# Android and iOS The Android and iOS apps share the desktop app's engine, so a library, its watch history and its settings behave the same everywhere. This page covers what is different on a phone, a tablet and a TV. [Installation](INSTALL.md) explains how to install each one.

## Adding a share Tap **Add share** on the **Shares** tab, paste the link, and add a custom password if the link has one. The app checks the link before it saves it. - **Android:** you can also share a link to the app from your browser or a chat app, or open a `drive.proton.me/urls/…` link directly if you allow the app to open supported links in the system settings. - **iOS:** there is no share sheet. Copy the link, then tap **Paste link** in the dialog. Folders of your own Drive work as on the desktop: sign in on the **Shares** tab, then **Add from your Drive**. See [Account and sync](ACCOUNT_AND_SYNC.md). ## The player - Tap to show or hide the controls. - **Double-tap** the left or right third of the screen to go back or forward 10 seconds. Double-tap the middle to pause. - **Swipe** up and down on the left half for brightness and on the right half for volume. Swipe sideways to seek: the bubble shows where you will land, and the seek happens when you let go. Swipes that start at the very top or bottom of the screen are left to the system. - The menu has **Episodes**, **Chapters**, **Playback speed**, the audio and subtitle tracks, **Lock to landscape**, **Sleep timer** and **Lock touch**. - **Sleep timer** pauses after 30 or 60 minutes, or stops at the end of this episode instead of going on to the next. It keeps running with the screen off. - **Lock touch** makes the picture ignore touches, for a phone in a pocket or a child's hands. Tap to bring up **Unlock**. - **Skip opening** and **Skip ending** work as on the desktop, AniSkip included: see [The player](USER_GUIDE.md#the-player). - Sound keeps playing with the screen off or the app in the background, with controls on the lock screen. Turn off **Background audio** in Settings to stop that. Picture-in-Picture is not available on either platform. ## Android TV The app appears in the TV launcher. With the controls hidden: | Remote | Does | |---|---| | Left / right | Back or forward 10 seconds | | Centre, up or down | Show the controls | | Play/pause | Pause and play | There is no separate TV layout yet, and the app has not been tested on a real TV. Reports are welcome. ## Downloads Download an episode, a season or a show from its title page, and play it from the **Downloads** tab without a connection. - **Android** waits for Wi-Fi unless you turn off **Download on Wi-Fi only**. Downloads continue with the app closed. - **iOS** downloads only while the app is open, and for the short time iOS allows after you leave it. A stopped download resumes where it stopped. **Delete all offline episodes** in Settings frees the space in one step. ## New episodes When a share gains episodes of a show, the app sends a notification. - **Android** checks about every 6 hours, when the device has a network and the battery is not low. Turn it off with **New episode notifications** in Settings. - **iOS** asks the system to check every 6 hours or so; iOS decides when it actually runs. ## Where your secrets are kept - **Android:** in the app's private storage, encrypted with a key in the Android Keystore. If you change or remove the device's screen lock, Android may delete that key. The app then asks you to **Re-enter link** for each share. - **iOS:** in the Keychain, only on this device, and not in backups. ## Requirements - **Android 12** or newer, on an arm64 or x86_64 device. 32-bit devices are not supported. - **iOS 17** or newer, on iPhone or iPad.
