Anyone who has installed Truple on Android before knows that it asks for numerous permissions – 5 or more, depending on your phone manufacturer and Android version. These permissions are necessary to ensure the app runs reliably. For those not familiar with Android, granting each of these permissions can be cumbersome and confusing.
Today, we’re excited to release the beta version of our Direct Installer. The Direct Installer is a program you install on your Windows or Mac computer, which can be used to programmatically install Truple onto your Android device and then automatically grant most of the permissions for you. All you have to do is plug your charging cord into the computer, then enable USB debugging on your phone. Once that’s done, the Direct Installer can take care of the rest.
This process differs from the typical Android app installation experience, but it makes the setup process easier. Plus, there are some additional benefits as well:
- Since you’ll be installing the app directly, you can use the Block Tamper (aka Block Uninstall) feature when using Truple to monitor your kids. Currently, this feature is unavailable when installed through the Google Play Store.
- Google has been removing accountability apps from the Google Play Store lately. Big tech has simply lost its marbles, or at least its values. They’re kicking out apps that help parents keep kids safe, assist with overcoming online addictions, create lasting relationships, and heal marriages. While we’re in complete compliance with Google’s policies, using the Direct Installer and bypassing Google’s control will ensure that you have reliable monitoring regardless of the actions Google takes.
To get started with the Direct Installer, you can follow our Direct Install Guide. The next time you’re looking to set up a new Android device, consider using the Direct Installer to get the best experience possible with Truple.
