Can we get a MetaMask extension for Android? If yes, how?

The crypto world demands us to create a crypto wallet for ourselves and we surely know that this wallet has to be the one that supports the storage of that particular crypto asset that we are looking forward to buying or have already purchased. The users who have already invested in a crypto asset that is built on the Ethereum blockchain need to understand the fact that it is a crypto asset that requires you to choose a supporting crypto wallet for it.

And when we talk about ETH-based crypto assets, we need to understand the fact that nothing works better for them than MetaMask. Using MetaMask is a pretty easy task and can be completed in a few easy steps. For your information, if you are a desktop user, you can install the MetaMask browser extension on your device to get started with it. On the other hand, if you are a mobile phone user, then you need to get the MetaMask mobile app installed and you'll be done.

However, the topic of this post is related to installing the MetaMask browser extension on an Android device. So, let's find out if it is possible.

Answering whether or not the MetaMask extension is available for Android 

As discussed in the previous sections of this article, we can say that the MetaMask browser extension is surely available for different web browsers such as Chrome, Brave, Opera, Edge, or Firefox. However, it should be noted that for mobile device users, it is only available in the form of a mobile app.

As we know that our mobile device, specifically our Android mobile device does have a web browser but this mobile browser is not capable enough to get any extension added to it.

So, the answer to the above question is no. We cannot have a MetaMask browser extension on our Android mobile device. But the question is how come we are going to use MetaMask on our mobile phones?

Well, the next section of the read will surely answer your question.

How to get MetaMask on Android?

Using MetaMask on an Android device requires you to download its mobile app and then you can set up your wallet on it. The steps you need to follow for this are listed below:

  1. First of all, you need to get to the official MetaMask site
  2. On their homepage, you can select the "Download" button
  3. You will see the MetaMask browser extension and app options
  4. From the given operating systems, you may choose "Android" as an option
  5. Further, the installation link for your Android device would be provided
  6. Thereafter, you can choose the "Install" option for completing the task

Meanwhile, you may also straightaway head to the Google Play Store on your device and then you may get to the "Search" box. In it, input "MetaMask" and look for the available search results. Further, you can choose the first option which is the authentic app option, and tap "Install" to get the app installed.

Concluding thoughts: 

After reading this post, it might be clear to you that the MetaMask browser extension is only available for desktop browsers and not for the browsers that are available on your mobile device. But, there's a way out through which we can use MetaMask on our mobile phones i.e. by installing its mobile app, and the process for same has also been explained above.
