How To Add Google Chrome To An Amazon Fire Tablet
Article updated March 3rd, 2023
Introduction
Amazon’s Fire Tablets are affordable devices that are perfect for browsing the web, watching Netflix or Amazon Prime exclusives, and playing light games on the go. However, the customized Fire OS limits access to certain apps, notably Google Chrome and Google Play Store.
Why Install Chrome?
Installing Google Chrome on your Amazon Fire Tablet allows you to:
Use familiar extensions and bookmarks.
Sync data seamlessly across devices.
Access the full functionality of Google services unavailable on Fire OS.
Requirements for Installation
Before we begin, ensure you have:
Four APK files to install.
A Google account for the Play Store.
An updated Fire tablet running Fire OS 5.1 or above.
A file manager app (optional but recommended).
Recommended File Manager: File Commander
Device Information
Know the following about your Fire tablet for a smoother installation:
Once the APKs are downloaded, start the installation process:
Swipe down from the top of the screen to view your notifications.
Install in the following order:
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
After each installation, select Done instead of Open.
Patience is key, as the installation process may take several minutes.
Step 4: Reboot and Log Into Google Play
After installing all four apps, restart your Fire tablet. Then:
Access Google Play Store and enter your Google account credentials.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup.
Step 5: Install Google Chrome
Finally, to install Google Chrome:
Open the Google Play Store.
Search for Google Chrome.
Select Install on the app's listing.
Once installed, you'll have access to all your favorite apps and functionalities like you would on any standard Android device.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter issues during installation, try the following:
Ensure you’ve enabled Apps from Unknown Sources.
Install a file manager to help with APK access.
Reboot the tablet if installations fail.
