How to Download xHamster Videos on Android (Step by Step)
- Install the free DownloaderxAI APK (arm64-v8a for almost every phone).
- Allow "Install unknown apps" for your browser once, because it's not on Google Play.
- In xHamster tap Share → Copy link, paste it into the app and tap Download.
- If it fails, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data first.
Phones are where most people watch, and also where downloading is the most annoying. Mobile browsers won't save streams, online downloader sites are twice as ad-heavy on mobile, and the Play Store has no real options for adult sites.
Here's the setup that works, start to finish. Budget about three minutes the first time and five seconds every time after that.
Step 1: Pick the right APK
DownloaderxAI comes in two Android builds:
- arm64-v8a (52 MB): for basically any phone from 2017 onwards. If you're not sure, this is yours.
- armeabi-v7a (29 MB): for older or budget phones where the first one says "App not installed".
Want to check? Install a free app like CPU-Z or Droid Hardware Info and look for "arm64" or "aarch64". Honestly, just try arm64 first.
Step 2: Allow installs from your browser
Because the app isn't on Google Play, Android will ask permission the first time. This is normal for any APK. The exact menu depends on your phone:
| Phone | Where the setting lives |
|---|---|
| Google Pixel / stock Android | The install prompt shows a Settings button → toggle Allow from this source |
| Samsung (One UI) | Settings → Apps → ⋮ → Special access → Install unknown apps → your browser |
| Xiaomi / Redmi / POCO | Settings → Privacy protection → Special permissions → Install unknown apps |
| OnePlus / OPPO / realme | Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps |
| Motorola | Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps |
Tip: once the app is installed you can switch that permission back off. It only matters during installation.
Why not Google Play? Google doesn't allow downloaders for adult sites. Any "xHamster downloader" in the Play Store is either something else or about to disappear. Our APK is self-signed and served from our public GitHub release page, linked only from this site.
Step 3: Install and open
Open your Downloads notification or file manager, tap the APK, then Install. Google Play Protect may show a "unrecognized developer" note. That's expected for apps outside the store. Tap Install anyway only if you got the file from our official link.
Step 4: Copy an xHamster link
In the xHamster app or website, open the video, tap Share, then Copy link. In a browser you can also long-press the address bar and copy.
Step 5: Paste and download
Open DownloaderxAI, paste the link, choose a quality and tap Download. The video lands in your phone's storage, where your gallery or file manager will find it.
Ready to save that video?
Paste the link into DownloaderxAI and it's on your device in a minute. Free on Windows, Mac and Android.
Getting the most out of downloads on a phone
- 720p is the sweet spot. It looks sharp on a 6-inch screen and uses about half the space of 1080p.
- Use Wi-Fi for long videos. An HD clip can be several hundred MB.
- Storage full? Move older downloads to an SD card or your computer. They're regular video files.
- Privacy: if you share your phone, consider a gallery app with a hidden/locked folder, or Samsung's Secure Folder.
Common problems and fixes
"App not installed": you probably have the wrong build. Try the armeabi-v7a APK. Also make sure you've removed any older copy signed differently.
"There was a problem parsing the package": the download got cut off. Delete the APK and download it again on a stable connection.
Download starts, then fails: almost always a network block. xHamster can be intermittently unavailable on some networks because of Cloudflare. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data and retry. Cheap VPN servers make this worse, not better.
Downloaded video won't play in my gallery: try VLC for Android, which plays practically anything.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an official xHamster download app for Android?
DownloaderxAI is an independent downloader, not xHamster's own app. If you want xHamster's official app, get it from xHamster directly, not from a mirror site.
Is it safe to install an APK from outside the Play Store?
It's as safe as the source. Install APKs only from the developer's official link, and avoid "mod" or "premium unlocked" versions on mirror sites. Here's why we steer clear of mod APKs.
Does it work on Android tablets and Android TV boxes?
Most Android tablets, yes, with the same APK. Android TV boxes vary. If yours runs regular Android apps and has an arm64 chip, it usually works.
