The Candy AI app: how to get it on your phone
Updated 17 October 2026
The Candy AI app installs straight from your browser — no App Store or Google Play download. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app, full screen, with notifications for new messages, new features and sales.
iPhone and iPad
- Open Candy AI in Safari.
- Tap the Share button.
- Tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
Android
- Open Candy AI in Chrome.
- Tap the browser menu (the three dots).
- Tap Add to Home Screen or Install app.
Why it isn't in the App Store or Google Play
Apple and Google don't allow apps built around explicit adult content in their stores, so Candy AI — an 18+ platform — is installed from the browser instead. A nice side effect: you always get the latest version, with no updates to download.
What you get in the app
- Your Candy AI account, characters and chats.
- Candy Shorts in a full-screen vertical feed — the format it was made for.
- Notifications for new messages, new features and sales and discounts, which is the easiest way to catch Candy AI's promotions.
Is there a Candy AI APK?
Candy AI's own site doesn't offer an APK or any file download. Files offered elsewhere as a "Candy AI APK" or "modded app" aren't from Candy AI and are best avoided — the home-screen app is the official one. More in is Candy AI safe?
Is the app free?
Yes. Installing it is free and the free plan works in the app exactly as on the web. Premium, from 3.99 a month, unlocks unlimited messages, 18+ image and video generation and every Candy Shorts episode — see prices.
