Uptodown offers an official Android app that lets you download, install, and manage apps on your device. The only requirement is that your device runs Android 5.0 or higher.
The installation process is very simple:
- Using any mobile browser, search for the Uptodown App Store app on the official website via the search button or go directly to this URL: https://uptodown-android.en.uptodown.com/android.
- Tap the green Download button to begin downloading the APK file.
- Once the download is complete, start the installation by tapping the "download complete" notification in your device's notification bar or going to the folder where the file was saved (usually the Downloads folder).
- During the first installation, the app will request to accept the terms and conditions and enable essential permissions, such as:
- Install from unknown sources: Required to allow app downloads from the Uptodown store.
- Notifications: It enables users to receive updates about downloads and installations.
- Auto-update (enabled by default): The app will automatically download updates, but installations remain manual.
- Finally, the app will prompt you to create a user account, either manually or through social login using a Google account.
