iOS / Android App
Alphio's native iOS and Android apps are built with Flutter and offer full feature parity with the web app, plus mobile-only capabilities like push notifications and biometric auth.
1. Where to download
- iOS — Apple App Store, search "Alphio".
- Android — Google Play Store, search "Alphio".
Exact store URLs (App Store ID, Play Store package name) and any regional availability restrictions are being finalized. The most up-to-date download links live on alphio.ai.
2. Mobile-only features
A handful of capabilities exist only in the native apps — the web at m.alphio.ai cannot provide them:
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Push notifications | Real-time alerts (AI_TRADE, AI_ALERT, AI_TASK, NEWSWIRE, PROMO) delivered via APNs (iOS) / FCM (Android) without keeping the app open |
| Face ID / Touch ID / fingerprint | Biometric unlock for app launch and for sensitive actions (Trade Modal confirm, withdraw, etc.) |
| On-device alert caching | Recent alerts available offline; the inbox stays browseable without a network connection |
| App Store / Play Store IAP | In-app subscription purchase via the platform store (where region rules require it) |
| Deep links | Tap an Alphio URL from another app and land directly on the matching in-app screen |
3. Feature parity with web
The native apps share the same core experience as the web app — same chat, same Signals, same Trade rails, same Watchlist, same account surfaces. Most user-facing screens are rendered through an embedded H5 layer (see H5 Hot Update), so they ship together.
The exact parity matrix between native apps and web (e.g. which features land native-first, which are platform-restricted by App Store / Play Store policy, IAP vs web checkout differences) is being finalized. Confirm in-app before relying on a specific behavior.
4. App permissions
On first launch and on demand the app asks for a handful of OS-level permissions:
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| Notifications | Push delivery for AI_TRADE / AI_ALERT / AI_TASK / NEWSWIRE / PROMO categories |
| Camera | Avatar upload, KYC capture (where applicable) |
| Photo library | Avatar selection from gallery, attaching screenshots in support tickets |
| Face ID / Touch ID / fingerprint | Biometric auth (one-time consent at enrollment) |
| Bluetooth / NFC | Hardware wallet pairing (where supported) |
You can revoke any of these later from your phone's Settings without uninstalling the app — Alphio degrades gracefully when a permission is denied (e.g. with notifications off you still get the in-app inbox).
5. Updating
There are two update channels with different cadences:
- Native shell updates — distributed through the App Store / Play Store. These bundle native plumbing changes (push tokens, auth, biometrics, platform SDK upgrades). You install them the same way as any other native app update.
- H5 layer updates — distributed by Alphio's hot-update channel, independent of the stores. These ship UI and business-logic changes within hours. See H5 Hot Update for the full mechanic.
Most updates are H5-only, which means you usually don't need to wait for a store update to get new features.
6. Supported OS versions
| Platform | Minimum supported |
|---|---|
| iOS | iOS 15+ |
| Android | Android 8.0 (API 26)+ |
Exact minimum OS versions and any device-class restrictions (e.g. 64-bit only, ARM64 only) are being finalized as the Flutter dependency baseline evolves. Confirm with the App Store / Play Store listing — the store enforces these as install gates.
