How to Set Up an Amazon Fire Tablet to Install the Google Play Store

You must manually install the Google Play Store software and its dependencies on an Amazon Fire Tablet by downloading them from a reliable website like APKMirror.com. 

Although it is not officially available, Google's Play Store functions flawlessly on Fire tablets. The Amazon Fire Tablets run a customized version of Android called Fire OS, but they also limit you to using the Amazon Appstore. 

With Google Play Store installed, you can access millions of Android apps and games, including Google programs like Google Maps, Gmail, Chrome, and more.

The fact that installing the Play Store on your Fire Tablet does not need any complex "hacking," such as rooting the device or executing PC programs, is its strongest feature. To use the Play Store like you would an ordinary Android phone or tablet, all you need to do is download and install a few APK files from the tablet itself! Now let us get on.

All Fire tablets, including the most recent models running FireOS 8.3.2.3, based on Android 11, can use the tested methods below.  If you have a microSD card in the tablet, take it out. You can lose data while the Play Store is installing if you do not do this. After we are done, you can put it back down.

Get the Play Store Files here.

Make sure your Fire tablet is from 2014 or later before we start. Older Kindle Fire tablets might not be able to complete this step because "Apps From Unknown Sources" must be enabled.  The "Settings" app should first be opened from the "Home" tab on the home screen.

Select "Security & Privacy" now.

Choose "Unknown Sources Apps."

Locate "Silk Browser" and turn "Allow From This Source" on. We will be able to install a program from a source other than the Amazon app store thanks to this.

Now that we have cleared that up, we can begin downloading the files from the Play Store. To launch the Play Store, we will require four APK files, which are unique to your Fire Tablet.  

Navigate to Settings > Device Options > About Fire Tablet to see the model of your Amazon Fire tablet. This is where you will see your "Device Model" name. Navigate to Settings > Device Options > System Updates to view the version of your Fire OS.

Considering the model of the gadget, we may download the relevant files listed below. All you have to do is take the links from the tables below and paste them into your Amazon Fire tablet us Silk Browser. Do not open the files just yet; we are still downloading them.  

A reliable place to get APK files is APK Mirror. On APK Mirror, there are, nevertheless, some misleading advertisements. Search for the "Download APK" button with a file size (shown below). The button's color will correspond to that of the app's icon. A "Verified safe to install" notice ought to appear next to the button.

Google Play Store

Be sure the download you are doing is a "APK" and not a "Bundle."

Install the Play Store

We may start installing each APK file one at a time now that they have all been downloaded to your Amazon Fire Tablet. From the home screen, launch the "Files" app.

To switch to the file list view, select "Downloads" from the side menu. The four files we just downloaded ought to be visible to you.

Installing these APKs in a particular order is crucial. Proceed as follows for every APK: Select "Continue" by tapping the file, then hit the "Install" button. Once it is installed, select "Done." Keep the Play Store closed for now.

Install the files in the following order (your device will have longer file names):

com.google.android.gsf.login

com.google.android.gsf

com.google.android.gms

com.android.vending

Now that every APK has been installed, restart the tablet. Press and hold the power button while choosing "Restart."

Should You Be Using a Fire 7 2022 (12th Generation) Or Up

Before visiting the Play Store, you might need to manually allow permissions if you are using the Fire 7 2022 (12th Gen) or a more recent Fire tablet running FireOS 8. Holding down the Play Store icon allows you to choose "App Info."

During our latest testing, we found that the Fire 7 2022 (running FireOS 8.3.2.3) did not require manual permission grants. But in case you encounter problems, you might attempt the guidelines we have kept below.

Choose "Permissions" from the App Info screen.

Choose "SMS" and "Phone," then turn them both to "Allow." You can now carry out the remaining portions of the tutorial.

Open the Play Store and log in.

Open the Play Store from the home screen and log in with your Google account after completing the aforementioned steps. Like on any other Android device, you will have a functioning Google Play Store once you are signed in. Download Telegram, Chrome, Gmail, and any other app that is not available in the Amazon Appstore without hesitation.

It is probable that Play Store functionality will be broken by upcoming Fire OS versions. If that occurs, we advise repeating the full installation procedure and seeing if any updated APK files are available. 

You can restart your Fire tablet by reseting it if everything else fails.  

You can run into some issues if you try to utilize the Play Store straight away. Please be patient as the Play Store and Google Play Services will update automatically in the background. It might take ten minutes to complete this.
