Amino was removed from the App Store and Google Play. That's why you can't find it. Delisting is deliberate, not a search glitch or a regional restriction, and it's the clearest single signal that a platform has stopped rather than gone temporarily offline.
| iOS App Store | Removed |
|---|---|
| Google Play | Removed |
| Regional restriction | No, removed everywhere |
| Reinstall possible | No, delete it and it's gone |
| Sideloading helps | No, why |
If you went looking for Amino and couldn't find it, you're not crazy. The app is gone.
Yes, it's been removed
Amino was pulled from the iOS App Store first and then Google Play. Existing installs may still launch on older devices but no new installs are available.
Why was it removed?
MediaLab, who acquired Amino in 2021, stopped maintaining it. The app was riddled with broken features, deprecated SDK versions, and unresolved policy violations from the storefronts.
Can I download Amino somewhere else?
Some third-party APK mirrors host older Amino builds. We don't recommend installing them. Those builds are abandoned, communicate with retired servers, and won't have new content or other people on them.
What to use instead
Aminoka is a same-shape replacement: communities, profiles, polls, walls, leveling, public chats, leaderboards. See the 2025 replacement guide for a full comparison.
