Safari on iPhone doesn’t show an install button, so the Share menu is the way in. Everything else works the same once it’s on your home screen.
Seeing an Android warning about “an older version of Android” or missing privacy protections? That only appears when installing a downloaded APK file from a third-party app builder — not from Famloop. Install using Chrome’s Install app menu option above and you won’t see it.
