No download needed

Open Stripchat in Safari on an iPhone or Chrome on Android and you can watch, chat, sign up and buy tokens just as you would on a computer.

Because it runs in the browser, there is nothing to update and nothing named Stripchat on your home screen unless you add it yourself. Private browsing mode works too if you do not want it in your history.

Add it to your home screen on iPhone

Add to your home screen: Open in Safari, Tap Share, Add to Home Screen, Open from the icon
  1. Open Stripchat in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button (a square with an arrow pointing up).
  3. Choose Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.

Add it to your home screen on Android

Add to home screen: Open the site, Tap the menu, Choose Add
  1. Open Stripchat in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top right.
  3. Choose Add to Home screen or Install app.

Stripchat also has an official page for installing the web app (see the source below).

Avoid unofficial apps

APK download sites and app stores carry apps that use the Stripchat name but are not official. Entering your login or card details in them can put your account and money at risk. Stick to the browser or the web app from the official site. More in is Stripchat safe?.

Phone vs computer, and data use

Watching on a phone: Same features as a computer, Chat below the video, About 1 GB an hour in HD, Lower quality on mobile data

Live video uses a lot of data: watching in high quality can use around 1 GB an hour. On mobile data, lower the quality in the video settings or wait for Wi-Fi.

If nothing here fixes it, contact support from the menu at the bottom of the page. Include your phone model, browser and what happens; it speeds up the reply.

Go-live notifications on your phone

Live alerts on a phone: Log in, Tap the bell, Allow alerts, Open from the icon
  1. Log in to Stripchat in your phone's browser.
  2. On a favorite model's page, tap the bell next to the heart.

  4. On iPhone, notifications work when you open Stripchat from the icon you added to your home screen.
