Install the app on your phone

Find the APK in your Downloads folder and open it. Once the file is opened, you'll be asked to install the app. Tap "Install". This is when you may see a Google Play Protect warning, which is a default security check for APKs.

Why does this happen? Google Play Protect flags any APK not distributed through the Play Store. Blip SMS is safe — it's developed by TelQ Telecom GmbH, a registered German telecom company used by over 430,000 people worldwide.

Add Blip SMS to the white list

If you have an Android 6+ device, you'll need to add Blip SMS to the white list to allow it to run in the background. This ensures you don't miss any test messages.

About permissions: When setting up the app, you'll see pop-up windows asking for permissions. This is a standard Android feature. Here's what you need to know:
  • Permissions are required solely to enable key features, such as detecting test SMS or managing test calls.
  • While the app requests access to certain data, it is strictly used to perform its functions and not for any other purpose.
  • Your sensitive information, such as personal messages, is not stored or shared.
These permissions are necessary for the app to work as intended. For more details, review our Privacy Policy.
