iPad.

Open Gianna

Open Safari and go to gianna.chat. Sign in, and tap Open Gianna to reach the app. You can use it right here in the browser — but for the best experience, add it to your Home Screen.

Add to Home Screen

This is the important step. On iPhone, Gianna can only show notifications and run full-screen from the Home Screen; Apple does not allow web notifications from an ordinary Safari tab.

1. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow, at the bottom of Safari).
2. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
3. Tap Add.

Now open Gianna from the new icon. The notification option appears in the installed app.

Notifications

Gianna can send morning notes, reminders, routines, and the evening examen when the app is closed.

Turn them on:

1. Open Gianna from the Home Screen icon (not Safari — this is the step Apple requires, see above).
2. Go to Settings inside the app.
3. Tap Get Gianna's notes on this device.
4. iPhone will ask "Gianna" Would Like to Send You Notifications — tap Allow.

Tapping a notification opens the corresponding message in Gianna.

Notifications follow the quiet hours, notification level, and daily limit in Settings.

If you tapped "Don't Allow" by mistake: iPhone won't ask a second time, so the button can't re-prompt. To undo it, open iOS Settings → Apps → Notifications → Gianna (or find Gianna in the apps list) and turn Allow Notifications on. Then reopen Gianna and tap the button again.

A few honest notes for iPhone:

• This works on iOS 16.4 or later. If you're on something older, use Telegram below.
• Notifications only work when Gianna is opened from the Home Screen icon — never from Safari. (If the button in Settings isn't there, you're in Safari, or Gianna hasn't been added to the Home Screen yet.)
• Gianna refreshes the notification subscription when the app opens. If notifications stop, open the installed app once.

Telegram — often the easier path on iPhone

Telegram is another way to receive scheduled messages on an iPhone and does not require the Home Screen installation.

1. Install Telegram from the App Store if you don't have it.
2. In Gianna, open Settings (or tap Connect Telegram on the welcome card) and tap the link.
3. Telegram opens straight to the Gianna bot and connects you automatically.

Morning notes, reminders, and the examen then arrive in Telegram, where you can reply to Gianna.

Voice notes

Through Telegram you can also speak to Gianna. Hold the microphone, say your intention or your day. Gianna transcribes it before responding. Voice is a Pro feature.

Small tips

• If a button near the very bottom of the screen feels hard to tap, scroll up slightly and try again.
• Use the Home Screen icon for the installed, full-screen app and notifications.
• Light or dark, Gianna follows your taste; the theme toggle is at the top of the screen.
