Installing third-party apps on an Amazon Fire Stick is a great way to expand the capabilities of your device. However, it requires enabling the option to install apps from unknown sources. Below is a simple, step-by-step guide to help you install third-party apps safely and easily.

 

Be careful about where you download APK files from, as some may have malware or violate copyright laws.

 

Note:  Based on different hardware or devices (STBs) and TVs you use, the settings may be different. But the below steps are common in most devices. 


Step 1: Enable Developer Options


Before you install any third party app from Amazon Firestick, you need to enable Developer Options on your Fire Stick. Here's how:


1. Go to Settings: From your Fire Stick home screen, navigate to the Settings menu (represented by a gear icon).


2. Select My Fire TV: Scroll down and click on My Fire TV (or Device, depending on your version).


3. Choose Developer Options: From the list of options, click on Developer Options.


4. Enable Apps from Unknown Sources: Toggle Apps from Unknown Sources to On. You may receive a warning about the risks involved with installing apps from untrusted sources. Proceed with caution and at your own discretion.


Step 2: Install a File Manager or Downloader App


To download and install third-party apps, you need a file manager like the Downloader app. Follow these steps:


1. Download the Downloader App: Go back to the home screen and use the search icon (magnifying glass) to search for Downloader.


2. Install the Downloader App: Select the Downloader app from the search results, then click on Get or Download to install it on your Fire Stick.


Step 3: Use the Downloader App to Install the Third-Party App
Now that you have the Downloader app, you can use it to download and install APK files for third party apps:


1. Open the Downloader App: After installation, open the Downloader app from your Fire Stick home screen.


2. Enter the URL: In the Downloader app's URL field, enter the direct link to the APK file for the third-party app you want to install. Be sure to use a trusted source for the APK file.


3. Download the APK: After entering the URL, click Go to begin downloading the APK file.


4. Install the APK: Once the APK is downloaded, you will see an option to install the app. Click Install to proceed.


Step 4: Launch the Installed App


Once the app is installed, you can start using it:


1. Open the App: You can open the newly installed app directly from the Downloader app, or you can find it in the Apps & Channels section on the Fire Stick home screen.


Step 5: (Optional) Organize Your Apps


If you prefer easy access to your new app, you can move it to the front of your apps list:


1. Go to Your Apps & Channels: Navigate to the apps section on your Fire Stick.


2. Move the App: Select the newly installed app, then press the Options button on your remote. Choose Move to place the app in a more accessible position on your home screen.
