How To Install APK File From a Browser

2. Go to an APK download site. In your web browser, either type in the name of the app you want to download followed by apk (e.g., “soundcloud apk”), or go to a website that you know hosts APK downloads.
   E.g APKCabal.com.ng is a popular & reputable site which you can download APK files.

4. Tap OK when prompted. Doing so will confirm that you want to download the APK file and begin downloading it onto your Android.

   Select the APK you want to download.
   Tap the APK’s name or the Download button (depending on the site).
   Wait for the APK file to finish downloading.
   Open your Android’s file manager app. Tap the app icon for your Android’s file manager app in the App Drawer to do so.
2. Select your Android’s default storage. Depending on where your Android stores its downloaded files by default, tap either the hard drive or the SD card name. This will open a list of folders on your Android. If you see a Downloads option on the main page, tap that and then skip the next step.
3. Tap Download. It’s a blue folder in the middle of the page.

How To Install APK File From Your Computer

There are many sources to install APK file across the web, but be sure to choose a site you trust. Generally speaking, APK files found on ApkCabal.com.ng should be safer to download than from elsewhere.

1. First, you must find an APK file you want. Search online for an APK file and download it to an easy-to-find location on your computer (like your desktop).
2. Before you can install it on your phone you will need to make sure that third-party apps are allowed on your device.
3. Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources to allow your phone to install apps from sources other than the Google Play Store.
4. Newer versions of Android do things a little differently. Rather than check a global setting to allow installation from unknown sources, you’ll be prompted to allow your browser or file manager to install APKs the first time you attempt to do so.
