Create an Amazon account or sign in with your existing Amazon account to search for apps and
download apps from the Amazon Appstore.
After you download an app from the Amazon Appstore, tap Install at the top of the screen. You can also
check out the Help screen in the Amazon Appstore for more info.
Downloading and installing Android apps from other sources
In addition to using BlackBerry World and the Amazon Appstore to download apps and games, you can
also get Android apps and games from various third-party websites and mobile market apps. Most
websites and mobile market apps include an installation button that appears after you download an
Android app file. You can also install an app file by opening it in the File Manager app on your
BlackBerry device.
If you can't find an app file that you downloaded, you can search for the app name in the File Manager
app. Most Android apps include the file name extension .apk. To search for all the Android app files that
you downloaded, try searching the File Manager app for .apk.
CAUTION:
Apps that you install from sources other than BlackBerry World might not be reviewed by BlackBerry.
These apps might pose a risk to your device and personal data. You should only install apps from
trusted sources.
While most apps designed for Android smartphones can be installed and opened on BlackBerry devices,
some apps might make use of services that are not supported by BlackBerry 10 OS. BlackBerry 10 OS
might also replace these services with alternate services (such as mapping services).
If you don't want to accept these potential risks and limitations, you should not install apps from sources
other than BlackBerry World.
Change your Android app installation settings
1.
On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2.
Tap Settings > App Manager > Installing Apps.
3.
Do any of the following:
• To allow the installation of Android apps from sources other than the Amazon Appstore, turn on
the Allow Apps from Other Sources to be Installed switch.
• To stop inspecting Android apps and identify apps that are potentially harmful to your device or
data, turn off the Inspect Apps Before Installing switch.
Navigating within an Android app
In Android apps, you can show or hide an action bar at the bottom of the screen or you can quickly go
