Downloading and installing Android apps on your BlackBerry device
You can now get apps and games designed for Android smartphones and install them on your BlackBerry device!
You can find and download 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 have not been 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.
Move an app around the home screen
You can move the app icons to different places on the home screen so they are where you want them to be. For instance, if
you're right-handed, you can arrange your frequently used apps on the right side of the screen. Then when you're using
your BlackBerry device with one hand, it's easier to open those apps.
1. On the home screen, touch and hold an app icon until all of the icons start to blink.
2. Drag the icon to a different location on the home screen and release your finger.
