iOS access guide
Base44 for iPhone is easiest to use through a mobile browser, where you can open projects, review changes, test published pages, and share working links. This guide covers the setup, a complete mobile run-through, and the limitations worth knowing.
Before you start
A short setup check prevents most problems when using Base44 on an iPhone.
Open Base44 in Safari or another current iOS browser with JavaScript enabled. Safari is the simplest starting point because it handles home-screen shortcuts, file selection, and responsive previews without an additional setup.
Keep the email, workspace link, or project URL you normally use for Base44 available. If a teammate sent you a preview, ask for the published link as well as the editor link; the two experiences can behave differently on a small screen.
A stable connection and enough free storage make mobile testing more predictable. Turn off Low Power Mode if a preview is repeatedly interrupted, and rotate the iPhone when checking layouts that include tables, dashboards, or wide navigation.
Mobile workflow
This is a realistic Base44 session on iPhone, from opening a project to sharing the result.
Open a published landing page from a message, check the hero, buttons, and contact path, then send the link to a collaborator.
You can complete a focused quality check without opening a laptop. For broader planning context, see the [Base44 website builder](/base44-website-builder) guide.
Base44 website builderUse Safari to open the preview, tap through navigation, submit a sample form, and rotate the device to inspect responsive behavior.
The iPhone becomes a practical acceptance-testing device for everyday flows. The [Base44 apps](/base44-apps) overview helps identify the kinds of app surfaces worth testing.

You catch mobile-specific presentation issues before sharing a release candidate. Compare the available starting patterns in [Base44 templates](/base44-templates).

A client can review progress from an iPhone with little onboarding, provided the project owner supplies the correct link and permissions.

Try Base44 on iPhoneCommon questions
Yes. Base44 can be opened from a mobile browser on an iPhone, especially for reviewing projects, testing published pages, and sharing links. Editing may feel more comfortable on a larger screen when the project has many controls.
The practical iPhone route is to use Base44 through Safari or another current mobile browser. You can add a frequently used page to the Home Screen for quicker access, but the shortcut still relies on the web experience.
You can handle small edits and straightforward project tasks from an iPhone browser. For complex layouts, long prompts, detailed configuration, or repeated revisions, a desktop or tablet generally offers better visibility and control.
A mobile browser uses a narrower viewport, so navigation, columns, tables, and spacing may reflow. Rotate the iPhone, refresh the preview, and test the published page rather than judging only the editor view.
You can open and share a published project link from iPhone using the browser's normal share tools. If publishing controls are difficult to reach, complete the release on a larger screen and use the iPhone for final verification.
