[br][p]In the age of the now, almost everyone has a smartphone. You have a smartphone. You are probably reading this article on the smartphone. And if you have a smartphone, you must know apps. The different array of apps which range from news to videos, to games to photo editors, to utility apps to launchers. You will, however, never see any associated files or have access to the file which was downloaded. The term simplicity has come a long way, and with our current generation mobile operating systems, we no longer have to content ourselves with the unpleasantness of behind the scenes of app installations and also taken file handling out of the picture.[br][p][br][p]This is a positive thing though considering we do not have to force ourselves to see application files or know where these assets are located. There are exceptions to this, however. What about the time when you are shifting to a new phone and then you realise the app from the old device is not available on the Play Store. Relax, we have a solution.[br][p][br][p]The Android ecosystem actually makes it easy to search for and save application files from your old smartphone and import them to the new smartphone and install them manually. Here's how you can do it.[br][p][br][p]Starting off, you will need to know what an APK file is on your Android. The APK is a short form for Android Application Package. This is the file which you download and then install from the Google Play Store. This is the file you will need to find, save, and then share in order to import the app from one phone to another.[p]However, we must say this: If an application is no longer available on the Play Store, it usually means there will be no updates anymore and may run the risk of being risky or not fully compliant with the current Android standards. This means, using an app which has not been actively updated may be problematic. Additionally, installing apps manually should not be done randomly. All-in-all, we recommend taking up this method only and only if you are okay with the risk here.[p][br][p][strong]Old device:[/strong][ol][li]First, Download APK Extractor Pro from the Play Store. The app comes free of cost, or you can pay 99 cents within the app for an ad-free experience.[/li][li]Open the app, accept terms and conditions, and then allow permissions to access files on the device.[/li][li]Find the app which you want to save and then tap the three-dot menu icon beside it.[/li][li]Select "Share", select destination and then you will be able to access on your other smartphone - like Google Drive, or email if the file is not large.[/li][/ol][p][strong]New Device:[/strong][ol][li]Look for the file on the new phone by opening Drive, or email, or wherever you have saved it. The file will mostly have a long name which starts off with the app's title, and ends with ".apk".[/li][li]Tap on the file to open it. Your phone may show you a warning that it is not allowed to install unknown apps.[/li][li]Now for the important part. For users with Android 8.0 Oreo or above, go to Settings and you will be taken to a screen where you can authorize your phone to install apps specifically from Drive, Gmail, or any other app. On older Android versions, tapping on the Settings app will take you to a screen where you can switch on permissions to allow apps from unknown sources on a system-wide level.[/li][li]Tap on the back button and then follow the instructions and install the application.[/li][li]After the app has been installed, you will see the application icon appear in your app drawer and another prompt which will ask if you want to open the app immediately.[/li][li][br][/li][/ol][p]Source : timesnownews.Com |
