How to Install Google Play Store on Amazon Fire

Amazon comes with its own exclusive app store pre-installed on all its devices, including Fire tablets. However, the app selection here is somewhat limited. Since Fire OS is based on a customized version of Android, you can download the necessary files for the Google Play Store and install it on your device. All you need is an Amazon Fire tablet, a Google account, and four required APK files.

Open the Settings app on your Fire Tablet. Swipe down the notification bar and tap the gear icon.

Click on "Device Options". This option is located near the bottom of the page.

Ensure your device is updated. Tap on "System Updates" and make sure your device has the latest version installed.

• If your device hasn't been updated, you should do so now.

Find "Device Model". This section displays your device's model and version. Keep this information handy, as you'll need it to download the appropriate files based on your Fire OS version.

Go back to the main Settings menu. Tap the back arrow at the top-left corner of the screen to return to the main Settings menu.

Click on the "Privacy and Security" tab. This option is located in the middle of the page.

Enable "Apps from Unknown Sources". Scroll down to the "Advanced" section. Tap the slider next to "Apps from Unknown Sources" to turn it on.

• You will receive a warning about installing apps from unknown sources. Tap OK.

Determine the version of the file you need. The file has two versions: 64-bit and 32-bit. The version you need to download depends on your Fire OS version.

• If you're using Fire OS 6 or later, download the 64-bit file.
• If you're using Fire OS 5 or earlier, download the 32-bit file.

Download the Google Account Manager file. Select the version suitable for your tablet and click the red DOWNLOAD APK button.
