To install FNF mods on mobile, you are primarily installing pre-existing mods rather than creating them from scratch.
What you need to install fnf mods on mobile
Mobile modding for Friday Night Funkin' means downloading and installing mods that others have already made. The official Friday Night Funkin' mobile app is a requirement for installing these mods. Depending on your device, the process differs: Android users can use a dedicated installer app, iOS users rely on the Files app, and some mods are playable directly in a mobile browser without any download.
How to install FNF mods on Android
- Download the FNF Mod Installer application from Google Play.
- Open the app and select the option to load a mod from a zip file or folder.
- If needed, edit the mod's JSON file using the built-in editor to adjust settings or compatibility.
- Once loaded, the mod will be placed into the correct game folders automatically.
This approach lets you experience custom content, including new characters, songs, and storylines, on your smartphone or tablet.
How to install FNF mods on iOS
- Download the mod file to your iPhone or iPad.
- Use the built-in Files app to unpack the mod archive.
- Copy the unpacked mod folder into the "mods" directory located inside the Friday Night Funkin' application folder.
- Launch the game and the mod should appear in the mods list.
Many popular FNF mods have been adapted to be compatible with mobile platforms, so you can find a wide selection to install this way.
Playing FNF mods in your mobile browser
Some FNF mods are available as web-based ports that require no download or installation. You can open your mobile browser and play these directly. These are often found on fan sites that host browser-compatible versions of popular mods, offering a quick way to try new content without using storage space.
Creating your own FNF mods on iPad with hyperPad
For those interested in building mods rather than just installing them, the hyperPad platform provides a no-code way to design, build, and share FNF mods on iPad. The creation workflow involves downloading the app, using its tutorials, planning your mod's content, creating or importing assets like characters, backgrounds, and music with hyperPad's tools, building the mod, and then testing it. Once completed, you can share your mod with both the hyperPad community and the broader FNF modding community. Additionally, a "FNF Chart Editor (MOBILE ONLY)" mod exists on GameBanana, indicating tools for charting notes directly on mobile devices are available. For editing game assets and code directly, you can use mobile-friendly code/script editors like Acode or QuickEdit.
What the official FNF team is planning for mobile modding
The Funkin' Crew's dev blog has introduced an official in-game Mod Menu and stated they "really want to make our modding system as robust as possible on every platform. This includes you Mobile!" They hope to eventually have a "Click to Install" button on external websites like GameBanana for mobile convenience. This focus is on the installation and management of mods within the game, rather than the creation of mods on mobile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are FNF mods safe to install on my phone?
Mods from trusted sources like GameBanana or the official FNF community are generally safe. Always download from reputable sites and avoid APK files from unknown sources, as they could contain malware.

Are there any specific requirements or limitations for creating FNF mods on mobile?
Device processing power, storage capacity, screen size, and touch controls are all limiting factors when creating FNF mods on mobile.
How much storage space do FNF mods take up?
Mod sizes vary widely. Your phone's storage will limit how many mods you can have installed at once.
How can I test and play the FNF mods I create on mobile?
You need to replace files in the game's directory. It is recommended to back up your original game files first.
Where can I find trusted FNF mods to download?
GameBanana is the primary hub for FNF mods, including mobile-compatible versions. The official FNF community Discord and modding documentation also provide links to vetted mods. Avoid random third-party websites that offer "all-in-one" mod packs.

Reddit, modding Discord communities, and YouTube are good places to find tutorials and resources.
