Google Play store installs apps directly on your device and does not allow you to download APK files. In this post we will show you how to download and install APK files directly from Google Play instead of going to third party sites.

Why APK Files Instead of apps

Here are some reasons as to why you may want to download APK files from Google Play, instead of directly downloading apps as most regular folks do.

1. Your Phone may be short on space, in which you are left with the option of downloading APK files for the apps on your computer (since you cannot download apps to a computer)

2. Some apps have country restrictions and you won’t be able to download them directly to your phone. In this case you can download APK files on your computer and install it on your device later.
