Why add it to your home screen
One tap
Open MyPadi from your home screen like any other app.
Full screen
No browser bar getting in the way while you chat and pay.
Same account
Your receipts, saved numbers and schedules are the same as on the website.
Small and safe
It does not take up space like a store app, and card payments still go through Paystack.
Cannot find the install option?
iPhone: there is no Add to Home Screen
Open this page in Safari, not inside another app. Turn off Private Browsing. Then tap Share, scroll to the bottom of the list and tap Edit Actions if Add to Home Screen is hidden.
Android: there is no Install button
Use Chrome or Samsung Internet, not a Private or Incognito tab. Update your browser from the Play Store. Wait a few seconds on this page, then check the browser menu again. If MyPadi is already installed, the option will not appear.
I opened this from Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp
Those apps open links in their own small browser, which cannot install apps. Tap the menu and choose Open in browser, or copy the link and paste it into Safari or Chrome.
How do I remove it?
Press and hold the MyPadi icon on your home screen, then choose Remove (iPhone) or Uninstall (Android). Your account and receipts are not deleted.
Do I need to update it?
No. It always opens the latest version of MyPadi, the same as the website.
