Add to Home Screen

Adding Centre County Live to your home screen gives you instant one-tap access and enables real-time push notifications — so you're alerted the moment a new dispatch comes in, even when the site isn't open.

This step isn't optional for push alerts. On iPhone and iPad, Safari only delivers notifications to sites that have been added to the home screen — opening centrecountylive.com in a regular browser tab will never prompt you for permission. On Android, push notifications are also delivered through the installed app, so adding it to your home screen is the reliable way to get alerts there too.

iPhone & iPad (Safari)

1

Open in Safari

Open centrecountylive.com in Safari. This must be Safari — Chrome and other browsers on iOS do not support adding to the home screen.

2

Tap the Share button

Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen — it looks like a box with an arrow pointing upward.

3

Tap "Add to Home Screen"

Scroll down in the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen.

4

Tap "Add"

Tap Add in the top right corner to confirm. Centre County Live will appear on your home screen as an icon.

Android (Chrome)

1

Open in Chrome

Open centrecountylive.com in Chrome.

2

Tap the three-dot menu

Tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of Chrome.

3

Tap "Add to Home Screen"

Tap Add to Home Screen or Install app — the wording varies by device.

4

Tap "Add"

Tap Add to confirm. Centre County Live will appear on your home screen as an icon.

After Setup

Enable Push Notifications

Open Centre County Live from your home screen icon and tap Allow when prompted to enable notifications. Once enabled, you'll receive an alert every time a new dispatch is detected — even when the site isn't open.
