Quick answer
Accessibility improvements
F-Droid repository metadata
TalkBack is an Accessibility Service that helps blind and vision-impaired users
interact with their devices more easily.
This application adds spoken, audible, and vibration feedback to your device.
It comes pre-installed on many devices so you won't be able to install this if
that is the case.
It's only activated if you explicitly turn on Accessibility:
- Go to Settings
- Select Accessibility
- Enable TalkBack checkboxes
How to install
- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
Data safety
- Every file is checked against its published SHA-256 before it is listed.
- Files are scanned for malware on every update.
- The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
- Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
