Does OnlyFans have a mobile app?
OnlyFans does not have an official app for mobile or desktop. The platform only exists as a website, which you can access at onlyfans.com.
- Is there an OnlyFans app for Android? No, there isn't one in the Google Play Store.
- Is OnlyFans on the App Store? No, OnlyFans isn't in the App Store either.
What about other app stores, websites, and APK download links? Unfortunately, they're a bust too. OnlyFans has made it clear that they don't have an app in any form.
Any apps claiming to be OnlyFans are fake. At best, they'll just try to make money off of you with ads, but they might even give you a virus or steal your information. Needless to say, you should avoid them.
How to add OnlyFans to home screen
Creators wish they had an OnlyFans mobile app instead of having to use the website.
You're stuck with just the website for the foreseeable future - there likely won't be an app anytime soon (and you'll find out soon why that is).
But the good news is that you can add OnlyFans to your home screen to make things more convenient for yourself.
It's a simple process that should take you a few minutes at most.
On Android:
- Launch Chrome.
- Head to the OnlyFans website.
- Tap the three dots on the top right.
- Select "Add to Home Screen".
- And you're all done. Head back to your home screen and find the "OnlyFans mobile app" there.
The process is pretty much the same on iOS:
- Launch Safari and head to OnlyFans.
- Tap the share icon at the bottom of your screen.
- Scroll down to see more options and select "Add to Home Screen"
With this method, you don't download an app—you just create a shortcut to the official website. But it's practically the same as using an app. You can also enable push notifications in your profile settings.
Why doesn't OnlyFans have an app?
OnlyFans claims they don't have an app because they're always updating their website to provide the best user experience.
Offering an app but then asking users to update it so frequently wouldn't be practical. This makes sense and is likely one reason for the lack of an app. OnlyFans has to stay on top of security concerns and potential exploits with frequent updates.
But the real reason is the adult nature of content on the platform. Apps with explicit content and pornography aren't allowed on most app libraries, including the App Store on iOS and Play Store on Android.
OnlyFans used to have an app in its early years. But when the platform became a big thing during COVID-19, the app was removed from app stores and discontinued because it could no longer fly under the radar. OnlyFans is effectively banned from the Apple App and Google Play Stores.
App Store fees are another reason. CEO Tim Stokely told the Wall Street Journal that the 30% cut required by Apple is too much for the platform to continue operating on an 80/20 split with its creators. In other words, creators would have to take a hit to their earnings.
Even if OnlyFans were given a free pass on the adult content, the platform still would not join the App Store.
The OFTV app
OnlyFans technically does have an app, but it's not the OnlyFans platform you know for adult content.
OFTV was launched in 2021 as a way for OnlyFans (and creators) to branch out into more non-explicit content. This was shortly after OnlyFans announced they would be removing porn from their platform and then reversing their decision.
It's a video streaming app with original SFW content from creators in a reality TV-like fashion. You'll find top creators engaging in wholesome activities like:
- Fitness
- Cooking
- Gaming
- Music
- Vlogging
The app is completely free to download and use.
You can also join and submit your own content as a creator, and it's a great way to introduce more variety in your content.
