Wix Mobile Apps: Managing Your App Elements


Each screen of your mobile app (e.g. Spaces by Wix, your own native app) contains different elements, similar to the elements on your site pages. You can add the elements that are most relevant to your business. For example, you can add a service element to show a list of all your services and let your app users book them.


Once you've added the elements, arrange them where users can clearly see and interact with them. You can also choose the specific screen where each element appears or remove elements that are no longer necessary.

Adding an element to your mobile apps


Add an element that suits your business and customize it according to your needs. Elements are organized by category so you can quickly find the one you want.


For example, if you have a store and want to add a gallery of all your products, you can add the product gallery element. Select the element and then directly place it onto the screen where you want it displayed.
