This process is slightly different on newer Fire tablets. Then tap the ‘Security & Privacy category (older models might just say ‘Security’), find the switch for ‘Apps from Unknown Sources,’ and turn it on. If you just got your tablet, it’s probably near the bottom of the list. This allows you to open and install applications from downloaded APK files, which is how we’ll get the Play Store running.įirst, go to the main ‘Home’ page on your home screen and open the Settings app. The first step in this process is to enable apps to be installed from outside the Amazon Appstore. For those applications, you can try finding them on the Amazon Appstore or downloading them on APKMirror. Some apps hide themselves from the Play Store on Fire tablets, because Fire tablets are not SafetyNet-certified by Google (more info here).I haven’t personally tested this, but that’s what many people have reported in the comment section. Apps installed through the Play Store might not work with Amazon FreeTime app management.There is no way to manage a Fire tablet through Google Family Link, even after the Play Store is installed.You can put the card back in once you’re done. If you don’t, the Play Store and its required may be automatically installed to the microSD card, which can cause issues. Remove your tablet’s microSD card if you have one installed.
