Use Candy AI on your Android phone
You can use Candy AI from the browser on your Android phone and add a shortcut from there. This setup does not involve sideloading an APK or adjusting your phone's application-security protections.

Add the icon using Android's browser options
When the icon opens, use the account you already have to continue an existing interaction. You are accessing the same web service, not registering again or starting an additional subscription.
- Open our website in the browser you use on your Android phone.
- Expand the browser options with its three-dot menu.
- Choose Add to Home Screen, or the supported install option available in that browser.
- Approve the shortcut, then open the new home-screen icon.
Check a package's origin before trusting its claims
For this Android setup, go through the browser rather than an APK download. Neither a Premium label nor a recognisable logo or older version number establishes that a package came from us.
We do not distribute modified packages to provide paid-plan access. Manage membership in your account, and do not enter your credentials into an unfamiliar app on the strength of an unrestricted-access claim.
Match permissions to the action you want
Text-chat reading does not need camera or microphone access. A call may require the microphone when that voice feature is supported, while receiving notifications involves a separate permission choice on the device.
If access to a permission is blocked, review the website's permissions and the browser's Android settings. Turn on only what the feature you intend to use actually needs.
Find out whether the issue is the icon or the account
Try the same character and action after opening your account directly in the browser. A missing home-screen icon is a different problem from account eligibility or a feature that is unavailable to you.
Before removing site data or setting up the shortcut again, note the local choices you want to keep. That cleanup may erase saved characters, but it does not end subscription renewal.
Your questions
Is downloading an APK part of Android setup?
No APK is needed for the browser route. Open Candy AI on Android and use Add to Home Screen or the browser's supported Install command.
Is a mod package an accepted way to get Premium?
We do not offer modified Android packages for paid access. Use the membership options in your account; an unofficial app's promise does not establish subscription rights.
What happens to renewal if I delete the Android shortcut?
Deleting the icon changes your device, not the subscription. Open the account with the paid plan and complete its cancellation steps if you want renewal to stop.
Can the Android shortcut replace an online connection?
The icon returns you to the web app, where conversations and generation require internet access. It does not place an AI model on your phone. A locally stored character bookmark is not an offline conversation.
