Watching Candy Shorts on iPhone and Android

A tab, not an app

Search either app store for Candy Shorts and you will find nothing official. Any listing that claims otherwise is not Candy AI's player. The real thing is a website, and it runs in Safari on an iPhone and in Chrome (or Samsung Internet, Firefox, Edge) on Android.

That is good news in one way: nothing to download, nothing to update, and no storage taken. Whatever phone you own, if its browser is reasonably recent, you are set. The same login then follows you to a computer if you want a bigger screen later.

From a blank phone to episode 1

1. 1
   Open your browser and go to Candy AI.
2. 2
   Confirm your age when the site asks; Candy Shorts are for adults.
3. 3
   Tap Shorts in the menu and scroll the catalog to a series that suits you.
4. 4
   Press play on episode 1. It needs no account.
5. 5
   For episode 2, create a free Candy AI account and log in.

Portrait player and a home-screen shortcut

The vertical format means no black bars: hold the phone upright and the video fills the screen. Turning it sideways does not make the picture bigger, so stay in portrait. If the browser bar eats space, scroll slightly and it usually tucks away.

Brightness and a pair of earphones make a difference, since the soundtrack carries a lot of the mood in a one-minute episode. If you watch in bed or on a train, headphones also keep the sound to yourself.

In Safari, use the share button and pick Add to Home Screen. In Chrome on Android, open the menu and choose Add to Home screen or Install. You get an icon that opens Candy AI in one tap. It is still the website underneath, not a separate Candy Shorts app.

Remember that a shortcut is only a bookmark with an icon. Log in once in the browser and the shortcut will remember you.

Sound, autoplay and data

Phones often start videos muted, so tap the speaker icon if you hear nothing and check the silent switch on an iPhone. Autoplay rules differ by browser, so you may need to tap play yourself. Episodes last one to two minutes, so they are light on mobile data, but on a limited plan Wi-Fi is the safer choice.

If a video plays silently even after unmuting, raise the media volume with the side buttons while the video is on screen. On Android the browser sometimes has its own site-level sound setting too.

When a video will not start

• Reload the page and try again.
• Switch browser: Chrome if you used Safari, or the other way round.
• Turn off content blockers or low data mode for Candy AI.
• Log out and back in if episode 2 stays locked.
• Update the browser if the player shows a blank rectangle.
