Users don’t enjoy being asked to create a new account with a username and password when prompted on a website or mobile app. In fact, many will abandon the registration process on your website or app when this obstacle is encountered. And this is exactly where Social Login functionality helps.
This powerful plugin is a user-friendly alternative that allows users to sign into your native app seamlessly using their existing login credentials from popular identity providers Facebook Login, Google Sign-in, and Sign in with Apple. Median’s Social Login plugin implements the native iOS and Android vendor SDKs, providing a full-feature native app login experience for your users. If a user is already signed in on their device, your app will automatically access their logged in profiles and offer a single-tap experience. This makes for fast, frictionless registration and login processes which will improve your app’s sign-up conversion rates and engagement.
What’s more, Social Login gives you access to more accurate user profile information that has already been verified by these third-party platforms. This can help you avoid gathering fake email addresses that some users might otherwise use to register.
Looking to get more out of registrations and provide a better experience for your app users? Take the next step in improving user engagement and satisfaction by integrating Social Login into your native app.
Improve your registration experience:
Reduce the friction of creating new accounts by enabling users to sign into your app using their existing account and a single tap.
Learn more about your users:
Reduce fake users and bounced emails, and gather genuine user information that was verified by established identity providers.
Make it easy to come back:
Improve app engagement by letting returning users log into your app with just a single tap.
Comply with App Store guidelines:
Apple mandates that apps that support any identity provider must also support Sign-in with Apple — Median has you covered!
When your users are viewing your website through your native app, the login process must be facilitated through the respective native SDKs rather than within the webview. So, you’ll need to modify your website to use Median’s Social Login Native Plugin when your site is displayed through your native apps, rather than calling the standard web functions.

Assuming you have already implemented the supported Social Login identity providers on your website, you have either deployed API endpoints on your server or defined JavaScript callback functions on your website. The Median Social Login Native Plugin utilizes these same endpoints or functions to transition the login between the native app and your webview. You can find sample JavaScript codes in our documentation.
Social Login prioritizes user security by relying on the recommended implementation guidelines of the identity providers. This ensures that sensitive login information remains secure and protected.
The plugin supports login experience for end users using any combination of Facebook Login, Google Sign-in, and Sign in with Apple. These widely used platforms offer a seamless and familiar login experience for your users. Note that if you support any social login provider Apple requires you must also support Sign-in with Apple. See the Sign-In with Apple guidelines here.
Setting up Social Login is straightforward and user-friendly. The plugin comes with clear documentation and step-by-step instructions to guide you through the integration process. Additionally, our experts are here to help you with any questions or issues that you might face throughout the process.
