Download the **app-mainnet-fdroid-universal-release.apk** file.

**Step 3: Clone the App**

Open App Cloner and follow these steps:

* Select **APK files** and tap the **+** button.

* Choose **From a file** and select the **app-mainnet-fdroid-universal-release.apk** file from your downloads folder.

Using monero on android is like using a chipped mug to drink fine wine.

Wrong. GoS is Android, and is the most secure os compared to any other, bar none

It entirely depends on which phone brand you use. Almost every android OS is a proprietary hacked system, most people have no idea how secure their phone is because much of it is not actually open sourced.
