Install and activate iOS apps

There are two ways to install and activate iOS apps in Setapp:

• from your Mac (not available for the "iOS" plan)
• from your iPhone

Note: To install an app, you must be logged in.

Install from Mac

1. Open Setapp on your Mac, find an app with an iOS version, then click the app to open its page.
2. Click "iOS app".
   

3. Open the original Camera app on your iOS device and scan the QR code. Please do not use a third-party QR code reader.

   
4. You will see the app on the App Store. Install the app. If you already have an app installed, update it to the latest version. Don't worry about the app's price on the App Store: you won't need to pay anything on top of your Setapp payments.
   
   
5. Now you need to activate the app. Go back to Setapp on your Mac and click "Next Step". Scan the second QR code to activate the app on your iOS device.

You must see a confirmation message that the app is successfully activated.

Install from iPhone

1. On your iOS device, visit setapp.com and log in to your Setapp account.
2. In your Setapp account, select "iOS apps" from the list. Scroll down to view all available apps.
3. Select an app you want to install and click Get > "Go to App Store." Install the app.
4. Go back to your Setapp account. Now you'll see the Activate button. Activate the app.

That's it! The app is fully functional now, and there's nothing more you need to do but enjoy it.
