No app, just the browser
Search the App Store or Google Play for Candy Shorts and you will find nothing official. The series live in the Shorts section of Candy AI, reached through your browser. Held upright, an episode fills the screen, which is the format the series were made for. A computer browser works too, but the phone is where most people watch.
Use the browser you already have: Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, or any other modern one. Keep it updated, since old versions are the usual cause of playback trouble.
Add Candy AI to your home screen
A shortcut gives you one-tap access, close to an app, without leaving the browser engine behind it. Menu wording changes with your system version, so look for the closest label.
- On iPhone, open Candy AI in Safari and tap the Share button.
- Choose Add to Home Screen, name it and confirm.
- On Android, open Candy AI in Chrome and tap the three-dot menu.
- Choose Add to Home screen (or Install app, if offered) and confirm.
Data and sound
A preview on this site is under 1 MB, light enough for mobile data. An episode on Candy AI streams more, so switch to Wi-Fi if your plan is tight.
Our previews autoplay muted when they scroll into view, which is why they never surprise you on a train. Sound comes on in episode 1 on Candy AI: raise your volume, check the silent switch on iPhone and use the player's sound control if it starts muted. Private browsing works for watching, but it may ask you to log in again, and it can break the age check or the free account step, so use a normal tab for those.
Battery matters too. Vertical video at full brightness drains a phone faster than it seems, and a 60-second episode is nothing, but a 30-episode marathon is not. Plug in before a long session. Headphones help as well, since the soundtrack and the voices are part of what a silent preview leaves out.
Finally, keep the page you started from. Our previews are light, they sit one tap from Candy AI, and you can come back to the same clip when you want to compare it with the next one. That habit keeps your phone tidy, your data low and your choices clear.
Common problems
Quick fixes:
- The clip stays still: scroll it fully into view and tap once.
- No sound: check the volume, the silent switch and the player.
- The page reloads in a loop: leave private browsing and allow cookies.
- Episode 2 locked: create a free account, then reopen the series.
- Playback stutters: move to Wi-Fi or close other tabs.
- The shortcut opens the wrong page: delete it and add it again from the Shorts section.
Next steps
Once the shortcut is set, try a clip from the previews hub and read the episode 1 guide for the free path. Costs are on the pricing page, and the free page lists what costs nothing. For a first clip, My Roommate's Girlfriend is short and easy to test.
If you only want to sample, stay with our previews: they use almost no data, and you can pick which series deserve a full episode before you stream anything.
