Installation & Setup Guide for Loom

Make Loom work perfectly

To ensure Loom works perfectly, especially for call notifications and running in the background, follow these steps exactly.

1

Step 1: Install the App

Download and install the Loom APK on your Android device.

  • Download the Loom APK file to your device.
  • Tap the file to begin installation.
  • If prompted, allow installation from "Unknown Sources" or "This Source" in your browser or file manager settings.
  • Tap Install and wait for the process to finish.
2

Step 2: Enable Display Over Other Apps

This is required so you can see incoming call screens and alerts even when you are using another app.

  • Open your phone's Settings.
  • Go to Apps or App Management.
  • Find and tap on Loom.
  • Scroll down and look for Display over other apps, sometimes called Appear on top.
  • Switch the toggle to Allowed or On.
3

Step 3: Set Battery to Unrestricted

By default, phones may stop apps to save battery. This helps you avoid missing messages or calls.

  • Open the Loom app info page from Settings > Apps > Loom.
  • Tap Battery or Battery Usage.
  • Select Unrestricted instead of Optimized or Restricted.
4

Step 4: Grant Permissions

When you open Loom for the first time, tap Allow for the permissions the app needs.

  • Microphone: needed for voice messages and calls.
  • Camera: needed for video calls and sending photos.
  • Notifications: crucial for receiving alerts for new messages.
  • Storage/Media: needed to send and save images or videos.
5

Step 5: Disable Data Saver

Optional but recommended. If Data Saver is enabled, Loom may struggle to receive messages in the background.

  • Open App Info > Mobile Data & Wi-Fi.
  • Enable Unrestricted data usage.

APK Upload Guide

How to upload your APK

The download button is already connected to this path:

public/downloads/loom.apk

1. Build or get your APK

Export a signed release APK from Android Studio or your app build system. Name it loom.apk for the easiest setup.

2. Place it in the website folder

Copy the APK file into public/downloads/loom.apk inside this project.

3. Test locally

Run npm.cmd run dev, open /download, and click Download APK. The browser should download loom.apk.

4. Deploy the website

When you deploy to Vercel, Netlify, or another host, everything inside public is served from the site root, so /downloads/loom.apk becomes the public APK link.

Security

Install Safely

  • Only download Loom from this official website.
  • Use a signed release APK before public launch.
  • Do not share private signing keys or keystore files.
  • Keep version numbers updated on every APK release.
