How to download apps from the Play Store without having a Google account

Google Play Store without Google account

This is something that happens in all operating systems, but perhaps we wish it were not so. It is likely that you have bought an Android device, you have gone to download WhatsApp, to give an example of one of the most popular applications, and you have realized that you cannot unless you create or enter an account. Do you want download applications from Google Play Store without account? Keep reading.

What is described in this little tutorial is not going to explain anything dangerous. That is, we all know that there are third-party application stores that do not have as much security (if they have it) as the Google Play Store, the official Android application store. The good thing about this trick is that we will download the applications from the official store, which will allow us to install an APK that, in theory, has already been reviewed by Google itself and thus you can enjoy the apps of Google Play free that we publish every day. Below you have explained the steps to follow. 

Steps to follow to download apps from the Google Play Store without an account

Google Play without Gmail

El example we will use for this tutorial it will be the messaging application Whatsapp. I know there are better ones, but WhatsApp is one of the most popular free applications on any platform, so it seems to me that it is not a bad option.

  1. We open any web browser that allows us to download files.
  2. Let's go to the Google Play Store and We look for the application that we want to install. It is likely that what we are looking for will not appear from a smartphone or tablet, so a good idea would be to search for the application by searching on Google. In the example of WhatsApp, I searched for “whatsapp google play”. Copy Google Play ID
  3. Once we access the application installation page, we look at the URL bar and we copy what is after the equals symbol (=). In the case of WhatsApp, what we have to copy is «com.whatsapp & hl= is«.
  4. Now let's go to the official website to download APK Downloader. Download APK without Google account
  5. In the dialog box, we paste what we have copied in step 3. Download app from Play Store without account
  6. Then we play on «Generate download link«.
  7. The next step is to download the app by clicking on the green button. You must click where it says «Click here to download CODE_DE_LA_APP now", where "APP_CODE" will be the ID of the application we want to install.Download APK without Gmail
  8. Once the download is finished, we look for the downloaded file. Its location will depend on the browser that we have used to download the APK of the application. In the case of Firefox, the downloads are in the options button (three dots) / Tools.
  9. We run the APK To start the installation.Install APK
  10. Finally, we follow the process as when we install any other application.

Is this system safe?

Is Safe APK Downloader

Totally safe. As we have explained previously, the method to install applications from the Google Play Store without an account implies the name of the official Android application store. The APKs downloaded using this system are obtained directly from Google Play, so we could say that installing them with this system is neither more nor less secure than doing so from the official application store.

Of course, in the steps included in this tutorial I have not mentioned something that may be important: it is It is necessary that we allow the installation of unknown sources to be able to install the downloaded APKs. If we always have it allowed, we will not see any warning, but if we do not have it, it will tell us that it cannot install the application for security reasons.

The reason we see this notice is simple: although the APK comes from Google Play, the only thing our Android device knows is that it has been downloaded from the internet, so it will warn us that it may have been modified to add malicious code. But I repeat once more, Applications downloaded with this method are exactly as safe as those downloaded from the official store of Android.

What do we gain by using this method?

Download apps with data privacy

Well, it will all depend on how you want to maintain your privacy. More and more users are concerned about our privacy. I know people who don't like working for "GAFA" (Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon) and they prefer not to tell these companies what, how and when they use something. I know they are not the majority, but they can be understood.

So doing this We will gain some privacy since by using this method it makes it a little more difficult for Google to know what applications we use on our device that does not use Android operating system.

On the other hand, this method is also indicated for people who do not use Google services. Why create an account if all these users want is to download applications? Maybe downloading apps from the Google Play Store without an account is not as easy as doing it from the official application store, but I wouldn't create it just for this reason either.

    Try to download the play store from reliable websites, avoid direct downloads from mediafire and derivatives. There you will always have your updated Play Store version.

    How lazy Google made me. Apart every time I touch something important on the system of whatever it is, I spend two hours for it to work again. And it never stays the same.

    But I don't want to use Google at all. I even felt harassed with so much: if you don't activate this, that doesn't work and so on a thousand times
