Messages that arrive instantly.
YukiChat for Android stays connected in the background, so messages and calls reach you within a second — even when the app is closed.
On iPhone? The Android app won't install on iOS — open yukichat.lol in Safari and tap Share → Add to Home Screen instead.
You're already using the app (version ). Updates install automatically from inside YukiChat.
Everything the web app does, plus what only a phone can.
It runs the same YukiChat you know, so every improvement shows up immediately — with native superpowers on top.
Instant notifications
A live connection to the server delivers messages in about a second — no waiting for a phone to wake up and check.
Calls that ring
Incoming calls light up your lock screen like a real phone call, with Answer and Decline right there.
Reply from notifications
Answer group chats without opening the app, or mark a conversation as read in one tap.
Albums & 2 GB files
Send up to 10 photos and videos at once, or files of up to 2 GB — straight from your gallery, camera or any app.
Share into YukiChat
Hit Share in any app — photos, documents, links — and pick YukiChat. Downloads go straight to your Downloads folder.
Updates itself
New versions are offered inside the app. One tap to update — no need to come back here.
Three steps, no Play Store needed.
YukiChat is installed directly from our server, so Android asks you once to allow installing it.
Download the app
Tap Download for Android. If your browser warns that the file might be harmful, choose Download anyway — it says that about every app outside the Play Store.
Allow the install
Open the downloaded file. Android will ask to let your browser install apps — turn on Allow from this source, go back, then tap Install.
Sign in & allow notifications
Log in with your YukiChat account, allow notifications, and let it run in the background so messages arrive instantly.
What it asks for, and why.
Every permission is asked only when it's actually needed, and you can change them anytime in Android settings.
Signed, and checkable.
SHA-256 fingerprint
Every release is signed with YukiChat's own key, so only genuine updates can install over it. You can also compare this checksum with the file you downloaded.

Good to know
Why isn't it on Google Play?
YukiChat runs on its own server and ships updates the moment they're ready. Installing from yukichat.lol keeps it that way — the app checks for new versions and updates itself.
Why is there a "YukiChat is connected" notification?
Android requires apps that stay connected in the background to show one. It's silent and you can hide it: long-press it → turn off Background connection. Messages keep arriving either way.
Will my friends see me as "online" all the time?
No. The background connection only receives messages — you show as online only while you actually have YukiChat open.
Are my private messages still encrypted?
Yes. Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted in the app exactly like on the web. That's also why notifications for encrypted messages can say "🔒 New message" until you open the chat.
Do I need a new account?
No — sign in with the same YukiChat account you use on the web. Your chats, stickers and settings are all there.
