Install an APK File on Android

Allow Unknown Apps on Android
Before you can install an APK file through Chrome, Files by Google, a file manager, or any other app, you must give that app permission to do so. This is done through a toggle in the Settings app.
Specific steps may differ based on the operating system version you're running, but the basic process will be the same.

1. Open the Settings app and tap Apps or Apps & Notifications.
2. Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner or scroll to bottom. If you don't see that, skip down to the next step.
3. Tap Special access, or Special app access on some Android devices.
4. Tap Install unknown apps.
5. Tap Chrome (or whichever web browser you use).
6. Switch the toggle next to Allow from this source so it turns on.

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.
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.
