Mobile App Settings

The Mobile App Settings page lets you configure the navigation tabs that appear in the B1.church mobile experience (PWA) for your church members. You control which tabs are visible, what they link to, and how they are displayed.

The native B1 Mobile app is deprecated

Tabs configured here are delivered through the B1.church Progressive Web App (PWA), which has replaced the native B1 Mobile app. Members can install the PWA on their home screen from any page on https://yourchurchname.b1.church instead of downloading the legacy app from the App Store or Google Play.

Before You Begin

  • You need the "Edit Church Settings" permission. See Roles & Permissions if you do not have access.
  • Configure your Church Settings first, including your church name and branding

Accessing Mobile App Settings​

  1. Navigate to the Settings page in the left sidebar.
  2. Click the Mobile Apps button in the header.
  3. The Mobile App Settings page displays your current app tabs.

Adding a New Tab​

  1. Click the Add Tab button at the top of the page.
  2. Fill in the tab details:
    • Name -- The label that appears on the tab (for example, "Sermons" or "Give").
    • Icon -- Click the icon selector to choose an icon for your tab. You can also upload a custom image.
    • Tab Type -- Select from options like Bible, Live Stream, Donation, Website, and more.
    • URL -- Enter the web address the tab should link to.
    • Visibility -- Control who can see this tab (everyone, members only, etc.).
  3. Click Save Tab to add it to your app.

Editing an Existing Tab​

  1. Click on any existing tab in the App Tabs list.
  2. Update the tab's name, icon, URL, type, or visibility settings.
  3. Click Save Tab to apply your changes.

Reordering Tabs​

You can change the order in which tabs appear in the mobile app. Drag and drop tabs in the list to rearrange them. The order shown on this page matches the order your members will see in the app.

info

Some tabs may appear automatically when certain conditions are met -- for example, a Live Stream tab may show up when a stream is active. Manually added tabs give you full control over what your members see at all times.

tip

Keep your tab count manageable. Three to five tabs works well for most churches. Too many tabs can make navigation confusing for your members.

Where These Tabs Appear​

The tabs you configure here are displayed in the B1.church PWA that your members install from any page on https://yourchurchname.b1.church. Changes you make on this page are reflected the next time a member opens the app. (Tabs are also rendered by the legacy B1 Mobile native app for any members still running it, but that app is deprecated and no longer being updated.)
