How to Download Google Play Store

If you own an Android phone or tablet, you are aware that Google Play Store is among the most crucial applications. Google Play Store and Google Play Services are technically two separate apps. But the Play Store is the one that occasionally makes it difficult to obtain and install apps.

In other words, without the Play Store, how can you download apps? Additionally, how can you get Google Play Store if you don’t have a source from which to download apps?

Downloading Google Play Store

Thankfully, there are other ways to download apps on an Android smartphone than using the Play Store (if that were the case, and you didn’t have it installed, you’d be pretty much stuck). Applications are just program files for Android devices, quite similar to applications you would install on your PC but with a different file extension.

How to download and install Google Play Store

In general, there are two ways to manually download Google Play Store: either straight to the Android device via the device’s built-in browser software, or to your computer first, then transferring it to your Android with a USB cord.

In both situations, you will have to make a little change to your device in order to enable the installation. Recall how we stated not to blindly download APK files from the Internet unless there is a valid cause (like installing Google Play Store).
