Set Up ZynoDisplay on iPhone & iPad

WebWorkstation

ZynoDisplay runs on iPhone and iPad — handy for a small countertop screen. Install the player from the App Store, register the screen, then stop the device from auto-locking and optionally lock it to the app.

Before You Begin

  • The iPhone or iPad is set up and connected to your network.
  • The device can stay on a charger — a 24/7 screen should not run on battery.
  • You have the Register Device permission in ZynoSuite. See Permissions & Troubleshooting.

1. Install the App

  1. Open the App Store.
  2. Search for ZynoDisplay (this is the player app, separate from the ZynoSuite app).
  3. Tap Get to install.
  4. Open ZynoDisplay once it installs.

2. Register the Screen

On first launch the app shows a 9‑digit registration code. Enter it in ZynoSuite to claim the screen — see Registering a Device. Once registered, the screen pulls down whatever content you assign it.

3. Change These Settings (Keep It Always-On)

Stop the screen locking

  1. Open Settings, then Display & Brightness.
  2. Select Auto-Lock and set it to Never.

Keep the device on a charger so it doesn't shut down.

Guided Access keeps the screen on ZynoDisplay and stops anyone swiping to another app.

  1. Open Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access and turn it On.
  2. Set a Guided Access passcode.
  3. Open ZynoDisplay and triple‑click the side button (or Home button) to start Guided Access.

To exit later, triple‑click again and enter the passcode.

Remote Controls

iPhone and iPad do not support ZynoDisplay's remote device controls. You still get full content control — assigning content, scheduling, and live overrides — from ZynoSuite. See Remote Control & Management.
