Candy Shorts on your phone: how to watch in the browser

No app, browser only

Candy AI does not publish a Shorts app. The platform runs as a website, and the player is built for a phone held upright, so you lose nothing by using the browser. Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android both work. Any listing in an app store calling itself Candy Shorts, and any page offering an install file, is a third party and often a route to adverts or worse. The free part is identical in the browser: episode 1 logged out, episode 2 with a free account.

Adding Candy Shorts to your home screen

This is a shortcut to the website, not an app download. It uses no storage beyond the icon.

1. 1
   Open Candy AI in Safari or Chrome and go to the Shorts section.
2. 2
   On iPhone, tap the share icon at the bottom and choose Add to Home Screen. On Android, open the Chrome menu and choose Add to Home screen or Install.
3. 3
   Give the shortcut a name and confirm. An icon appears among your apps.
4. 4
   Open it. The site loads in a near full screen window without the address bar, and your login is kept.

The vertical player, sound and autoplay

Episodes play upright and fill the screen. Swipe up for the next episode, swipe down to go back, tap to pause. Sound usually starts muted because phone browsers block audio until you touch the screen; tap the speaker icon once and it stays on for the session.

Autoplay moves you to the next episode when one ends. When the next episode is locked, the player stops on the sign up or token prompt rather than skipping ahead.

Data use for two minute episodes

Episodes are short, around two minutes, and streamed at a quality that adapts to your connection. On a mobile network a single episode is a modest download, comparable to a couple of minutes of any vertical video app. If you are on a tight plan, watch on Wi-Fi or lower the quality in the player menu where Candy AI offers it. Nothing is stored on the phone.

Common problems and what to check

• Black screen or spinner: check your connection, then reload. Private browsing can block the player's storage; try a normal tab.
• No sound: tap the video once, then check the mute toggle and your phone's silent switch.
• Episode 2 still locked after sign up: confirm the verification email, then reload while logged into the same account.
• Age notice every time: your browser is clearing cookies. Log in and it stops.

Four series that suit a phone screen
