Download and install Yammbot

Yammbot installs from an APK file, outside Google Play. It takes a few minutes and you do it from the phone where you want it to reply.

1. Download the file

Go to bot.yammbo.com/descargar from your Android browser and tap «Descargar APK» (Download APK). If the browser warns that the file could be harmful, confirm you want to download it anyway — that’s normal for any APK that doesn’t come from Google Play.

The download page also shows the file’s SHA-256 checksum, in case you want to verify it from a computer.

2. Allow the install

Open the downloaded file. If Android asks, turn on “Allow from this source” (or “Install unknown apps”) for your browser and go back to continue installing.

3. If Google Play Protect appears

Play Protect may warn that the app wasn’t downloaded from Google Play. Tap “More details” and then “Install anyway”. You don’t need to turn off Play Protect.

4. Sign in to your account

Create your account or sign in with the one you already have. Your free month starts the first time you sign in from the app — not when you register on the website. See Getting started for the rest of the initial walkthrough.

5. Turn on notification access

The app takes you straight to that Android setting. It’s the permission that lets it read a new message and reply from the notification.

6. Remove the battery restriction

Choose “Unrestricted” so Android doesn’t close Yammbot in the background. If your phone is a Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo or Samsung, also check the manufacturer guide in Not replying.

Updates

Since Yammbot isn’t on Google Play, updates don’t arrive on their own: the app itself tells you when there’s a new version (Acerca de › «Buscar actualización» (About › “Check for update”)). Download the new APK and install it over the one you have, without uninstalling — your rules and settings are kept.
