Setting Up Happ on Android for Happ Plus

On Android, Happ runs as a standalone app built on Xray-core, and server access comes from a Happ Plus access key issued by the Telegram bot. Here's the full path from download to your first connection.

Step 1. Install the app

Open the Android download page and get the file onto your phone or tablet. Make sure it's the Android build specifically — versions made for iPhone or desktop won't run on Android.

Step 2. Request a Happ Plus access key

Open the service's Telegram bot and get a Happ Plus access key or subscription link. The bot replies with a text string and usually a QR code too — either format works on Android.

Step 3. Add the key to the app

In Happ on Android, go to the add-subscription section and paste the copied link, or scan the QR code with the built-in camera. A ready-to-use Happ Plus connection profile shows up in the list right away.

Step 4. Choose a server and connect

Once the key is added, the app displays a list of available servers — pick the nearest or fastest one and tap connect. On first launch, Android asks for permission to create a VPN connection; that's a standard system prompt you need to approve.

If the connection won't establish

If the app is installed and the key is added but nothing connects, start by restarting Happ and trying a different server from the list. If that doesn't help, check the full troubleshooting guide.
