Install Klervio
Klervio downloads directly from this page. Four steps, and it’s up and running.
Download the app
Tap the button. Your browser will ask for permission to install: accept.
Chrome warns you about every .apk — tap “Download”
Open the file and install
- Open the download notification, then tap Install
- Google Play Protect steps in: tap More details, then Install anyway
“More details” reveals “Install anyway”
Unlock the settings
Open Settings → Apps → Klervio, tap the three dots in the top right, then Allow restricted settings.
The three dots at the top, then “Allow restricted settings”
Open Klervio and follow the two buttons
- Klervio itself asks for the Phone and SMS permissions: tap Allow each time
- A button flashes: tap it
- A second one flashes: tap it too — it opens the accessibility settings
- Choose Installed apps → Klervio, turn on the toggle, then confirm
- If file access is requested, accept
Tap “Allow” for Phone and for SMS
All set
Klervio shows Protection on. Your calls, texts, emails and links are analysed in real time. There’s nothing more to do.
If you get stuck
I have a Redmi (Xiaomi) phone
Klervio is not compatible with Redmi phones: Xiaomi’s Android overlay blocks features that call and SMS analysis depends on. The app works on almost every other device running Android 8.0 or later.
I can’t see the three dots
Android only shows them after a first attempt. Go to Settings → Apps → Klervio → Permissions, tap SMS, close the message, go back to the app info screen: the three dots are there.
The “Install anyway” button doesn’t appear
It sits behind More details. Tap that link: the button appears just below.
The accessibility toggle keeps switching itself off
Restricted settings haven’t been unlocked. Go back to step 3, then turn the toggle on again.
My phone’s menus look different
Labels vary from brand to brand. Search for the step’s keyword in the Settings search bar: unknown apps, restricted settings, accessibility. The sequence stays the same.
How do I uninstall Klervio?
Turn off accessibility in Settings → Accessibility → Installed apps → Klervio, then uninstall the app as normal.
