Automatically patched binaries are available on [distok.a3.pm/cutthecord](https://distok.a3.pm/cutthecord).
To be able to install them (when moving from official discord app), you'll need to first uninstall Discord app and restart your device. You may also need to enable play protect.
#### Installing patched binaries
You can just update directly from APKs there once you do that, so this is a process you only need to do once.
First of all, download the apk you want to install from the link above, then:
## Toolchain setup
- Uninstall the official Discord app from your phone. You'll need to re-login, so make sure that you remember your password!
- (optional) Disable Play Protect
- Restart your phone
- Install the APK you downloaded. Ignore Play Protect's nag.
#### Updating or moving between patches
You can just update directly or move between the patches that are built by cutthecord without having to uninstall or restart.
If you ever want to move back to official Discord builds or want to move to your own built APKs, you'll need to do the "Installing patched binaries" step above again. This is due to the different signatures provided.
