How to download and install the Play Market
The Play Market service is installed directly on a smartphone via an Internet browser. If this is not possible, you can download it first to a personal computer, and from there transfer it to a phone connected via a USB cable. Let's take a closer look at these methods.
Installing the Play Market through a built-in application on Chinese smartphones
In China, there is no support for Google services and, accordingly, the Play Market. Therefore, in Chinese smartphones, this application is not included in the standard Android assembly. However, one of the store's analogues can be installed in them, from which you can download the Play Market.
The instruction in this case is as follows:
- Find an analogue application of the Play Market service on your smartphone.
- Open it and enter it in Google Play, Play Market or Installer search.
- When the search gives you the application you are looking for, click on the green button next to it.
- Then the installation will start, wait for it to complete.

Installing the Play Market through the built-in browser
If your device has a built-in browser, then you can download the Play Market directly from there.
You will need to follow these steps:
- Find and download the Play Market through the built-in browser of your smartphone.
- Now the app needs to be installed. To do this, open the Android settings and go to the "Security" tab.
- Allow the installation of applications from unknown sources by moving the slider next to the corresponding option. If a security warning appears after this, ignore.
- Now find the downloaded app on your device and install it. The process will start and end automatically.

Installing Play Market via computer
If for some reason you are unable to download the Play Market to your smartphone, then you should use this method. Follow the instructions:
How to register an account in the Play Market
Play Market is now installed on your device. However, to use it and get all the Google services you need, you need to create an account.
There is no personal Play Market account as such, there is a universal Google account - one for all services provided by the company (Youtube, Gmail, Google, Play Market and others). If you are already registered on one of these services, you can use the login and password from his account.
If you are not registered with any of the Google services, then you need to create a new account as follows:
- Go to your phone settings and select the "Accounts" tab.
- Accounts from all applications in which you are registered will be presented here. Select "Add Account".
- Select Google from the list that appears.
- Then click on the line "Or create a new account".
- Enter your first and last name to create a personal account.
- You will then be asked to provide your gender and date of birth. By analogy with the previous paragraph, you can indicate invalid data. If you set a date of birth that would make you less than 18 years old, some videos on YouTobe will not be available to you and Google Safe Search will be automatically activated. Also, this information will affect the ads shown to you on Google services.
- Now come up with a username for your account.
- Now come up with a strong password.
- Next, enter your region and phone number to facilitate interaction with Google services in certain situations. You can change this data later in the settings of an already created account.
The region you select depends on the currency in which you will see the prices for the paid Google services.
- If you provided a phone number, a message with a code will be sent to it for verification - enter it to verify your identity.
If your account is compromised or your password is lost, your phone number will help you regain access to Google.
- In the next step, you need to agree with the license agreement and confirm the registration of your account. This item is the last one during registration, so if you want to change anything in the specified data, return to the desired item using the "Back" button on your device.
- At this step, registration is complete and your Google account has been successfully created.
- Upon completion of registration, a message will appear in which you will be asked to link a payment card. This is an optional item, so you can skip it.

Google's official Play Market provides its users with a wide range of free and paid apps. This is a really necessary and useful service in the life of a modern person. Installing the Play Market does not require much effort and knowledge, so even an inexperienced smartphone owner can handle it. To use the service itself, you need a Google account, which is also easy to create if you don't already have one. And if an account is hacked, its owner has simple tools to restore access.
Since Android is the brainchild of Google, you can enter the app store only if you have Gmail. First, let's take a look at the account registration.
We have created an account. This can be done both in advance and from your phone or tablet when you first turn it on. Everything is very simple there - this is done during phone setup. You need to connect to Wi-Fi or a mobile network, then click " register an account»And follow the instructions on the screen. If the mail is ready in advance, just enter your data and that's it.

Auto-update apps and alerts
To save traffic and device memory, you need to immediately designate auto-update applications only throughWi-Fi, always (that is, through the mobile network too) or never.
It's also important to set up notifications on the device. You can select alerts for updates, promotions and offers, or upcoming games that might interest you.
Parental control
If the phone was presented to a child, it would be appropriate to set restrictions on content from the app store. This can be done using parental controls.

The modern version of Android and Play Market has an instant launch function that allows before installation, determinewhether you like the app or not. In my opinion, this is a very useful feature that you might find useful. And it turns on quite simply - you just need to put a tick “on” on the corresponding item in the settings.
If Play Market is not installed on your phone, you do not have access to a huge store of applications for mobile devices. Only in the official store you will find a huge number of games, programs and updates for them. Don't be intimidated by the word "store", a significant part of the applications are available for free or "shareware".
Usually, when buying a phone or tablet of a well-known brand, Play Market is already installed on the device. But it happens that having bought a device from a less popular manufacturer, you will not find the application store icons. Then this instruction for installing it on your android will come in handy.
Step 1. Installation
To install Play Market on your device, you first need to provide the device with Internet access.
Then you need to download the "Play_Market_7.4.09_install.apk" file. Do it at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw7wAPK2PGTlOXNOZEthaWN5a3c/view.
To install it on your phone or tablet, go to "Settings", select "Security" and check the box next to "Unknown sources". By this action you agree to download the file.
Next, you need to find the downloaded file. It is usually located in your device's Downloads folder. Run "Play_Market_7.4.09_install.apk" and, following the instructions on the screen, install Play Market on your android. You can read how to run apk-files in our separate.
Step 2. Registration
Before downloading games and programs from the official app store, there is very little left. You need to register with Google. If you have an account, skip the second step and just log into it.
To register an account, find the “Play Market” icon that appears on the device desktop. Click on it.
The first step is to come up with a unique name (login) for your Google account.
The second step will be to enter the password. Write it down or remember it. It doesn't have to be simple, contain only small or large letters, repeated characters, or all of the above. For example, passwords like "sasha1991", "qwerty123456", "Aa12345" are very light. But the combinations "o8mbXslT" or "RoMZqXcj6GPa" will already be difficult to find, which dramatically increases the security of your account.
Step 3. Use
After completing registration in the Play Store, we recommend that you restart your phone and wait 5-10 minutes for downloading the necessary files in automatic mode. Installation completed! Now millions of entertainment and educational applications are available to you!
