Does WhatsClicks have an app?

The WhatsClicks dashboard can be installed as an app, on both phone and computer. In practice, you open the dashboard in your browser and add it to your home screen or program list, like any other app, with its own icon.

That means you do not need to search for or download anything from an app store. The dashboard is the same one you use in the browser, just with a handy shortcut. People who follow the clicks of several links during the day usually like that convenience.

If you have never installed a website as an app, do not worry. The process takes less than a minute, does not take up meaningful space on the device and can be undone at any time by deleting the icon as you would with any other.

Why install the dashboard as an app?

Installing the app does not change any data. Everything you see on your phone is the same as on your computer, because the account is the same.

For agencies and managers, the app is handy too: you can open the dashboard quickly during a meeting and show the day's numbers to a client, without needing a computer.

  • Quick access: one tap on the icon and the dashboard opens, with no typing the address.
  • Cleaner screen: the app opens without the browser address bar, which leaves more room for the charts.
  • Easy alerts: the alerts sit at the top of the dashboard, like a link with no clicks for 24 hours or an unusual spike.
  • Same login on several devices: you can use the same account on your phone, your computer and other devices.

How do you install it on your phone, step by step?

The menu names change depending on the device and the browser version, so the steps below are a general rule. Always look for an option similar to add to home screen or install app.

  1. Open your phone's browser and log in to the WhatsClicks dashboard.
  2. Open the browser menu. It is usually a three-dot icon or a share button.
  3. Look for the option to install the app or add to home screen. The name may vary.
  4. Confirm and, if the device asks for the shortcut name, keep WhatsClicks.
  5. Go back to your phone's home screen. You should see the WhatsClicks icon, like any other app.
  6. Tap the icon to open it. The dashboard should open without the browser bar and already signed in to your account.

If the install option does not appear, update your browser and try again. Some browsers only show the option after one or two visits to the page.

How do you install it on a computer?

On a computer, the path is similar. Open the dashboard in your browser and look, near the address bar or in the browser menu, for an option to install the app.

After you confirm, WhatsClicks opens in its own window and gets an icon in your program list or on the desktop. You can leave that window open in a corner of the screen while you work on something else.

As with any browser install, the exact button name varies. If you cannot find it, open the browser menu and look for install or create shortcut.

How do you use the dashboard day to day through the app?

With the icon on your screen, a simple routine helps you get value from the numbers without spending time.

Over time, you learn which blocks of the Summary matter most for your business and start opening the app already knowing where to look. That makes tracking quick and steady, without depending on long reports.

  1. In the morning, open the app and look at the Today / Yesterday card on the Summary tab to see how the previous day ended.
  2. Check the alerts at the top. If a link has had no clicks for 24 hours, see whether the button is still live.
  3. Once a week, choose 7 days and look at the comparison with the previous period.
  4. On the Links tab, edit, pause or create links when you need to, without opening a computer.

Security and good practices on your phone

Because the dashboard shows your business data, treat the device with care. Use a screen lock and do not leave the app open on a shared phone. If you lose the device, log in to your account from another device and change the information you need on the Account tab.

The dashboard also has a light and a dark theme, which you pick for comfort. And it is available in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

If you share your phone with other people, sign out when you finish. That way nobody changes a link by mistake and your numbers stay yours.
