  • Android version 8.1 or higher (up to Android 12)
  • 64-bit architecture support
  • At least 1GB of free storage space

Installation Steps

Step 1: Enable Installation from Unknown Sources

If you're installing Twoyi from GitHub or other non-Play Store sources, you'll need to enable installation from unknown sources:

  1. Open your device's Settings
  2. Navigate to Security or Privacy
  3. Enable Install from Unknown Sources or Install Unknown Apps
    • On Android 8.0+, you may need to enable this permission specifically for your browser or file manager

Step 2: Install the APK

  1. Locate the downloaded APK file using your file manager
  2. Tap on the APK file to begin installation
  3. Review the permissions and tap Install
  4. Wait for the installation to complete

Step 3: First Launch

  1. Open Twoyi from your app drawer
  2. Grant the necessary permissions when prompted
    • Storage permission is required for managing files within the container
    • Other permissions may be requested based on your device and Android version
  3. Wait for the initial setup to complete
    • This may take a few minutes as Twoyi extracts and sets up the internal Android system
    • Subsequent launches will be much faster (typically around 3 seconds)
