Know which app you are obtaining
The SpicyChat Android APK comes through our website. Google Play instead carries the linked companion named PixelChat. These are not two interchangeable listings for the same download, and you should check each one's feature availability.
There is no native SpicyChat iOS app currently offered in the App Store. Describing an APK as an iPhone download does not make it compatible: APK packages are for Android.
Web and Android updates are separate. When checking an older version, record whether you use the browser or an installed package. An outdated Android build can cause sign-in failures or a queue with no counter. Check for the current official update before reinstalling, and retain local character drafts before clearing app data or removing the app.
Bring the right sign-in details to a new device
Before switching devices, identify the sign-in method used for your account. If you created it with Discord, choose Discord again. Requesting an email code for that account's address can create another account rather than open the Discord-created one.
Make sure you can return to the account before clearing app or browser data, and keep unfinished local work separately if possible. An empty history or missing subscription on a new device is a reason to check our account and conversation-history help, not to assume the original content was erased.
Questions
What should I use for SpicyChat on my phone or tablet?
Android users can obtain our official APK. For iPhone and iPad, open the website and optionally add it to the home screen. PixelChat is the separately named companion available through Google Play.
Does desktop access need an emulator or streaming service?
No. You can use SpicyChat directly in a desktop browser. Ordinary website access does not require an Android emulator, now.gg or another streaming service.
