There is no separate headshot app to install

The desk does not authorise any third-party "headshot app" outside the central site. If you have arrived here from a third-party surface that asks you to install an APK or to grant unusual device permissions, the desk's recommendation is to close the surface and verify the URL bar.

The desk does not maintain an APK. The desk does not host the site on a third-party app store. The desk does not require a reader to install anything to read the desks. Any surface that asks the opposite is acting without the desk's authorisation.

For the small number of cases where a reader has installed a third-party surface by mistake, the desk's standard advice is to uninstall, run a security scan and reset any passwords that were entered on the third-party surface. The desk does not collect passwords, so the desk's password reset is not relevant.

The headshot site is built as a single responsive web property. The site works on any modern phone browser without requiring a separate app. The minimum browser versions are the current generation of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Older browsers still load the site but may not render all interactive elements correctly.

The site's CSS uses standard media queries to collapse the editorial layout to a single-column reading flow at widths below 1000px. The site's JavaScript uses standard ES2017 features and the inert attribute. The site's fonts load from the public Google Fonts CDN with a preconnect for performance. The site's images serve from the central headshotin.com domain.

For the cleanest reading experience, the desk recommends a current-generation browser, JavaScript enabled, and a screen width of at least 320px. The site has been tested at 320, 347, 390, and 430px on both iOS Safari and Android Chrome, and at 1024, 1280, 1440, and 1536px on desktop. The desk publishes the verification result on the editorial review page.

The first phone feature the desk uses is the home-screen shortcut. The site is built as a Progressive Web App; the phone's browser offers to add the site to the home screen on first visit. The shortcut opens the site in a dedicated window with the headshot favicon as the icon. The shortcut is offered by the phone, not by the desk, and the desk never asks the reader to install anything separately.

The second phone feature the desk uses is the back button. The site is built as a single-page navigation surface; the back button returns the reader to the previous desk. The site does not trap the reader in a modal flow. The site does not intercept the back button. The site respects the phone's navigation gesture and the phone's back button as a primary navigation tool.

The third phone feature the desk uses is the share button. The site offers a share button on every guide and every newsroom brief. The share button copies a canonical URL to the clipboard. The share button is a standard browser feature. The share button does not require a third-party widget or a third-party script.

The phone feature the desk does not use is the push notification. The desk does not ask the phone for permission to send push notifications. The desk does not maintain a proprietary notification surface. The desk's role is to publish reads; the reader's role is to read on the reader's schedule. The desk's editorial boundary on push notifications is the same as on every other intrusive surface: the desk does not authorise it.
