How to Install Secrets AI on iPhone and Android in 2026

Step 1: verify the website before installing anything

Start by checking the domain yourself rather than choosing a similarly named app from a search advertisement.

Type secrets.ai into the browser and inspect the address before signing in. The official installation guide identifies browser installation as its official route and says store lookalikes are unaffiliated. Do not download an APK, configuration profile or extension merely because an advertisement promises easier access.

Expected result: you know which website you are opening and have not purchased a separate app. If you reach an unrelated domain, see a certificate warning, or cannot establish who operates the page, stop. Do not bypass a browser security warning to complete this tutorial. Any age, consent or account terms must be evaluated by the account owner.

Step 2: add Secrets to your iPhone home screen

Open the verified website in Safari, then use Apple's home-screen web-app controls.

Open the page in Safari itself, not inside a messaging or social app. Open Share; on Apple's current Page Menu layout, open that menu first and choose Share. Select Add to Home Screen. If your version offers Open as Web App, enable it, then confirm Add. Apple's web-app instructions document this flow; toolbar layouts can differ.

Expected result: an icon appears on this device. Return to the home screen and launch it once. Do not assume that a successfully created icon proves account recovery, offline chat, native-app distribution or identical session behavior. Those are different questions, and the next step checks only the account you are using.

Step 3: install through Chrome on Android

Use Chrome's website installation option rather than a third-party download.

Open the verified website in Chrome and open the menu beside the address bar. Google's current help describes Install and create shortcut, followed by Install; the provider guide also lists Install app or Add to Home screen. Follow the confirmation shown on your device. Google's Android web-app guide is the platform reference when labels differ.

Expected result: you can locate the installed entry and launch it. Read the confirmation carefully: a shortcut and a browser-installed app are not automatically the same implementation. Keep the browser route available while checking the result. If nothing is created, record the exact browser version and missing menu item instead of repeatedly accepting prompts.

Step 4: check your account before creating new content

Verify the sign-in identity first, then perform one harmless check without a purchase.

Open the icon, inspect the signed-in account and compare the harmless detail noted earlier. If sign-in is required, use your original method. Do not assume an empty screen means your previous content was erased; it could be the wrong account or a session that has not loaded. Do not create another paid subscription to investigate.

Try an ordinary fictional greeting only if the accessible allowance permits it. Expected result: the account and basic interaction are recognizable, or you have a specific error to investigate. Keep private photos, identifying backstories and payment information out of this test. A successful reply establishes neither memory accuracy nor confidentiality.

Step 5: decide about notifications and other permissions

Permission choices should follow your needs, not an installation checklist's pressure to enable everything.

Secrets' guide says iOS push requires iOS 16.4 or later and launching from the installed icon. If you want alerts, check the app's documented notification controls and the device permission. If you do not want them, leave permission denied. Do not enable alerts just to chase a promotion.

Review any microphone, camera, photo or location request separately. The FTC's privacy guidance recommends reviewing permissions and disabling unnecessary access. For a text-only setup test, do not grant unrelated access merely to make a warning disappear. Expected result: you can explain every permission you enabled and know whether alerts would be visible to someone using your phone.

Step 6: troubleshoot a missing install option without deleting data

Check the browser, existing installation and menu first; destructive cleanup is not the first troubleshooting step.

The provider guide notes that an existing installation can hide the install option. Look for the icon before adding another. On iPhone, Apple's instructions let you add a missing home-screen action through Edit Actions in the share list. On Android, compare your menu with the current Chrome help. A managed device may require administrator assistance rather than a workaround.

If the installed view signs into the wrong identity, return to the working browser session and identify the correct account before changing anything. Avoid clearing site data, removing accounts or resetting the phone as an experiment. Expected result: you either complete installation or have the browser, operating-system version and exact symptom needed for official support.

Finish with an access, privacy and billing check

Stop when the icon opens the right account and your permission choices match your needs.

Keep the browser-only route if installation adds no value. Before any upgrade, separately inspect the selected charge, included media, privacy policy and cancellation conditions. Removing a home-screen entry is not evidence that billing has stopped or provider-held data has been deleted. If identity, permissions or the destination remains unclear, leave the setup unfinished and ask official support; paying is not a troubleshooting method.
