- Email only vs social login
Manage how users create accounts and access your app. Choose between visitor mode, which allows users to explore your app before signing up, and member mode, which requires users to log in immediately. Decide how users sign up: email only or using social login options like Google or Apple. If you choose email signups, you can add a custom form to collect additional information.
Visitor mode vs member mode
Your native mobile app's login screen offers two modes: visitor mode and member mode. The selected mode determines whether non-member visitors can access your app without signing up.
Visitor mode is mandatory for certain types of businesses under Apple's data collection and storage guidelines. If your business is a restaurant, includes an e-commerce component, such as an online store, or features a blog, you must enable visitor mode.
