Cognos on your phone

There's no Cognos app in the app stores yet — and you don't need one. Pin Cognos to your home screen and it opens with one tap, in its own window, just like an app.

1On iPhone or iPad (Safari)

  1. Open Cognos in Safari

    Go to app.cognos.io.

  2. Tap the Share button

    The square with an arrow pointing up, at the bottom of the screen (top right on iPad).

  3. Tap Add to Home Screen

    Scroll down the share sheet if you don't see it straight away.

  4. Tap Add

    The Cognos icon appears on your home screen.

2On Android (Chrome)

  1. Open Cognos in Chrome

    Go to app.cognos.io.

  2. Tap the three-dot menu

    In the top-right corner of the browser.

  3. Tap Add to Home screen

    On some phones this is labelled Install app — both do the same thing.

  4. Confirm with Add

    The Cognos icon appears on your home screen.

3What to expect

Tapping the icon opens Cognos in its own window, without the browser's address bar or tabs. It's the same Cognos as on your computer — your chats, projects and settings are all there, and you always get the latest version without updating anything.
