# How to configure iOS tablet to run Roombelt

You can easily configure any modern iOS device to run Roombelt in three steps:

1. [#add-roombelt-to-the-home-screen](#add-roombelt-to-the-home-screen "mention")
2. [#configure-ios-to-keep-the-screen-always-on](#configure-ios-to-keep-the-screen-always-on "mention")
3. [#turn-your-device-into-a-kiosk-with-guided-access-optional](#turn-your-device-into-a-kiosk-with-guided-access-optional "mention")

### Add Roombelt to the home screen

After following the steps below, Roombelt will be displayed on the home screen just like a regular application installed with the App Store:

1. In Safari, open <https://app.roombelt.com>.
2. Tap the menu icon <img src="https://help.apple.com/assets/65E21662495F1A6C8701F50A/65E21663EF8273BE1D0C2734/en_US/d26fe35d3438fe81179a80c2b6c9b0c9.png" alt="the Share button" data-size="line"> in the menu bar.
3. Tap the "Add to home screen" option.

At this point, Roombelt should be on your home screen. For details, refer to the [iOS documentation](https://support.apple.com/en-al/guide/iphone/iph42ab2f3a7/ios#iph4f9a47bbc).

### Configure iOS to keep the screen always on

To keep Roombelt visible, your tablet shouldn't lock after a period of inactivity. You can configure your iPad always to keep on as described below:

1. Go to Settings <img src="https://help.apple.com/assets/65E21662495F1A6C8701F50A/65E21663EF8273BE1D0C2734/en_US/88b2400e45bcf521514b7252cbb2d959.png" alt="" data-size="line"> > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock.
2. From the available options, select "Never".

### Turn your device into a kiosk with Guided Access (optional)

Prevent users from messing up with your iPads by leveraging the built-in Guided Access functionality:

1. Go to Settings <img src="https://help.apple.com/assets/65E21662495F1A6C8701F50A/65E21663EF8273BE1D0C2734/en_US/88b2400e45bcf521514b7252cbb2d959.png" alt="" data-size="line"> > Accessibility.
2. Turn on Guided Access.
3. Tap "Passcode Settings" to configure a passcode to leave the Guided Access.
4. Open Roombelt from the iOS home screen.&#x20;
5. Triple-click one of the following:

   The Home button (on an iPad with a Home button),

   The top button (on other iPad models).
6. Tap "Start".
