Install Guide

YKPoint is a legitimate device management app — it is not available on the Play Store because it requires permissions (remote control, screen sharing, file access) that Google only allows for enterprise MDM solutions. Follow the steps below to install it safely on your device.

Step 1 — Allow Chrome to install apps
1

Download the APK

Tap Download My App on the dashboard. Chrome will download YKPoint-*.apk to your phone.

2

Open the downloaded file

Pull down the notification shade and tap the downloaded APK — or open Chrome's Downloads (⋮ menu → Downloads).

3

Allow Chrome to install apps

Android will ask "Allow Chrome to install apps from unknown sources?"

Tap Settings → turn on Allow from this source → press Back → tap Install.
Handling the Play Protect warning
Google Play Protect may show a warning because YKPoint is not from the Play Store and uses powerful permissions. This is expected — it does NOT mean the app is dangerous. Follow one of the options below.
Option A — "Install anyway" button (easiest)
A

Look for "Install anyway"

On most Android phones, the Play Protect warning screen has a small "Install anyway" or "More details → Install anyway" link at the bottom. Tap it to proceed.

If you see: "Blocked by Play Protect" with no Install button, use Option B below.
Option B — Disable Play Protect scan (if app was blocked)
1

Open Google Play Store

Tap the Play Store icon on your home screen.

2

Go to Play Protect settings

Tap your profile photo (top-right) → Play Protect → tap the ⚙ gear icon (top-right of Play Protect screen).

3

Turn off "Scan apps with Play Protect"

Toggle it Off. Tap Turn off when prompted.

You can re-enable this after installation if you want Play Protect monitoring back on.
4

Install the APK again

Go back to Chrome Downloads and tap the APK file — it will now install without interference.

After installation
✓

Open the app

The app launches to a consent screen. Review and enable the features you want to use. Your account is automatically linked — no pairing code needed.

✓

Grant permissions when asked

The app will ask for each permission (location, camera, microphone, etc.) individually. Grant only what you need. You can change these any time in Android Settings → Apps → YKPoint.

✓

Enable Accessibility & Notification access

For remote control and notification reading, follow the prompts to enable these in Android Settings. The app guides you step-by-step.

Android 13, 14, 15 & 16 — "Restricted setting" fix
Important for newer phones: When you try to turn on Accessibility or Notification access, Android may grey it out and say "Restricted setting" or "For your security, this setting is currently unavailable." This is normal for sideloaded apps — here is how to unlock it.
1

Open the app's App Info

Settings → Apps → YKPoint. (Or long-press the YKPoint icon → tap ⓘ App info.)

2

Tap the ⋮ menu (top-right)

Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the App info screen.

3

Tap "Allow restricted settings"

Select Allow restricted settings. Confirm if asked. (On some phones this option only appears after you have first tried to enable Accessibility and been blocked.)

After this, go back to Settings → Accessibility → YKPoint Remote Control and the toggle will now turn ON normally. Same for Notification access.
If install is still hard-blocked ("Blocked by Play Protect", no Install button)
1

Disable Play Protect scanning first (Option B above)

Play Store → profile photo → Play Protect → ⚙ gear → turn OFF "Scan apps with Play Protect". Then re-open the downloaded APK and install.

2

If a "Send app for scanning?" prompt appears

Choose "Don't send" / "Install without scanning". The app installs normally.

3

Last resort — install over USB from a computer

Enable Developer Options (Settings → About phone → tap "Build number" 7 times) → turn on USB debugging → connect to a PC and run:

adb install YKPoint.apk
This bypasses the Play Protect install scan entirely. All features work exactly the same.
