Capture an Android installation error for COME help

Keep the installer's exact error visible in a help screenshot while removing private information. The wording is more useful than a picture of the download button.

Include the right context

Capture enough of the screen to identify Android's installer and the selected app. Record device model, Android version and file source separately. Do not include the entire browser or account history if it is irrelevant.

Redact carefully

Hide passwords, OTPs, full payment details and unrelated account identifiers. Review notifications that may appear over the error. Keep a private original if needed, and check the edited copy before sending it.

Explain the preceding action

Say whether the file completed and whether this was a first installation or update. A screenshot alone cannot show all prior steps. Keep Play Protect enabled and do not reproduce a warning by installing an untrusted variant.

A useful next step

Send the focused explanation only through the current service or device-help route appropriate to the error.
