How to install applications on an Android mobile from the PC

The most expert user of Android mobiles does not usually go more than a day without trying new utilities and applications, tools that increase the experience and turn your phone into an even more necessary and essential device than usual. The most common way to install applications on our phone is, without a doubt, through the mobile itself, accessing the Google Play Store application. But did you know that you can also install them from your own computer?

All of this, of course, with the advantages of a larger screen.Also, if you have several Android devices at home, and you want to install the same application on all of them, the best way is to do it from your computer. Here we explain how to do it in the simplest way possible. For the tutorial you will only need your computer and your Android mobile.

Comfortably install apps from your computer to your mobile

The first thing we are going to do is, on our computer, go to the official page of the Google application store. As you will have been able to verify, its interface is practically traced to the mobile version. We have the usual sections and a search bar to locate the application you want to install. And this is what we are going to do. Let's try, for example, the official Google notes application, Keep.

Write 'Keep' in the search bar and click on the magnifying glass icon or on the 'Enter' key of our computer.

Then the search result will appear. Click on the desired application, in this case, the result is the first one that appears.

Install the same app on several devices from the same place

The following screen corresponds to the Google Keep site within the Android app store. As in the mobile application, we have all the information that interests us, screenshots, features, scores... we have to locate a button that says 'Install' or even 'Installed'. Why do we read 'Installed' if we don't have it on our phone? Because we have already had it in a terminal prior to the one we have now. It doesn't matter, we press and go.

Next, Google will most likely ask you to enter your username and password into your account. This is done to ensure that no one but you is going to install applications on your mobile phone. When you press the button, a list of terminals will appear, including some past ones that you no longer have in your possession. All you have to do is locate yours and click on it for the installation to begin. If the application is not compatible with your terminal, the screen will warn you and you will not be able to install it on your device, just like if you tried to do it from the phone itself.

At that moment, if you go to your mobile phone you will see how, automatically, the installation of the application begins without you having to do anything else . On the computer, just click on accept and you will have the application installed on your phone.

As you can see, over time different devices will accumulate that you don't even use or have in your possession anymore. To eliminate all those that are left over, what you should do is go to the upper right part of the main screen of the Play Store page. On the next screen all the assigned devices will appear. Simply tap 'Edit' on all the ones you want to delete. Click on ‘Show in menu’ and they will no longer appear in the list of terminals.
