Enc Chat for Android
For Android phones and tablets
You are on a computer. This file is for a phone: open this page on your phone, or move the file to it and open it there.
Choose a version for your phone
The button above works on any phone. These are smaller builds for one kind of processor; pick the wrong one and it will refuse to install, so only use them if you know which you need.
Install it
- Open the file. Tap Download for Android, then open the file when the download finishes.
- Allow the install, once. Android asks before installing a file that did not come from a store. If it says that app is not allowed to install other apps, tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, and go back.
- Install and open. Tap Install, then Open.
- Create your account. Tap Get started to choose a username and a password, or I already have an account to sign in.
- Write down the recovery code. It is shown once, and it is the only way back into your account if you forget your password.
Updates after this arrive inside the app itself.
Using a computer as well? Once the phone is set up, the Windows and Linux versions link to it.
Checking you got the real file
You do not have to do any of this to use the app. It is here so that a careful person can prove the file arrived intact.

shasum -a 256 on a Mac, or Get-FileHash in Windows
PowerShell, prints the same value for a file that was not tampered with.
Android signing certificate
Every genuine build is signed by the same key, and Android
refuses to install an update signed by a different one. Running
apksigner verify --print-certs on the downloaded file should
print this SHA-256 fingerprint.
