Situatie
- First, open the “Settings” app from the “Home” tab on the home screen
- Now go to “Security & Privacy”
- Select “Apps From Unknown Sources”
Find “Silk Browser” and then toggle on “Allow From This Source.” This is what will allow us to install an app from outside of the Amazon app store. With that out of the way, we can start downloading the Play Store files. There are four APK files we will need to get the Play Store up and running, and they’re specific to your Fire Tablet.
To find out which Amazon Fire Tablet model you have, go to Settings > Device Options > About Fire Tablet. You’ll see your “Device Model” name here. To see your Fire OS version, go to Settings > Device Options > System Updates.
With the device model in mind, we can download the appropriate files below. Simply copy and paste the links from the tables below into the Silk Browser on your Amazon Fire tablet. We’re just downloading the files at this point, don’t open them yet.
APK Mirror is a trusted source for downloading APK files. However, some of the ads on APK Mirror are deceptive. Look for the “Download APK” button (shown below) that has a file size. The color of the button will match the app’s icon. You should also see a “Verified safe to install” message near the button.

On the page for your model, select the most recent version of the APK (not “Bundle”) that is not a “beta.”
Google Play Store
Make sure you are downloading an “APK,” not a “Bundle”
- All Models
- Google Play Store (Android 10+, universal, nodpi)
Install the Play Store
- Select “Downloads” from the side menu and switch to the list view for the files. You should see the four files we just downloaded.
- It’s important to install these APKs in a specific order. For each APK, follow this process: Tap the file > select “Continue” > tap the “Install” button. After it installs, tap “Done.” Don’t open the Play Store yet.
Install the files in this order (the file names on your device will be longer):
- com.google.android.gsf.login
- com.google.android.gsf
- com.google.android.gms
- com.android.vending
With all the APKs installed, it’s time to reboot the tablet. Hold down the power button and select “Restart.”
If you’re using the Fire 7 2022 (12th Gen) or a newer Fire tablet running FireOS 8, you may need to manually grant permissions before using the Play Store. Tap and hold the Play Store icon and select “App Info.”
From the App Info page, select “Permissions”.Select both “Phone” and “SMS” and switch them to “Allow.” You can now proceed with the rest of the tutorial.
After following the above instructions, open the Play Store from the home screen and sign in with your Google account. Once you’re signed in, you’ll have a functional Google Play Store, just like on any other Android device. Go forth and download Telegram, Chrome, Gmail, and any other app you can’t find in the Amazon Appstore.
It’s possible that future Fire OS updates may break the functionality of the Play Store. If that happens, we suggest going through the entire install process again and checking if newer APK files are available. If all else fails, you can reset your Fire tablet and start over. You may experience some problems when trying to use the Play Store right away. The Play Store and Google Play Services will automatically update themselves in the background, so just give it some time. This may take as much as ten minutes.
