Set up Candy AI on your Android home screen

Open Candy AI in your Android browser, then add a home-screen icon if you want one. You can follow this setup without sideloading an APK or changing your phone's app-security settings.

In this article

Create the shortcut from the browser menu

Return with your existing account when you open the icon. This is another entrance to the web service, not a separate subscription or a new account.

  1. Visit our website using the browser on your Android phone.
  2. Tap the browser's three-dot menu to open its options.
  3. Select Add to Home Screen, or use that browser's supported install command.
  4. Confirm that you want the shortcut, then launch it from your home screen.

Allow only the device access you need

Leave the microphone and camera off when you only want to read text chat. Microphone access may be needed for a supported voice call; notification permissions are a separate choice on your device.

For a blocked permission, inspect both this website's permissions and the browser's settings in Android. Enable the specific permission for the action you chose, without granting unrelated access.

Compare a shortcut problem with browser access

Open the account directly in your browser and try the same character or action. This helps distinguish a missing shortcut from a problem with account access or a particular feature.

Record any local saved choices you still need before clearing site data or adding the shortcut again. Browser cleanup can remove that list, but it does not cancel your subscription.

Questions and answers

Do I need to find an APK before using Candy AI?

Start in your Android browser instead. Its Add to Home Screen or supported Install option opens the web app without an APK download.

Can a modified Android package give me Premium access?

We do not supply mod packages for subscriptions. Manage membership through your account, and do not treat an unofficial package's claim as valid paid access.

Will removing the Android icon stop future charges?

Removing an icon only changes your phone. To stop renewal, open the subscribed account and complete cancellation in its settings.

Does the Android home-screen app work offline?

The shortcut opens our web app, so chat and generation still need an internet connection. It does not install an AI model on the phone. A character bookmark stored in the browser is separate from an online conversation.
