Installing Brave on Android

The two officially-supported ways to install Brave on Android is through Google Play and our F-Droid repositories.

Here are instructions on how to add our repositories to the F-Droid app:

• Release channel
• Beta channel
• Nightly channel

Alternatives

F-Droid users who prefer not to add a third-party repository can install Brave using the community-supported FFUpdater app.

Development

Development builds are available as GitHub release assets.

There are different apks for different CPU architectures. Most modern tablets, smartphones are arm64 and should use Bravearm64Universal.apk

• x86 - BraveMonox86.apk
  
• x86_64 - BraveMonox64.apk
  
• arm32 - BraveMonoarm.apk(that apk should be picked for Android 8, 8.1 devices even if they are arm64. arm64 builds use optimization techniques that are not available on Android OS 8 and 8.1)
  
• arm64 - Bravearm64Universal.apk
  There is another apk that could be used for arm64 BraveMonoarm64.apk but it contains both 32 bits and 64 bits libraries inside and been used on old arm devices. Modern arm64 should use Bravearm64Universal.apk
