How to install Android apps (APKs) on windows 11

How to install any Android APK on Windows 11  No ADB commands required Technology has improved a lot recently. One of the greatest additions to the pack is some exciting news. You can now install android applications (APKs) on windows 11.   Thanks to the latest Microsoft operating system, you can install apps like WhatsApp or android games that require more graphics power. If you follow around and keep up with apps like WhatsApp, you would agree with me, currently you can only use services like “WhatsApp web” to link your main device to a web browser …basically it is just mirroring the app on other devices.  However, you can now install your desired apps on the PC.  Before we proceed, our tutorial will require us to put together several tools.  1.

Getting Started with Shareit App

Good afternoon. I want to talk about using the share it application, especially getting started with the app. Shareit is used to share videos, music, and apps. Many prefer this app because its simple, clean and it can share apps which are already installed. Alright that being the case, let's say you want to share apps with a friend but they don't have the shareit app. Lucky you, this shouldn't stop you. Open the shareit app on your phone and tap " invite ". The result is a screen displaying two options. Decide if you want to use " bluetooth or hotspot ". For Bluetooth, well then your friend has to turn on their bluetooth. An APK will be sent via bluetooth to the other phone. But in case you choose hotspot, make sure your friend turns on their WIFI and run a scan for an available hotspot. Follow the onscreen instructions displayed on the phone that has shareit app.

What is an APK & What does it do?

It is what you would call file extensions for example on windows PC, the setup file has ".exe" and android has .apk. The Lumia phones have .xap and so on so forth. Every Android device uses an APK during application installations, for example when Whatsapp or facebook application has been created (Developed) for it to get to us, the one developing the apps will deploy the applications as APKs so that all android users can get it in the format their phone can run. To make sure there's safe passage for developed applications (APKs) to your phone (as we know viruses and malicious items roam the internet) we have an "Android Marketplace" (where you can find apps to download, for free or paid apps). This market place was implemented by Google, and it's called Google Play. But sti...
