Truth Social generated a lot of buzz with its release in February 2022. While the app is readily available for the iPhone, is Truth Social also on Android? iOS and Android are more similar today than they've ever been. Both platforms have system-wide dark modes, digital wellbeing features, picture-in-picture support, gesture-based navigation, and robust settings to customize. However, one area where the two still remain separated is app availability.

To developers' credit, the difference between iOS and Android app availability has gotten much better over the years. Major applications are readily available for both platforms, as are smaller ones from indie developers. That said, there are still some applications that are only released on iOS. Even apps like Twitter still test certain features on iOS before bringing them to Android.

In regards to Truth Social, it finds itself in a similar situation. The Trump-backed social media app is currently only available for the iPhone. Head to the App Store, search for Truth Social, and download the app just like that. There's no Android version of Truth Social at the moment, however, that's expected to change in the future. The Truth Social website says its Android app is 'coming soon' to the Google Play Store. There's no confirmed date for when that'll happen, but it's definitely something that's in the works.

Truth Social's Android App Is Facing Delays

Unfortunately for Truth Social, it looks like the Android app might be delayed even longer than initially expected. The issue isn't the development of the app, but Truth Social's content moderation policies that are a red flag for Google. Now, the main premise of Truth Social is that it allows people to post the unfiltered truth, but there need to be some limitations in place, particularly calls to incite violence or harm. There are currently several posts on the platform that are in direct violation of Google's policies against physical violence.

Truth Social does display a warning above some posts saying "This content may not be suitable for all audiences," but harmful content continues to remain on the platform. Google has notified its concerns to Truth Social, which is currently working on a solution. Even then, the platform will need Google's go-ahead before the app can go live on the Play Store, so it looks like users will have to wait a while longer for the Android app.

What To Do While You Wait For The Truth Social Android App

If someone wants to use Truth Social and has an Android phone, there is something they can do in the meantime. The Truth Social platform is also accessible on the web, which means Android users can just open the browser on their device to use the service. All users need to do is head to the website, sign up, log in, and begin using Truth Social. While the web version doesn't offer the convenience of a dedicated app, it's the best alternative at the moment.

Alternatively, you could also ignore Truth Social and use another Android app for social media. Truth Social is essentially a rebranded version of Twitter, featuring a nearly identical app design and feature set. Not only is Twitter readily available for Android, but it also doesn't have any of the growing pains Truth Social is already experiencing. And for folks who prefer social media platforms with a conservative-focused user base, Parler is also available for Android devices. Truth Social is bound to be an interesting addition to the Play Store when its Android app finally launches, but if you don't want to sit around and wait for it, there are other options out there.
