This is one kind of invite you won’t want to accept — but spotting the threat isn’t always so simple.
The official AI Platinum app is what’s known as a progressive web app, which means it works on practically any device and operating system without the need for any proprietary standards or platform-specific storefronts. It relies on your browser to operate but but looks and acts like any other regular standalone app on your phone — or even on your computer.
Here’s all you’ve gotta do to install it:
On Android
- Open the Platinum Community forum site in Chrome on your phone. (The same basic process will apply in Edge and certain other browsers. Firefox, unfortunately, doesn’t currently support these types of cross-platform apps.)
- Tap the three-dot menu icon in the browser’s upper-right corner.
- Tap the “Install app” line in the Chrome menu.
- Tap the word “Install” on the pop-up that comes up.
And that’s it: All that’s left is to look on your home screen or in your app drawer to find your fancy new AI Platinum icon!
You can even then share stuff like links from your web browser directly into the Platinum Community app to post ’em into the forum, too.
How awesome is that?!
On your desktop computer
- Again, open the Platinum Community site in Chrome. (And again, the same basic process will apply in Edge and certain other browsers but not in Firefox, as it’s unfortunately opted against supporting PWAs at all.)
- Click the three-dot menu icon in the browser’s upper-right corner.
- Look for the line labeled “Install Android Intelligence Platinum Community” in the menu that comes up, and — oh yes, you guessed it — click it!
- Click “Install” in the confirmation box that comes up.
And then celebrate your newfound awesomeness by clicking the icon on your desktop, shrieking with glee, and drinking the most expensive bottle of tangerine fizzy-water you can get your greasy hands on.
