Getting set up for live-meet alerts takes three steps: add Plifto to your phone, follow the lifters you care about, and turn on notifications.

Install Plifto on your phone

Plifto runs as an app you add to your home screen — there is no app store to visit. Once it is on your home screen it opens full-screen like any app, and it is the only way to receive notifications on iPhone.

iPhone & iPad (Safari)

  1. Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up. It is in Safari's toolbar (along the bottom on iPhone, along the top on iPad).
  2. Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen.
  3. Tap Add in the top-right corner. The Plifto icon appears on your home screen.
  4. Open Plifto from that home-screen icon from now on — notifications only work when it is launched this way.

Plifto must be open in Safari for this — Chrome and other browsers on iPhone cannot add it to the home screen.

Android (Chrome)

  1. When the Install Plifto button appears at the bottom of the screen, tap it.
  2. Not seeing it? Open Chrome's menu (, top right) and tap Install app or Add to Home screen.
  3. Confirm, and Plifto installs to your home screen like any other app.

Turn on live-meet alerts

Alerts ping you when a lifter you follow is up next or gets a result at a broadcast meet. They need three things in place:

  1. Install Plifto (above). On iPhone this is required before notifications can be enabled at all.
  2. Sign in — alerts are tied to your account and the lifters you follow.
  3. Follow at least one lifter (see below).
  4. Tap Turn on alerts when Plifto offers it, or go to Settings, and allow notifications when your phone asks.

Follow lifters

Search for a lifter, open their profile, and tap Follow. The lifters you follow drive both your live-meet alerts and what shows up on your dashboard.
