   Install an APK File on Android 

   The easiest way to install an APK file on your Android is to download the file using the default browser, Chrome. Other web browsers definitely work, just make sure to give them the same permission described above. Here's how to install APK files through Chrome:

   1. On the download page for the APK file, simply tap the download option like you'd download any file.

      Only download APK files from reputable sources. A quick Google search can help determine if an app or its developer has a questionable reputation. We provide some recommendations at the bottom of this page.

   2. Accept any prompts you might see about the file being potentially harmful. For example, tap Download anyway or OK.

   3. Once the APK is downloaded to your device, it's time to install the app. In Chrome, tap the three-dot menu button, then choose Downloads to see the file. You can also use a file manager if you prefer to install apps that way.

   4. Tap the file name followed by Install. After a few moments, the app will be fully installed and show up next to all your other apps.

      

      Tip: APK files can take up loads of space. Delete your downloads when you're finished with them to free up storage. Doing this will not delete the app.
