how to install incompatible apps from android market for unsupported devices(2020) | No Root

Android developers can restrict their apps to certain devices, countries, and minimum versions of Android. However, there are ways around these restrictions, allowing you to install apps marked as not compatible with your device. Note that these tricks are all unsupported by Google. These tricks require fooling Google Play, and many require root. Some of these tricks may not work properly, as Google doesn’t want us doing these things.

Why Are Apps Incompatible?

Android developers can restrict their apps in a variety of ways:

Some apps are marked as only being compatible with certain phones or tablets. However, they may run just fine on unsupported devices.

Other apps are only allowed to be installed in certain countries. For example, you can’t install the Hulu Plus app outside the USA, and some online-banking apps are only available in the bank’s country.

All apps have a minimum version of Android they require. For example, Google’s Chrome browser requires Android 4.0 or higher.

Bear in mind that simply installing an incompatible app won’t necessarily make it work. Some apps may actually be incompatible with your device, while other apps (like Hulu) will only work when used within the US (or with a US VPN or DNS service like Tunlr.)

Note that you won’t see incompatible apps when searching via Google Play on your Android smartphone or tablet. They just won’t appear in the search results. You will see incompatible apps when searching on the Google Play website.

Bypass Device Restrictions

This app isn’t available in Google Play, so you’ll have to grab it from the developer’s website and sideload it. Once it’s installed, open the app and you’ll be able to spoof a popular device like a Samsung Galaxy S3 or a Nexus 7. You can then install apps compatible with that device. After you’re done, you can restart your device and it will appear to be itself again.

Bear in mind that apps marked as incompatible may actually be incompatible with your device, so some apps may not work properly after you install them.

Tricks for Installing Country-Restricted Apps

Some apps are only available in certain countries. If you have forgotten to install your bank’s app before travelling or you want to install a video or music-playing app that’s not available in your country, you may be able to fool Google into thinking your device is actually in another country.

We have used these tricks in the past to install US-only apps from outside the US. However, none of these tricks worked for us when we tried them while composing the article. It’s possible that Google is sure our account is outside the US because we have paid with a non-US payment method on Google Play. However, we have included these tips in the hopes that they may still work for some of you.

If you do manage to install a country-restricted app, it will become linked to your account, allowing you to install it on your other devices without requiring any tricks in the future.

Trick on install is by downloading device faker from playstore then give it root access and change the device model and apply changes.

The only legit video about incompatible apps I also subscribed it works thank you

[CHeZBURGeR]

I did the same steps but instead of opening it crashes

[NAWW_MATE]

RIP those people whose phone don't support apk editor 😁😁😁

[lingking]

Working until now thank you so much😊. If you followed every step and the app still didn't work it just means the app really isn't compatible to your android device. If that's the case, the only solution is getting a better android device.

[ArjunTheRageGuy]

I tried this while also changing the install location to Internal Only to play Among Us with the new update. It works, but I can't sign in my account because it probably thinks it's a mod.
