Premium
This repository hosts direct-download APK builds of the Mei Android SMS app. Builds here are typically ahead of the Google Play release for users who want the latest fixes immediately via sideload.
What is Mei?
Mei is a modern default SMS texting app for Android with RCS encryption and an optional AI assistant. Learn more at textmei.com/mei-features.
Install (sideload)
- Download the latest APK from the Releases page.
- On your Android device, open the downloaded file. You may need to enable "Install from unknown sources" for your browser (Settings → Apps → Browser → Install unknown apps).
- Tap Install.
- Open Mei and (optionally) set it as your default SMS app.
Note: Sideloaded versions are signed with a development certificate. When you later switch to the Google Play version, you'll need to uninstall the sideloaded version first (Android won't allow upgrades across signing certificates).
