Install the app
Install the MinAuctions app on iPhone
The MinAuctions app is not distributed through the App Store. It installs directly from our website in less than a minute: no download from a store, nothing to pay, and it always stays automatically up to date.
Once installed you open MinAuctions like any other app, in full screen and without the browser bars — perfect for following live auctions, watching lots and bidding quickly.
What you need: an iPhone or iPad with Safari (iOS 13 or later). On iPhone the “Add to Home Screen” function is available in Safari, so open the site with Safari and not with another browser.
Using an Android phone or tablet? Follow the Android installation guide instead.
Open minauctions.com in Safari
Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad and type www.minauctions.com in the address bar, then load the page.
Tap the Share button
At the bottom of the screen, tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up. On iPad it is at the top right.
Tap “Add to Home Screen”
In the share sheet, scroll down until you find the row Add to Home Screen and tap it.
Confirm with “Add”
A screen appears with the MinAuctions icon and name — you can leave the name as it is. Tap Add in the top right corner.
Open the app from your Home Screen
The MinAuctions icon now appears on your Home Screen. Tap it: the site opens full screen like a native app, without the Safari bars.
Good to know
- The app is free and updates itself automatically: you never have to reinstall it.
- You sign in with the same account you use on the website — your bids, watchlist and won lots are always in sync.
- To remove it, long-press the icon and choose Delete App (or Remove from Home Screen).
- On iPhone the installation must be done with Safari; other browsers such as Chrome on iOS do not offer “Add to Home Screen”.
