# Save from Mobile

Save links to Resona from any app on your iPhone or Android device by emailing them to your personal save address.

## How It Works

Every Resona account has a unique email address like `save-xK7mP2nQ@useresona.com`. When you email a URL to this address, it's automatically saved to your library.

On iPhone, you can set up an iOS Shortcut that does this with one tap from the Share menu.

### Alternative: Email

2. Email it to your save address (found in Settings)
3. The article appears in your library within seconds

## Managing Your Save Address

Your save address is unique to your account. You can find it in **Settings** → **Save from mobile**.

| Action         | How                         |
| -------------- | --------------------------- |
| View address   | Settings → Save from mobile |
| Copy address   | Click the Copy button       |
| Change address | Click "Regenerate address"  |

<Warning>
  If you regenerate your address, the old one stops working immediately. You'll need to update your iOS Shortcut with the new address.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why do I need a Shortcut on iOS?">
    Apple doesn't allow web apps to register as share targets. The Shortcut sends an email behind the scenes, giving you the same quick-save experience with one tap.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if I change my save address?">
    Your old address stops working immediately. You'll need to reinstall the Shortcut and enter your new address during setup.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why iOS 15+?">
    iOS 15 introduced the ability for Shortcuts to send emails without showing a confirmation dialog, making the save action feel instant.
