Truth Social, the social media platform created by former President Donald Trump, has soared to the top of the Android app download charts after finally being allowed in the Google Play Store this week.
Upon becoming available, Truth Social quickly launched to the top of Android’s app downloads, making it not just the top social media app, but the most popular app in the Play Store overall, according to data from Sensor Tower.
Truth Social has been available for iPhone users through the App Store since February, but Google had blocked the app from its Play Store for the majority of the year.

They want to send a text to my flip phone, which doesn’t receive texts, when it clearly said they’d send it to the “same device” I was using to create the account. This is the same wall I hit last time tried to create an account. Someone there doesn’t know how to send simple email. DJT’s webmaster could fix it if he knew. the problem.
Which leads one to wonder if and how many subversives in the organization are sabotaging it.
I installed it on my phone, but it claims it is sending an SMS to verify my phone and never does. Solution?
I’m thinking you’re right.
It's fairly easy (and free) for an individual to set up hundreds of unique email addresses. However, it's very cost prohibitive to purchase a lot of cell phone lines. This is one of the reasons why Truth Social wants to tie your account to a unique cellphone number.
It stinks for people like you who only have a flip-phone but I cut Truth some slack here because they have a lot of enemies that want to shut them down or otherwise prevent them from becoming successful.
I know there are techie workaround for this, such as using a VPN and extracting the verification code out of HTML code (that is linked to your flip phone number) but I'm thinking because you have a flip phone to begin with, this is probably not something you would have the skills for (this is beyond my skill level as well).
Hopefully Truth Social can do a workaround for people in your situation. You might want to try emailing their support team at support@truthsocial.com.
Good luck.
Many thanks for your cogent explanation; now it makes sense why they won’t allow email. I don’t have the skillset to do that workaround either, so I’ll just have to watch from the sidelines.
I have repeatedly downloaded Truth Social to computer and phone and it will NOT let me register. It simply does NOT work. How sad.
The article said the fact that TruthSocial soared to top of Goolag downloaded apps shows people were waiting for it. Be interesting to see jump in number of TruthSocial users next week.
Very sad. Please see posts #22 and 23.
Thank you for your information and perspective. It’s helpful.
I have a modern smart phone. Should come through. Someone is deliberately tanking them. You would think they could fix it.
The thing that bothers me about Truth Social is it blocks me when I’m using a VPN. I don’t want to drop that protective firewall to view TS.
The file and instructions can be found HERE
This is a link to TruthSocial. I downloaded the file and scanned it with ClamAV. No threats were found.
Same here.
I don’t go to it often, but it’s nonetheless a direct path to Trump’s up-to-the-minute messaging.
Never much used Twitter.
The work around needs to be on their end. “Device detection” is common practice now and also fairly easy to set up on their end. This is all they need to prevent multiple accounts from one device. Bots would have to use a different PC device for every account.
To create an account, I use the desktop browser, Opera. They want to send an SMS code to my phone, which is an old flip phone and doesn’t accept texts or messaging, so I can’t get any further than that point.
I can get to this point and they want to send a “verification code” to my phone:
Verification code
We sent you a 6-digit code via SMS. Enter it below.
Resend verification code?
The End.
