### How do I install applications and plugins?
|
||||||
|
> As of Firmware v0.87.0, applications can be easily side-loaded on the MicroSD card. These can be installed via the [Flipper mobile app](https://docs.flipper.net/mobile-app), or the online catalog at [https://lab.flipper.net/apps](https://lab.flipper.net/apps).
|
||||||
> Recently, in the 0.87.0, a catalog app has been released. You can download from it a lot of applications through the mobile application, or through this links on your computer :

|
|
||||||
- [https://flipc.org/](https://flipc.org/)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> Assuming the application has been packaged as a `.fap` file, installing it is as easy as placing it inside the `apps` directory on your Flipper's SD card. You can launch the app from the `Applications` app. If the app hasn't been compiled into a `.fap`, either *kindly* ask the author or compile it yourself.

### Will there be future hardware revisions?
|
||||||
> Technically speaking, there's going to be a **very minor** hardware revision in the near future. Functionally speaking, it will be identical to every other Flipper Zero already sold. The revision only replaces a few internal components and doesn't offer any new features compared to existing devices, so don't bother waiting to buy it.
|
> Regarding the Flipper Zero, no. There was a minor hardware revision in 2023 to address component shortages, but this changed nothing functionally.
|
||||||
> Besides that, there are concepts for a [Flipper One](https://flipperzero.one/one), but without a timeline for release.
|
> There are plans for a new device called the Flipper Nano, which is solely focused on being a hub for GPIO devices. It will not feature any internal radios (Sub-GHz, NFC, RFID, IR, etc.) like the Flipper Zero does, but will have double the GPIO pins. Check out [this video by Talking Sasquach](https://youtu.be/WB86ZOI6DAw) for more information.
|
||||||
|
> Long ago, there were concepts for a 'Flipper One,' which was rumored to be something akin to a Pi Zero with an SDR running Kali, however there's been no information nor confirmation of its development for quite some time.

### What is Dummy Mode?
|

> Currently, it only allows the Snake game to be opened when active. In the future, it will hide every app except games, in case your device is ever inspected or seized.
|
> Dummy mode is a basic toggle to make the Flipper appear like a hand-held toy/game device by remapping the buttons to launch specific apps from the desktop instead of opening the app list.
