## Install Orca Mobile

1. Open the [Orca download page](https://www.onorca.dev/download) in Chrome or another full browser and select **Android**.
1. When the download finishes, open your browser's **Downloads** or your device's **Files → Downloads**, then tap `app-release.apk`.
1. Follow Android's installation prompt. If asked, allow only the browser or Files app to install unknown apps, then turn that permission off after Orca is installed.

## Troubleshooting

### The download never starts or never finishes

1. If the link opened inside Discord, GitHub, or another app, choose **Open in browser** / **Open in Chrome**, or copy it into a full browser.
1. Start the [Android download](https://www.onorca.dev/download/started?platform=android) again and wait for it to finish.

### Samsung Galaxy: Auto Blocker

If your Samsung Galaxy says **Auto Blocker** prevented the install, open **Settings → Security and privacy → Auto Blocker**, temporarily turn it off, install Orca, then turn it back on. Do not disable Play Protect.
