To send apps between Android devices, you can use various methods depending on your preferences and the available tools. Here are some common methods:
Using Nearby Share (Android Beam)
Nearby Share is a feature on Android devices that allows you to share apps, files, and other content with nearby Android devices via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct. Here’s how to use it:
- On both devices, ensure that Bluetooth and Location services are enabled.
- Open the “Settings” app on both devices.
- Scroll down and tap on “Google” or “Google Services” (depending on your Android version).
- Search for “Nearby Share” and click on it.
- On the sending device, tap “Send” and select the app you want to send.
- On the receiving device, tap “Receive.”
- Once connected, the sending device can tap on the receiving device’s name to send the app.
- On the receiving device, you’ll receive a notification to accept the app transfer.
- Tap “Accept” to begin the transfer.
Using a Third-Party App (Shareit, Send Anywhere)
There are third-party apps like Shareit and Send Anywhere that allow you to send apps and other files between Android devices. Here’s a general guide of how these apps work:
- Install the same third-party app on both Android devices (e.g., Shareit, Send Anywhere).
- Open the app on both devices.
- On the sending device, select the app you want to send.
- Look for an option to “Send” or “Share” the app.
- The app will generate a QR code, PIN, or a sharing link.
- On the receiving device, use the QR code, PIN, or link to initiate the transfer.
- Accept the transfer on the receiving device, and the app will be sent.
- Once the transfer is complete, you can install the app on the receiving device.
Third-party apps may have varying features and interfaces, so the exact steps might differ. Always exercise caution when using third-party apps and ensure they are from reputable sources.
