==Installation==
 
By default, your Android operating system will not allow the direct download of programs that are not from Google Play, as this can be insecure. You have the option to override this setting—temporarily if you decide—to download the mobile beta application directly from xat's servers.
 
# On your phone, go to Settings > Security. Tap the option to allow installation of applications from unknown sources. Do this before you download the mobile application from xat.
# Navigate to the direct download link (posted at the top of this article) on your mobile browser.
# Upon tapping the link to download, the application should be installed automatically. If not, find your downloads folder and install it.
