FAQ

What is the PWA Offline plugin used for?
The PWA Offline plugin enables your Bubble app to function like a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing users to install your app on their devices and use it even without an internet connection.

Can users install my Bubble app on their mobile or desktop?
Yes, once your app is configured as a PWA, users can install it on supported devices directly from their browser, just like a native app.

Does this plugin allow offline usage?
Yes, the plugin caches your app’s content so that users can access it offline. However, functionality may be limited to what is stored locally.

How do I prompt users to install the app?
The plugin provides an Install prompt workflow action that you can trigger when appropriate — for example, on page load or after user interaction.

Which browsers and devices are supported?
The plugin is compatible with modern browsers that support PWA standards, such as Chrome, Edge, and Safari (with some limitations on iOS).

Do I need to write code to enable PWA features?
No. All functionality is integrated and configured visually in Bubble’s editor using workflow actions provided by the plugin.

Can I customize the install prompt behavior?
Yes, you can control when and how the prompt appears using Bubble’s workflow system, offering a tailored experience for your users.

What kind of files are cached for offline use?
Typically, static assets like HTML, CSS, JS, and images are cached. Bubble app data updates require internet connectivity unless explicitly handled through local storage or offline-ready design.
