Before you install WhatsApp Phone Capture on your Android device, ensure that your phone settings allow installation from unknown sources.
Open device settings.
Select Security and privacy.
Select Install unknown apps.
Note
Some devices have a single setting control for all installing applications.
Some devices have a dedicated setting for each application used to install WhatsApp Phone Capture. The installing application can be your web browser or your file manager application. For a dedicated setting, enable installation from unknown sources based on your installation method. Smarsh recommends that you either use a web browser or a file manager app to install WhatsApp Phone Capture.
Web browser: For example, if you are using Google Chrome, ensure that Chrome security settings allow installation from an unknown source.
