I recently replaced my Samsung S21 FE 5G cell phone with a Google Pixel 10 Pro. I got all of my Apps ported over and installed on the new Pixel 10, included the Blue Iris App and I am running UI3 on the Chrome browser (as I did on the older phone). I also created a standalone shortcut icon for the UI3 website by using the Add to Home Screen Chrome option (again same as old phone). With the old phone S21 when UI3 was invoked via the shortcut, there is no Chrome address bar on the window thus making more of the screen available for UI3. With the new Pixel 10 phone there is no option (that I am aware-of) to hide the Chrome address bar, thus I lose about 30% of the screen space, making UI3 much smaller and harder to operate.
Anyone using a Pixel 10 or other Android phone that has solved this problem of wasteful Chrome address bar when using UI3 ?
That is probably a "security feature". You probably need to set up HTTPS and be connected with that before you add UI3 to the home screen. I'm not sure if you will need a trusted certificate (like from LetsEncrypt) or if you can get away with a self-signed one.
You can set up HTTPS through Blue Iris natively if you're running Blue Iris 6, although it will not help you with automating a LetsEncrypt certificate. Otherwise you will need to set up a reverse proxy server to handle HTTPS.
Thanks for your reply bp2008. I do have a couple of other websites (not related to Blue Iris) with https: url's, that I visit often and have setup shortcuts on my Pixel 10. These also show the address bar at the top of the Chrome window, so I'm not sure that using https will fix this. Just curious, do you have a cell phone you use to access Blue Iris via UI3 and if so does your browser not show the address bar?
