Yes, you can download OnlyFans videos straight to your Android phone. The way to do it is the Fanripper app, which runs inside Expo Go from Google Play. There’s no APK and no “unknown sources”, and protected PPV is decrypted on the phone itself. If you specifically want the browser extension, it also runs on Android in Edge Canary or Elixir (Option 2 below).
A quick note before anything else: Fanripper is a personal backup tool for content you have lawful, paid access to. It is not for redistribution, and it is not affiliated with OnlyFans, Fansly, JustForFans, privacy.com.br or Fanfix.
Quick answer
- Install Expo Go (free) from Google Play.
- On your phone, open fanripper.com/app and tap Open Fanripper.
- Sign in with the 6-character code we email you.
- Sign in to OnlyFans inside the app.
- Tap Save on a post or message, then save the file to your phone. Pick a folder once, and every later save goes there in one tap.
Is there an OnlyFans downloader app for Android?
Yes. Google Play doesn’t list apps that download from subscription sites, so Fanripper doesn’t have a Play Store listing of its own, and it is never an APK. It runs inside Expo Go, a free app on Google Play built for running apps like this one. You install Expo Go from Play, open Fanripper from fanripper.com/app, and you’re done. There’s no APK to download, no “install from unknown sources” switch to flip, and nothing to sideload. New versions arrive by themselves the next time you open it.
One app covers five sites (OnlyFans, Fansly, JustForFans, privacy.com.br and Fanfix) on the same Fanripper account and plan as the browser extension. Your phone gets its own device slot, so signing in on it never signs out your computer.
Option 1: the Fanripper app (recommended)
You need an Android phone, Expo Go (free on Google Play), a free Fanripper account and your OnlyFans login. Photos and standard video are free. Protected PPV video needs Basic ($5/month) or higher.
1. Install Expo Go from Google Play
Open Google Play, search “Expo Go” and install it. You don’t need an Expo account.
2. Open fanripper.com/app on your phone
Open fanripper.com/app in your phone’s browser. If you’re on a computer, the same page shows a code instead: scan it with your phone’s camera to open the page there. Only ever open Fanripper from fanripper.com.
3. Tap Open Fanripper
Tap Open Fanripper and Expo Go opens it. If Expo Go isn’t installed yet, the button takes you to Google Play first. After the first time, Fanripper is in Expo Go under Recently opened.
4. Sign in with the 6-character code we email you
Enter your email, then type or paste the 6-character code we send you. A new email gets a free account on the spot. If you already use the extension, use the same email and your plan comes with you.
5. Sign in to OnlyFans inside the app
Tap OnlyFans and sign in on OnlyFans’s own sign-in page, in the app’s built-in browser. Fanripper never asks you for your OnlyFans password.
6. Tap Save on a post or DM
Browse as normal. Posts and messages with media get a Save button: tap it and the download starts. The Save button at the bottom of the screen lists everything on the page, with Save all. Progress shows in Downloads.
7. Save it to your phone
Finished files go into Fanripper’s Library. Tap Save to Files and choose a folder once (Download › Fanripper works well). Fanripper remembers it, so every later save goes there in one tap. Save to Photos adds a file to your gallery instead.
Get the Fanripper app at fanripper.com/app. It’s free to start, and setup takes about a minute.
Option 2: the extension in Edge Canary or Elixir
This route is for people who specifically want the browser extension on their phone. Kiwi Browser was discontinued in early 2025, so use Microsoft Edge Canary (a normal Play Store install, with Kiwi’s old extension engine) or Elixir (an APK from its GitHub releases). Both can load Chrome extensions through a “Load unpacked” developer mode. Fanripper never asks for your password; it works through the OnlyFans session you sign into in that browser.
Step by step: load Fanripper on Android
- Install Edge Canary or Elixir and open it.
- Download the Fanripper package from install.fanripper.com and save the .zip to your device.
- Unzip it with your phone’s Files app.
- Open the browser’s Extensions page from the browser menu and turn on Developer mode.
- Tap Load unpacked and pick the unzipped Fanripper folder.
- Go to onlyfans.com, log in normally, open a post or DM, and let Fanripper save it. Files land in your device’s local storage.
App vs extension on Android
| Feature | Fanripper app | Extension (Edge Canary / Elixir) |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Expo Go from Google Play, tap Open Fanripper | Developer mode and Load unpacked |
| Protected (DRM) video | Yes (Basic and up) | Yes (Basic and up) |
| Whole-profile backup | Yes (Pro) | Yes (Pro) |
| Downloads at once | One at a time | Parallel on Pro |
| Keeps going when closed | No, keep the app open | No, keep the browser open |
| Where files go | Library, then a folder you pick once, or your gallery | The browser’s downloads |
| New versions | Arrive by themselves | Re-load the new build |
| Cloud + Telegram add-on | No | Yes |
The app is the one to use: no developer mode, no zip files, and updates take care of themselves. The extension only makes sense if you specifically want parallel downloads or the Cloud + Telegram add-on on your phone.
