How to install Minds APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Minds APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.minds.mobile-v5.0.2-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

4 ★it's fun, lots of great photos and open discussions with no fear of being wiped from the town square. the crypto token stuff always fun too. only problem is that I miss seeing the text above the photos in the discovery tab lol, and since the last update whenever I leave the app and return nothing works anymore.
5 ★working really hard to fix the bugs and issues with Minds so that it is still a new platform it's still worth joining because your voice counts and they will not censor or block your opinion or truth. after some trial and error I found on the internet browser seemed to a fix the issue and of course Samsung Note 8 updated to the 9.0 software which might have something to do with it as well everybody's updating all the time but everything now is Flawless no errors no windows with errors
2 ★I used an pixel phone and I read all the reviews and the pros and cons and decided to download Minds through the Google app function. I did everything as asked and when I wanted to search for channels, nothing happened. I clicked on the corresponding search area then I typed "space." Nothing at all downloaded. Unfortunately, nothing came up. I then tried to look for channels and nothing came up again. Just a strange message. Very puzzling and disappointing.
2 ★Worked a short while. Crashed. Say "Oops! Error" Tried to reset password say "Oops!" Does not seem to be anyway to get back onto it. Hard to find proper links to the Minds site. Pretty clear Android don't like it as its Playstore gives a version that does not work properly. Google I don't trust either as it's also a Vulture like Android. Minds??????
1 ★Can't see what I'm typing, rotate doesn't respond, and user verification during registration appears broken, which doesn't block you from using the app or registering, so you can still take a tour of the network since verification isnt required. Currently an usable app for me. Might come back to it. Probably won't. Deleting now.
4 ★Logging in is difficult. I found that when it keeps saying alphanumeric password error, it is actually not liking spaces in the username. Strange. Now I'm trying to figure out why media content is not loading on other users posts. Yes, it has bugs but I think that if everyone keeps learning and making suggestions it can be better than FB.
4 ★Trying to create an account on Minds and it is telling me my password is wrong (yes it has all the green ticks) but I haven't even created the account yet.. so how can my password be wrong? Not off to a good start Minds. EDIT- Problem sorted now, even though it was showing green ticks for the password it still needed a symbol of some sort, as well as the letters and numbers I had used. So far the app is looking interesting now I'm actually on it.. I just need to get more of my friends to join
1 ★I just downloaded the app. I just created a username, then went on to create a strong password, everything was checked for the criteria of a password. Once I pressed enter: a notification which said incorrect password came up each time. I had never heard of this app before so I had never entered that password - so, HOW IS IT AN INCORRECT PASSWORD?
4 ★This my favorite FB alternative so far! The app could still use some work. I can't search anything on the app. There is still too many pervy posts on this app and it will be hard to convince friends and family to switch with that happening. The filters have been helpful but it will not be enough for many.
4 ★Have used it for a while now, sometimes get issues when a new update drops but other than I like it. Plenty of tools to filter and customise your content. My only gripe is the limited subscriptions on the top bar, only shows 8 (I think).
4 ★Overall I've had a wonderful experience with mind there's a lot of Fascinating People on it the user interface is easy-to-use and intuitive my only real complaint with it and it does not have widescreen support but overall it's been an excellent experience and is a great social media site
4 ★Update: problem with its update. Keeps showing error. A breath of fresh air. Wonder why many haven't heard of it. It's exactly the kind of social media platform that one looks for and has everything that fb does, and more of what fb doesn't. Fb is nothing compared to this.
