Start a session from the Hedy app icon
On iPhone, iPad and Android, the Hedy app icon has a shortcut that starts a session in one step. It is useful when a meeting is about to begin and you want Hedy running before you sit down.
Start a session from the icon
- On your home screen, touch and hold the Hedy app icon until a menu appears.
- Choose Start New Session.
Hedy opens and starts a session right away. On iPhone and iPad, the menu also shows the line “Using the same settings as the previous session” under the shortcut.
Requirements and limits
- Open Hedy once first. Hedy adds the shortcut when it starts, so it appears after you have opened the app at least once since installing it.
- The shortcut is in English. It reads Start New Session whatever language your phone and Hedy use.
- One session at a time. If a session is already running or paused, the shortcut does not start a second one.
- Not on Mac, Windows or the web. The Dock icon on Mac and the taskbar icon on Windows have no Hedy shortcut. On a computer, use the menu bar or tray menu instead.
Inside the app, you can also press and hold the Hedy button to start a session with your last settings. See starting, pausing, and ending sessions.
