With the final now upon us, the time has officially come to boot up the Love Island voting app and select which of our four remaining couples you want to see come out on top...

Over the last eight weeks, season 10 has been giving since day dot (some classic Love Island phrases for ya!), from unexpected twists and madder-than-mad moves to some truly nail-biting vote-offs—courtesy of us, the viewers. In fact, the power was left in our hands on multiple occasions, from selecting the OG couples to the Grafties nominees but now, we have one last, rather important decision to make.

Yes, the time has now come to choose which of your fave couples you want to see win Love Island 2023—so, you better get the app downloaded (if you haven't already) and get familiar with all the deets on the final voting processes.

How to vote for the 'Love Island' winners?

The vote, Love Island UK 2023's final one of the series, is still currently open to choose your winners and will likely remain that way until about halfway through the live final—but don't delay, in case you miss your chance to have your say!

To cast your vote, simply open the Love Island voting app and click vote, located at the bottom of your screen, in the middle.

Then select the option 'vote now' which will take you to ITV's Love Island website. Before voting, you will be asked to agree to ITV's terms and conditions and then you can go ahead and select either your winning couple. Remember, each viewer only gets one vote, so choose wisely...

If you've not yet downloaded the app, keep on reading as we outline the whole process—and for anyone not yet caught up on all of season 10's antics, here's how to watch Love Island UK ahead of the final.

Can you have multiple Love Island votes?

Sadly the answer is no. As much as we'd love to vote repeatedly for our favorite islanders—each viewer is only allowed to vote once. So, now that the final is here, be sure to choose wisely as every vote counts!

This is actually different from previous years when the ITV Love Island voting app did allow viewers to submit up to five different votes.

How do you get the ITV2 'Love Island' voting app?

For those who have not yet been wielding their voting powers—all you need to do is head over to the Google Store or Apple store (depending on your phone's make) and search ‘Love Island’ and download the option by ITV PLC, which is free to install.

Then open the app and enter your date of birth—from there you’re free to shop all the Love Island gifts and merch, interact with polls and be the first to watch the Love Island First Look teaser video, as it’s uploaded to the app first!

How to vote on the Love Island app?

As mentioned, when the voting is open for the show, simply open your app and click the ‘Vote’ icon at the bottom of the screen.

The app will then take you to the ITV Love Island website, where you will be asked to enter your mobile number. Once you have done that, a code will be sent to your phone to then enter on the website and then you’re free to cast your vote!

When do you need to vote on the 'Love Island' voting app?

The voting app comes into play throughout the season, letting fans vote for the couples they want to save from dumping and which pair they want to see go on a date. The app also allows you to vote for your winner, when the final finally rolls around.

In terms of voting to save your favorite islander during the show's run, the public votes are usually announced at the end of an episode, with Ian Stirling reminding viewers to have their say. Once the vote is declared open, ordinarily you will have just 15 minutes (for the final you get longer) to make your decision and confirm your vote—meaning if you're watching on-demand, you won't be able to vote.
