Installation & Setup

Watch our quick setup video or follow the simple steps below to correctly install and configure the FindKiko tracking app.


Step-by-step guide

1️⃣ Create your account
Register and log in on our website or through the monitoring app (Download section).

2️⃣ Add your first device
Go to the Devices menu and choose a name (ex: “John Phone”).

3️⃣ Your Device ID is created automatically
Example: 1000-abc123
This code will be entered later inside the app installed on the device you want to track.

4️⃣ Download and install the app on the device that will be located.
In the Download menu, choose any of the available apps. (All versions are identical — only the app name changes.)

5️⃣ Install the app (.apk)
Android may warn that apps outside Google Play “may be unsafe”. This is standard. Our app is fully safe and verified.

Important: Apps installed outside Play Store always trigger this warning. Simply continue the installation.

6️⃣ Enable essential permissions
Hold the app icon for 1 second → tap App info (ⓘ) → set:

  • Battery → Unrestricted
  • Permissions → Location → Allow all the time
Without these permissions, the app will NOT work in background.

7️⃣ Insert the Device ID
Hold the app icon → tap Settings → enter your Device ID → press Save and then Send.

After sending, the app will transmit your first location. You can now see it in the Locator menu on our website or monitoring app.

❗ Note: the app never opens directly when clicked; this is done intentionally so that it's not easy for the device/phone user to open and change anything.

Understanding the Locator

Inside the Locator page you can switch devices, view current position and check previous days.
