In earlier versions of Android, such as Nougat, you'll manually toggle a global setting that allows installing from Unknown sources in Settings (tap Settings > Security and check the box or slide the toggle for Unknown sources).Īfter the permission has been granted, navigate back until you're back in the APK Mirror app, which continues the installation process, or you can start over, attempting to run or install the app you downloaded from your browser or file manager. Your phone may indirectly ask if you'd like to change that for a given app, prompting you to enter settings and toggle the Allow from this source setting, at which point you can back out to the installation screen and proceed. In Android 8.0 Oreo and later, this is treated as a per-app permission. That's usually in Settings > Security, or you can search in the Settings app for "Install apps" or "Install unknown apps."
On older versions of Android (on pre-Android 8.0 Oreo, consider upgrading for your security if your phone is this old), you'll manually enable a separate toggle to install apps from unknown sources. Feel free to skip this part if you have a different method you prefer to use. However, this method works on most Android devices. It's possible to uninstall third-party apps or updates via other avenues, like long-pressing app icons in some launchers or through the Play Store. System or otherwise, the easiest and most universal way to uninstall an app is via the Settings app. In those cases, the best you can do is uninstall the updates that rest on top of the original app (we'll get to that later). Most third-party apps can be easily removed, but the system apps your phone came with may not be uninstallable. Sometimes that's more easily said than done. To start, you'll uninstall the app in question. Step 1: Uninstall the current version of the app The steps outlined below work the same for Android 10 through Android 13, minus a few visual differences and small tweaks in language between each version.
This guide has been checked and updated for Android 13.
