How to install the APK from GitHub

As the Blink wallet is Free Open Source Software the app is published and can be installed from the releases on GitHub. Installing third party apps is only allowed on Android, not on iOS. Follow these steps to install the app from GitHub:

1. Open the link github.com/GaloyMoney/galoy-mobile/releases/latest on your Android phone to download the latest release of the Blink app

2. Scroll down on the page to Assets and choose the app-universal-release.apk for the best compatibility. The app-arm64-v8a-release.apk is smaller but might not work on old devices.

   

3. Confirm with Download anyway and wait for the download to finish

   

4. If you have not set up your browser to install apps from unknown sources yet you will be asked to do so now. Choose SETTINGS and enable Allow from this source

   

5. Carry on with the installation by choosing INSTALL

   

6. Finally OPEN the app when installed

   

7. Similar to all other apps you will find the Blink app in your app drawer or launcher too.
