4. Enter the OTP code.
5. You will be asked to add a profile picture and your display name followed by adding any contacts you might have.
Android
To install FYI on your Android device, you will need to make sure your device is supported and you will need a valid phone number. (Note: 32-bit Android devices are not supported).
To check your device's compatibility, open the Google Play Store and search for FYI.me. Under the app's details, press the "About this app" button.
Scroll down to the 'Compatibility for your active devices' section. Next to the field 'Compatibility', the Google Play Store will tell you if FYI works on your device.
If your device is supported:
1. Navigate to the FYI's app page and press 'Install'.
2. Once installed, open FYI.
3. Enter your phone number and you'll receive a text via SMS with an OTP (one-time passcode).
4. Enter the OTP and you will be prompted to enter your account details such as your name and profile picture. If you do not already have an account, you can enter your name and choose a profile picture. If you do already have an account, your information will be autofilled.
5. Next, you will be prompted to add contacts, which you can skip if you'd like.
6. When your encryption key is shown, make sure to save it to your device. You'll need it to log in to FYI on another device, either by scanning or importing it. It's important to save it right away so you don’t lose access.
You can also view and save your encryption key in Settings > Security.
