Installing Happ on Android: Step-by-Step Guide
Happ for Android is a standalone app built on Xray-core that connects to a server using an access key from the Telegram bot. Here's the full process from download to first connection.
Step 1. Download the Happ app
Go to the Android download page and install the file on your phone or tablet. Make sure you're grabbing the Android build specifically — it's different from the iPhone or desktop versions.
Step 2. Get an access key from the Telegram bot
Open the service's Telegram bot and request an access key or subscription link. The bot will send a text string and usually a QR code as well — both work for Android.
Step 3. Add the key to the app
In Happ on Android, open the add-subscription section, paste the copied link, or scan the QR code with the in-app camera. A working connection profile will then appear in the list, ready to be turned on.
Step 4. Pick a server and connect
After adding the key, Happ usually shows a list of available servers. Choose the nearest or fastest one and start the connection with a single tap. On first launch Android may ask for permission to create a VPN connection — that's a standard system prompt you need to approve.
If something isn't working
If the app is installed and the key is added but the connection won't establish, try restarting the app and picking a different server first. If the issue persists, check the troubleshooting guide.
