Installing on Android

  1. Open this page on the phoneScan the code above, or type dekhbhaal.app/download, and tap Download for Android.
  2. Keep the fileIf Chrome warns that the file might be harmful, tap Download anyway. It says this for every app from outside the Play Store.
  3. Open itTap the file when it finishes, or find it in Files, under Downloads. Its name starts with "application".
  4. Allow this one installAndroid asks once: tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, and go back. If Play Protect says the app is unknown, tap More details, then Install anyway.
  5. Open DekhbhaalOn your parent's phone, tap I have a code and type the 6 digits from your setup. On your own phone, sign in with Google.
Install Dekhbhaal only from this page. Dekhbhaal never sends an app file on WhatsApp or SMS. An app file from a stranger is one of the commonest scams: it can read messages and OTPs. If someone sends your parent one, it's a scam.

Questions

Will it update itself?

Yes. Improvements arrive on their own, the next time the app is opened. Now and then a bigger change needs the app installed again from this page; this page will say when.

Is it safe to allow installs from Chrome?

The setting lets Chrome install apps you choose. Once Dekhbhaal is installed you can turn it off again: in Settings, search for Install unknown apps, choose Chrome, and switch it off.

When will it be in the Play Store and the App Store?

After the pilot. This page will point there when it is.
