Hello,
My kiddo has a fire tablet. We're unable to install chrome, hangout, house party.... e.t.c
How to install these in fire?
Pls advice thx
Is this a brand new Fire tablet? Ever had Amazon tablets before?
Their tablets are limited to only their store. They use a forked version of Android, with their own back-end services. Because of that, they don't use Google for anything. Not Google's Play Services, or their Play Store.
Now, following specific instructions, allowing unofficial installs, downloading four specific apk files from a site like apkpure through the Silk browser, and installing them in the right order, you can get the Google Play Store and Play Services running on the tablet. Then, log into your account and you can download any app from the Play Store to your tablet.
Just know that Amazon does not support this use, and won't help you if you have problems. Google is not responsible either as the tablet will be listed as an uncertified device.
However, I have 3 HD8 tablets in the house, and two of them are running Google Play with no issues. The third is the Kids version with Freetime on it. I could load Google Play on the adult account side, but it won't show up on the kids side, and non-Amazon sourced apps can't be sent to the child account side.
So, that begs the next question. Is the tablet you got the Kids Edition. If so, even if you were able to get Google Play on the adult account side, you wouldn't be able get anything you downloaded over to the Kids sides.
