# Murudo Web or the Android app: what is different?

Murudo Web and the Android app share one account and the same people. They differ in how you pay, notifications, app lock and updates.

Murudo Web and the Android app are the same Murudo with the same account, the same people and the same matches and chats. The differences are in how you pay, how notifications are turned on, the app lock and how updates reach you.

## The differences

| How you get it | Google Play, or a download from murudo.co | Open https://murudo.co/app/ |
| Paying | Google Play in the Google Play app. Paynow in the app from murudo.co | Paynow: EcoCash, OneMoney, InnBucks, card or bank |
| Passes renewing | 7-day and 30-day passes renew in the Google Play app only | Passes never renew by themselves |
| Notifications | Android notifications, managed in your phone's settings | Browser notifications, turned on in Settings. On an iPhone, only from the Home Screen |
| App lock | Fingerprint, face or screen lock | None |
| Updates | From Google Play, or a new download from murudo.co | Nothing to update: you get the newest version when you open it |

## What is the same

- Daily, likes, matches, chats and Murudo Meets.
- The selfie check for the **Verified** badge.
- Blocking, reporting, the Safety pages, pausing and deleting your account.
- Murudo Premium. A pass belongs to your account, so it works wherever you log in.

## Which one should I use?

- On an Android phone, use the app if you can. See [How to get Murudo on your phone](https://help.murudo.co/getting-started/get-murudo/).
- On an iPhone, use Murudo Web from your Home Screen. See [Add Murudo to your iPhone Home Screen](https://help.murudo.co/murudo-web/add-murudo-to-your-iphone/).
- On a computer, use Murudo Web. See [Use Murudo on a computer](https://help.murudo.co/murudo-web/use-murudo-on-a-computer/).

You can use more than one with the same login, for example the app on your phone and Murudo Web on a computer.

## Things only Murudo Web has

- **Passkeys**: you can save a passkey in **Settings**, under **Account**. After that, **Continue with passkey** on the log-in screen logs you in without typing your password.
- **Available for Daily Matches**: a switch in **Settings**, under **Discovery Preferences**, that takes you out of Daily or puts you back in.
