Get Snap Apps on Android — and see what's coming to iPhone
Android is a direct download today, with Google Play to follow. The iPhone app is in active development: this page shows exactly what it will do and how to hear the moment it's ready, rather than a link that doesn't work yet.
Direct APK download
Installed the same way any app was installed on Android before app stores existed — you'll see one extra permission prompt the first time, covered in the steps below. Coming to Google Play once the listing clears review.

The iPhone build is being actively worked on. Apple doesn't allow a public .ipa download in any case — every iOS app reaches phones through Apple's own TestFlight channel first, then the App Store — and we'll open TestFlight here the moment there is a build worth putting in front of people.
Same capture-and-extract pipeline as Android, in an iPhone-native shell.

Installing the APK, step by step
This app doesn't come from the Play Store yet, so Android calls it an app from an "unknown source" — that just means it isn't from a store, not that anything is wrong. Here's exactly what to expect.
- 1
Allow installs from this browser
When the download finishes, Android will warn that it blocks installs from unknown sources. Tap Settings on that warning, then turn on "Allow from this source" for your browser. You only do this once.
- 2
Open the downloaded file
Find "Snap Apps" in your Downloads or notification shade and tap it. Android will show the permissions the app asks for — camera, for photographing receipts — then tap Install.
- 3
(Optional) check the file is exactly what we built
If your file manager can show a file's SHA-256, compare it to the checksum below before installing. They should match exactly. If you don't know how to do this, it's fine to skip — most people do.
What's new
