Do you have questions about the TWS Mobile App for Android?
| Android Smartphone & Tablet | |
| Device | Any Google Android certified* device running at least one of the OS versions below. |
| Operating System | Android OS 6.0 or higher |
| Account | In order to make trades, you must have a confirmed and funded account. Interested parties who are not FXFlat customers can log into TWS Mobile to use a demo version for mobile devices. |
TWS Mobile uses IB's Secure Login system, this
is a two-factor authentication to secure your account from
unwanted access. Use a dedicated security device or secure
your data using unique security features such as your
fingerprint or a PIN of your own choosing.
Please note that TWS Mobile uses your mobile network for
communication purposes in phases and may incur increased
data usage charges for roaming connections.
*Only Android-compatible devices licensed through the Google
Mobile Service (GMS) are able to install the TWS Mobile app
from the Google Play Store.
Android only considers applications that come from the Android Market to be 100% safe. However, you can install TWS Mobile from the FXFlat website or your computer by opening the application settings for your phone and checking the "Unknown sources" checkbox. After that, you can install applications from sources other than Android Market.
If TWS Mobile goes into the background (for example, when you answer an incoming call), you can restore it by clicking the IB TWS application icon or by long-pressing the Home button. Note that in the latter case, TWS Mobile may not be one of the currently running applications, especially if it was running in the background for a long time. This is perfectly normal, as Android automatically shuts down inactive applications when it needs resources.
If you are upgrading to the production version
of TWS Mobile for the first time, which contains a version
higher than version 0.1.132, you must first uninstall Beta
TWS Mobile and then reinstall the production version. If you
receive a notice to upgrade while logged in, click Upgrade
to go to the TWS Mobile page in the Android Market. Here,
select Uninstall and follow the process to uninstall TWS
Mobile. Once the uninstall is complete, you can select
Install on the TWS Mobile page in Android Market. If you do
not see the Uninstall button on the Android Market page, you
will need to manually uninstall the following procedure.
Uninstall:
- From the phone's home screen, access the Settings menu.
- Select "Applications" and then "Manage applications".
- Select the Mobile TWS application and click Uninstall.
If Mobile TWS has been uninstalled, run the application file or reinstall it from Android Market.
For security reasons, TWS Mobile automatically
logs off after 20 minutes of inactivity (TWS Mobile is
considered inactive if it is not visible on the screen or
the screen is turned off). If you are logged in as a
registered user, you can shorten this period to one minute
for added security. To do this, open the >Configuration
option in the main TWS Mobile window and select
>Automatic logout.
When the Mobile TWS has logged off automatically, a
notification with IB logo is displayed in the Android
taskbar. Clicking on the notification from the Mobile TWS in
the Android notification bar reactivates the Mobile TWS.
The TWS Mobile login does not support passwords longer than eight characters. If your password is longer, please enter only the first eight characters. Or reset your TWS password to a maximum of eight characters in Account Management. To reset your password, log in to Account Management on the IB website. In the User Management section, select Password.
If Customer Service has asked you to upload your log file, this is most effectively done before you log in again, as the log is deleted immediately after you log in. To upload the log file BEFORE you log in to IB TWS:
- From the Login menu, select Upload Log.
To upload the log file if you are already logged in to IB TWS:
- From the Configuration screen, select Upload Log.
To upload the log file from another screen
within the IB TWS application:
Type uploadlog (case-insensitive), and you will be presented
with the log upload dialog box where you can provide a
description of the problem and attach a screenshot to the
package to be sent to IB Support. Notice that you don't see
any upload log letters on the screen as you type them. If
you see what you are typing (the input focus is in an
editable field), the link to upload the log will not work.
You need to move the focus for it to work. If your phone
does not have a physical keyboard, you can always access the
software keyboard by long pressing the menu button.
In cases where you cannot upload your log file using the
above procedure, you can manually view, copy and email the
file. Simply locate the log file in the configuration, copy
the file, and email it to aTWS@interactivebrokers.com.
When you log in to your IB TWS application,
all other TWS sessions are automatically logged out. If you
are logged into TWS and your Internet connection is
interrupted, you do not have to wait for TWS to time out.
When you log in to IB TWS, the existing session is logged
off. Note that IB TWS offers more limited trading options
than the full Internet version of TWS.
Several account types are not yet supported in IB TWS, including institutional accounts, G accounts (guaranteed dollars), and OATS-reportable accounts. If you have one of these account configurations, you will not be able to trade your IB account through the IB TWS application.

legacy versions.
