Install Sky Go: how it works on iPhone and Android smartphone

If you want to install Sky Go on your smartphone, depending on the device, this is relatively easy or only possible through detours. We'll show you how it works on iOS and Android.

Update: Download Sky Go on iPhone and Android

Shortly after the release of Sky Q, a lot has changed in the Sky apps. In addition to iOS, Android smartphones from all manufacturers are now also supported.

1. Simply download the Sky Go app for iOS or the Sky Go app for Android. The download is free.
2. Then log in with your customer number or email address and your four-digit Sky PIN.
3. If you do not yet have a PIN or have forgotten it, you can request the PIN from Sky using the following link.
4. Both iPhones and Android smartphones do not have to be among the latest devices for the Sky Go app. On iOS you need at least iOS 9.0, on Android it has to be at least that much more than Android 4.1.

Android: Install Sky Go on smartphone or tablet

The official Sky Go app for Android is only available in the Play Store for selected devices from Samsung, Sony and Google. You can use the link to download and use the app directly from the Play Store. If that doesn't work, you have to go an alternative way:

1. First open the settings on your Android smartphone.
2. Under the "Security" category, select "Unknown origin".
3. If you accept the message, the function is activated. Apps can now also be installed from external sources.
4. Download the Sky Go APK and open the file after the download.
5. After installation, you can open Sky Go and log in to your account.
6. Note: For security reasons, you should deactivate the "Unknown origin" option afterwards.
