# Set up the Cerby iOS app

{% hint style="info" %}
**Who can use this feature?**

* Workspace **Owners**, **Super Admins**, **Admins**, **Users**, **Login-Only**, and **Guest Users**
* Supported using the **Cerby iOS app** (iOS 18.0 and later)
  {% endhint %}

When you log in to the Cerby iOS app for the first time, you complete a guided onboarding flow. The flow walks you through turning on autofill, setting up a trusted device, turning on biometric unlock, and enabling push notifications. You can select **Maybe later** on any step to skip it.

## Requirements

This procedure requires the following:

* An invitation to a Cerby workspace, sent by your IT admin or workspace Owner
* An iPhone or iPad running iOS 18.0 or later
* The Cerby app installed from the App Store

## Set up the Cerby iOS app

To complete the iOS onboarding flow, complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace using the Cerby iOS app. The onboarding flow starts, and the **Turn on Autofill** page is displayed.
2. Select **Turn on now** to allow Cerby to autofill accounts and passwords for you on mobile websites or apps, or select **Maybe later** to skip this step. The **Set up a trusted device** page is displayed.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Selecting <strong>Turn on now</strong> always opens a prompt to complete autofill setup in your device <strong>Settings</strong> app, under <strong>Passwords > Autofill Passwords</strong>. Select <strong>Open Settings</strong> in the prompt to continue, or select <strong>Cancel</strong> to remain on this step.</p></div>
3. Select **Set up now** to register this device as trusted and strengthen your account security, or select **Maybe later** to skip this step. When setup is complete, the **Turn on biometrics to unlock Cerby** page is displayed.
4. Select **Turn on now** to unlock Cerby with Face ID or Touch ID, or select **Maybe later** to skip this step. The **Enable notifications** page is displayed.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>NOTE:</strong> If your device has no biometrics enrolled, Cerby displays a message and moves to the next step. You can enroll biometrics in your device <strong>Settings</strong> app and return to this setting later from <strong>Profile > Security</strong>.</p></div>
5. Select **Allow notifications** to turn on push notifications for account and MFA activity, or select **Maybe later** to skip this step. The onboarding flow is complete, and the Cerby app home screen is displayed.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>If Cerby cannot turn on notifications directly from the app, it prompts you to complete the change in your device <strong>Settings</strong> app, under <strong>Cerby > Notifications</strong>.</p></div>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/cerby-mobile-app/installation/set-up-the-cerby-ios-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
