Install on Android
You can install Hydrate on your Android device like a regular app. You'll need the Chrome browser.
Option 1: automatic prompt
Chrome may automatically offer to install Hydrate. A banner will appear at the bottom of the screen saying "Add Hydrate to Home screen". Tap "Install" — and you're done.
Option 2: manual installation
If the banner didn't appear, you can install the app manually.
-
Open Hydrate in Chrome
Open the Hydrate app in Chrome on your Android device.
-
Open the browser menu
Tap the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome to open the browser menu.
-
Select "Install app"
In the menu, find "Install app" (or "Add to Home screen"). Tap it.
-
Confirm the installation
In the dialog that appears, tap "Install".
-
Done!
The Hydrate icon will appear on your home screen and in the app drawer. Tap it — the app will open in full screen, just like a regular mobile app.
Please note
The installed app stores data separately from the browser. If you previously used Hydrate in Chrome, your records won't transfer automatically — you'll start fresh.
However, clearing Chrome history won't affect the installed app's data.
