How to Download the Helperbird App on iPad

Helperbird on iPad comes from the App Store as an app that carries a Safari extension.

The install is the same one an iPhone user follows. What differs on an iPad is who is allowed to install it, and where Helperbird turns up in Safari.

Install It from the App Store

One listing, Helperbird for Safari, covers iPad and iPhone. Open Helperbird for Safari in the App Store (opens in a new tab) and tap Get. Your iPad needs iPadOS 15.0 or later.

For the install screen by screen, and for what the app does once it is on your home screen, read how to download Helperbird for iPhone.

If Someone Else Manages the iPad

In most setups they cannot switch the Safari extension on from there, so someone still has to turn it on from Settings on the iPad itself.

A child's iPad. Screen Time restrictions can block the App Store install before it starts: installing with Screen Time on.

A Pro key from a school. A key cannot be pushed to an iPad the way it can to Chrome, Edge and Firefox, so somebody enters it on each iPad in Helperbird's settings in Safari: how to unlock Helperbird Pro.

Where Helperbird Appears on iPad

Nothing shows up in Safari until the extension is switched on in the Settings app. Follow how to enable Helperbird in Safari.

Then open Safari on any page, tap the puzzle piece icon in the address bar, and tap Helperbird. On iPhone the same menu sits behind the aA button.
