Android app support
Get apps and games designed for Android smartphones and install them on your BlackBerry device with
the Amazon Appstore!
Your device uses BlackBerry Guardian to check the integrity of the Android apps you download to your
device. BlackBerry Guardian can warn you if the app is potentially harmful to your device or data, and
gives you the option to cancel or continue the installation.
Android apps that you download to your device are more closely integrated with the BlackBerry 10 OS.
When you tap the share icon in an Android app, you can share the Android app content with contacts
that are associated with other apps on your device (for example,
BBM contacts) or share the information
with another app (for example, the BlackBerry Remember app). Also, on the Accounts screen, you can
view accounts that are associated with some Android apps that you download to your device.

Updated look and feel
Splashes of color, flattened buttons and screen layouts, and new wallpaper and icons – these are some
of the elements you will notice with the fresh new look of BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.
Modernized visual elements help you navigate your BlackBerry device and improve your productivity
within apps. In the apps installed with the BlackBerry 10 OS, the action bar at the bottom of the screen
uses color to highlight the next, or next best action. Icons for key tasks remain visible in the action bar to
help you stay productive and get work done. In some apps, for example Adobe Reader, the action bar
disappears when you scroll, giving you a full-screen view of the content.
On the home screen you can see your open apps, and when you swipe left you can see all your apps.
By default, when no apps are open, the home screen displays only your wallpaper. There is no
restriction on the number of apps you can add to folders on the home screen.
