# Setting Up Manual Encryption Mode on Android

#### Add, import, transfer, search & manage existing PGP keys via Canary Mail's Key Manager.

You must use the Manual encryption mode (PGP) in Canary Mail if:

1) You plan on using your existing PGP keys generated via other apps / tools such as GPGTools, Symantec Encryption Desktop etc.

2) You prefer to manage your encryption manually, using your existing PGP keys instead of [SecureSend](/content/help/securesend-what-is-it-how-does-it-work-canary/index.html).

On an Android Device, you can select Manual Encryption Mode via Canary Mail > Settings > Security > Encryption  Mode > PGP.

1. To import your keys to Canary Mail, you must first export them to your Android device from your current app / tool as a .asc file.
2. After transferring the keys, open Key Manager in Canary Mail for Android via Canary Mail > Settings > Security > Encryption Mode > PGP > Keys:

3. Now, click on Import > Browse and select the keys you want to add to the Key Manager.

4. You can also create keys in Canary Mail via Import > Generate Key.
