Short answer

Mobile AI companion = open https://www.aisoul.work in browser → Add to Home Screen (PWA) → chat fullscreen like an app. No App Store required for adult features — stores censor NSFW binaries (DatingDroid via PWA vs app).

Key takeaways

- iOS: use Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen (Chrome iOS bookmark ≠ full PWA).

- Android: Chrome → Install app / Add to Home Screen.

- Discretion: browser/PWA = no app icon in store library if you use private tab (tradeoff: less convenient).

- Same account on phone and desktop — one companion thread.

Step 1 — Open the official site

Go to https://www.aisoul.work (or your chosen companion’s official URL only).

Avoid fake “Candy AI” / “Replika” clones in app stores.

2. Tap menu → Install app or Add to Home screen
