Note: If you are able to download and install applications on your device without help, this means you have administrative control over your device. You can install WalkMe onto your device yourself using the guidance above.

If you are prompted to enter unknown administrative credentials when downloading or installing applications, this means you're likely on a device that is either managed by ITS or managed by your local IT department. Please contact your IT provider to request help installing WalkMe on your device.
