Did you know that there’s an official and more secure way to share Android apps with another user even when both devices are offline?
做wnloading or updating a full app on Google Play Store can be quite challenging, especially if you’re working with aslow internet connectionorlimited data allocation. Fortunately, Google Play Store has a built-in and secure feature that lets you share apps with a friend or family, so they don’t have to download over the internet the app that you already have on your device.
This feature is also useful if both users want to update the same app. If you have limited data, one user can get the update over the internet, and have that update shared with another user locally.
So, without further ado, here’s a guide on how you can share apps from one Android to another offline (without using the internet).

What apps can I share using Google Play Store?
根据谷歌的网站,you can share apps that are available for free or at no charge. You can also share app updates. What you can’t share are paid apps, books, movies, age-inappropriate apps, and corps apps.
What’s disappointing is, we weren’t able to transfer games likeCall of Duty Mobile,Mobile Legends, PUBG Mobile, and others. This feature would’ve made more sense on apps like this, which usually have large file sizes.
Can I share apps with two or more Android phones at once?
No. You can only share apps with one person/device at a time.
Why can’t I find the app receiver phone?
First, make sure that the receiver phone has done the process on their end. Once done, make sure that both devices are within 20 feet of one another. You can also check if the permissions for WiFi, Bluetooth, and Location on both phones are enabled.
