# Getting started

This guide walks you through your first session on the Decentraland mobile app.

## 1. Install the app

Install Decentraland from your phone's app store:

* [App Store (iOS)](https://apps.apple.com/app/decentraland/id6478403840?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=internal\&utm_content=ios)
* [Google Play (Android)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.decentraland.godotexplorer\&pcampaignid=web_share\&utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=internal\&utm_content=android)

## 2. Sign in

Open the app and sign in. You can use the same account you use on desktop — your avatar, inventory, friends, and progress all come with you.

If this is your first time in Decentraland, you can create a new account from inside the app.

## 3. Customize your avatar

New users are invited to set up an avatar the first time they sign in. Returning users keep the avatar from their existing account. Either way, you can change your look at any time from the profile menu — see [Customizing Your Avatar](/in-world/customizing-your-avatar.md) for the full guide.

## 4. Choose where to go

The mobile app's **Discover** section is the easiest way to find places to hang out. It surfaces curated scenes and worlds that are designed to work well on mobile, including live events, games, and social spaces.

You can also:

* Search for a specific scene or world by name
* Visit a world by its name (e.g. `myworld.dcl.eth`)
* Jump to a friend's location

## 5. Get moving

Once you're in the world, use the on-screen controls to move and interact. The full reference is in [Controls](/mobile-app/controls.md).
