Download Apps & Files
Step 1
❱ Downloading apps, games, movies, music or books is
essentially the same process. Tap the app, movie or book you
want to download and read the information screen. If you
want to proceed, tap the install button or the price button.
If downloading apps or games, you will need to agree to the
permissions which are what the app needs to access on your
device, such as messages or certain settings. The app or game will
then install automatically.Step 2
❱ Movies, music and books don’t automatically download to your
device, so once you have purchased or chosen them, you will
need to pin them. Pinning means downloading, or keeping the
content on your device for offline viewing.Step 3
❱ Paid apps and games
can be returned for a full
refund if you do so within
two hours. You simply need
to open the app page on
Google Play and the price
button will say refund
instead. After two hours,
refunds are at the app
developer’s discretion.Get Inside the Google Play Store
