# Install ReconnectX on Android — Standalone APK Setup

> Set up the standalone ReconnectX APK on your Android device in minutes. No Termux required — just download the APK, install, and log in.

The ReconnectX Android app is a standalone APK that lets you run Roblox automation directly from your Android device without any terminal or package manager. Once installed and logged in, your device appears in your Reconnect dashboard and starts working immediately.

<Note>
  This guide covers the **standalone APK** installation. If you prefer a terminal-based setup, see [Install on Android (Termux)](/getting-started/installation-termux) instead.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

* Android **8.0 or higher**
* An active **Reconnect subscription**
* A Reconnect account at [app.reconnect-tool.com](https://app.reconnect-tool.com)

## Installation

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the APK">
    Join the Reconnect Discord server at [discord.gg/reconnect](https://discord.gg/reconnect) and download the latest APK from the link pinned in the **#download** channel.

    <Warning>
      Only download ReconnectX from the official **#download** channel on the Reconnect Discord server or from a link shared directly by the Reconnect team. Do not install APKs from third-party sites.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Allow installation from unknown sources">
    Because ReconnectX is distributed outside the Google Play Store, Android requires you to permit installations from unknown sources.

    When you tap the downloaded file, Android will prompt you to allow installation from that app. If no prompt appears, go to:

    **Settings → Apps → tap your browser or file manager → enable "Install Unknown Apps"**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the APK">
    Tap the downloaded `.apk` file and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. The process takes only a few seconds.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in to ReconnectX">
    Open the **ReconnectX** app and sign in with your Reconnect account credentials. Once authenticated, your device registers automatically.

    <Check>
      Your device should appear as **Online** in your Reconnect dashboard within 10–15 seconds.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Updating ReconnectX

When a new version is released, the updated APK is posted in the **#download** channel on Discord. Download the new file and install it directly over your existing installation — your settings and account information are preserved automatically.

## Keeping ReconnectX Running in the Background

Android's battery optimization can kill background apps, including ReconnectX. To prevent this, disable battery optimization for the app:

**Settings → Apps → ReconnectX → Battery → Unrestricted**

<Note>
  On some devices (particularly Huawei, Xiaomi, and OPPO), the setting is located under:

  **Battery → App Launch → set ReconnectX to Manual**, then enable all three toggles:

  * Auto-launch
  * Secondary launch
  * Run in background
