Google Play Store: Install incompatible apps on Android device || Shani King

How to make android app compatible with all devices?

You cannot simply install incompatible Android apps from the Google Play Store. We’ll show you how you can still download and use the blocked apps.

Install incompatible Android apps – the requirements

Surely you know the problem: The app you want is not compatible with your device or is not available in Pakistan. But with a little trick you can also download these apps from the Play Store. You should consider the following things:
  • Make sure your Android device is rooted. This practical tip shows you how to root your smartphone or tablet .
  • Allow apps from unknown sources: To do this, tap on the “Security” menu item in the settings and activate the “Unknown sources” checkbox.

Download incompatible apps with the Market Helper

With the “Market Helper” you can now change the identity of your device or pretend to the Google Play Store that you are in another country.

  • Start the Android app and enter your Gmail address under “Select Account”.
  • You will now receive a superuser request. Agree to allow Market Helper to access the Google Play Store.
  • Under “Select Device”, select whether the identity of your Android device should be a smartphone or tablet. Then choose a model with which the app you want is compatible.
  • Under “Select Operator” you also set your country. “United States” gives you access to most apps. You can easily leave “AT&T” at the provider. Agree with “Activate”.
  • You will receive a message that your device has now been activated on Google. Log in with your Google account to open the Play Store.
You can now download all apps that are compatible with your specified device. However, you should keep in mind that not every app will work on your device.

Download incompatible apps: these other options are available

In addition to the Market Helper, there are other ways to download incompatible apps on Android.
  • A fairly simple alternative to installing such apps is to download the APK files . To do this, search for the file of the app on the Internet and download it. Afterwards, the Android installation window should open automatically and you must press “Install”. You should now be able to use the app on your smartphone.
  • Always make sure that no fees are charged by the respective website. There is a high likelihood of fraud, because APK files are usually available for free.
  • Another option is to use a VPN . With the  VPN  you can change your location and thus deceive the Google Play Store. If the incompatibility is at your location, you can help yourself so easily.
  • To do this, install a VPN and set it up . As soon as there is a stable VPN connection on your smartphone, open the app in the Google Play Store and download it.
  • Instead of downloading the app from the Google Play Store, you can also  search for the app in  alternative app stores and load it if necessary. Because in addition to Google, large companies like Samsung also offer their own app stores, in this case the Galaxy Apps . Simply search for other app stores on the Internet and check the availability of the app you are looking for in the store.
  • Finally, you should check your  Android version . Because one reason for the incompatibility of an app can be outdated software for which the app is no longer adapted.
  • To do this, open the settings of your smartphone and check under “Software update” whether a new Android version is available. If available, you should make the update.