What works on Android, and what’s different
The core works the same in the app as on a computer: photos and standard video from posts and DMs, protected PPV, whole-profile backups, and all five sites. What’s different on a phone:
- One file at a time. The app works through downloads in order, so a long queue takes longer than the extension’s parallel engine on a computer.
- It works while it’s open. Downloads run only while Fanripper is open and on screen. The screen stays awake while it downloads. If you switch apps, downloads pause, and they carry on from the last finished piece when you come back.
- Some bulk jobs stay on the computer. On OnlyFans, whole-profile backups on the phone cover posts, the posts you paid for, archived posts, streams and pinned posts. Bulk backups of the OnlyFans Vault, DMs, stories and highlights need the extension on a computer for now.
- No Cloud + Telegram add-on in the app. It’s an extension feature.
Where your files go
In the app, every file lands in Fanripper’s Library, grouped by creator, site and month, with search and sort. Everything plays offline. To get a copy out:
- Save to Files copies a file into a folder you choose once, like Download › Fanripper. Fanripper remembers it, so after that it’s one tap.
- Save to Photos adds a file to your gallery. Fanripper can also do this automatically for every save. It asks first, and it stays off unless you say yes.
Your phone’s Files app can’t see inside Expo Go, and uninstalling Expo Go removes Fanripper’s library with it. Save anything you want to keep to a folder or your gallery.
With the extension, files go wherever your browser saves downloads.
Protected video and whole-profile backups on Android
Plenty of Android downloaders choke on protected video. Fanripper saves DRM-protected OnlyFans video from posts and DMs on the Basic plan ($5/month). The video is downloaded and decrypted on your phone, and it never passes through our servers. Standard Fansly video isn’t DRM-protected, so it saves free. For why protected video is the hard case, see the OnlyFans video downloader guide.
Pro ($8/month) adds whole-profile backups, run at a steady pace so you don’t have to scroll. Max ($15/month) and Lifetime ($99 once) add JustForFans, privacy.com.br and Fanfix, in the app too. The whole-profile guide goes deeper.
There’s no purchase inside the app. On your phone, buy at app.fanripper.com (sign in with your email code, then License → Upgrade) or in our Telegram bot, @fanripperbot. Your plan then shows up in the app by itself. Most plans cover one phone and one computer, and monthly Max covers two of each.
A few tips for a smoother Android experience
- Free up storage first. A protected video needs about twice its size free while it’s put together.
- Stay on Wi-Fi for big videos and whole-profile backups, to save mobile data and avoid interrupted transfers.
- Keep the app open and on screen until the queue is done. Plug in for long runs, since the screen stays on.
- Don’t rush it. Fanripper paces downloads like normal browsing instead of hammering the site, which keeps account-flag risk lower than aggressive scrapers. That’s lower risk, not zero risk; no tool can honestly promise you’ll never be flagged.
- Save button missing? Run the quick troubleshooting checklist.
Skip “OnlyFans downloader APKs”
Search for an “OnlyFans downloader APK” and you’ll find install files from sites you’ve never heard of. An APK from an unknown source can do almost anything on your phone, and if one asks you to type your OnlyFans password into it, stop there.
Fanripper is never an APK. It only comes from fanripper.com/app and runs in Expo Go from Google Play. The one APK in this guide is the Elixir browser for Option 2, from its own GitHub page, and Edge Canary avoids even that.
FAQ
Is the Fanripper Android app free? It’s free to start. Photos and standard video from posts and DMs on OnlyFans and Fansly cost nothing. Protected PPV video is Basic ($5/month), whole-profile backups are Pro ($8/month), and JustForFans, privacy.com.br and Fanfix come with Max ($15/month) or Lifetime ($99 once).
Is there a Fanripper APK? No. Fanripper runs inside Expo Go, which you install from Google Play. Open it from fanripper.com/app, never from a file someone sends you.
Can I download OnlyFans DMs on Android? Yes. Open the chat in the app and tap Save on the message. Standard DM media is free, and protected DM video needs Basic. The DM guide has more.
Does it keep downloading in the background? No. Android only lets Fanripper work while it’s open and on screen. Leave and downloads pause. Come back and they pick up where they stopped.
Will using the app sign me out of the extension on my computer? No. Phones have their own device slot, so the app and the extension run side by side on one account and plan.
Do I need root or developer mode? Not for the app. Developer mode is only needed for the extension route.
Bottom line
On Android, the way to save OnlyFans videos is the Fanripper app: Expo Go from Google Play, open Fanripper from fanripper.com/app, sign in, and tap Save. Protected PPV is decrypted on the phone, and there’s no APK and no password handover. The extension in Edge Canary or Elixir is only worth it if you specifically want parallel downloads or the Cloud + Telegram add-on on your phone.
Get the Fanripper app at fanripper.com/app. It’s free to start. On an iPhone instead? The iPhone guide has the same app, step by step. Back up the content you already pay for, and keep it for yourself.
