If the Google Play Store isn’t on your Samsung Galaxy’s Home screen, you’ll need to swipe up on the Home screen to open the App Drawer and then find the Google Play Store there.
If the app isn’t free, you’ll instead tap the app’s price (e. g. , $1. 99).
If you’re buying an app, you may be prompted for your credit or debit card details here if you haven’t already set up a payment method for your Google Account.
If you’re using an older Galaxy and it hasn’t been updated in a while, the app may be called Galaxy Apps. Although the store features many apps you can also find at the Play Store, there are some Samsung-specific apps, themes, and fonts you can use to personalize your phone or tablet.
To browse what’s available instead of searching, just scroll down and tap any category that interests you. To browse games only, tap Games at the bottom. To view apps and themes exclusive to Galaxy owners, tap Exclusives under the banner image. This is where you can also find apps or themes specifically made for Edge screens.

You can also swipe down from the top of the screen and then tap the gear-shaped icon in the top-right corner of the resulting drop-down menu.
You might want to allow app installations from the My Files app as well (tap the “Back” button, tap My Files, and tap the white “Allow from this source switch”). Doing so will allow you to install the APK file from within your Samsung Galaxy’s built-in file manager.
APKMirror, APKPure, APK Downloader, and Aptoide are all decent websites from which you can download safe APK files, so prioritize these sites when selecting a download.
You may also have to tap OK to confirm that you want to download the APK file before it will begin downloading.
