How to remotely install applications on an Android smartphone
Step 1: Open the Play Store in a browser
If you have a link to the app, you can follow it in a browser on any device and then go to step 3.
It usually starts with visiting the Play Store through the device's browser. If it's an iPhone or Mac, you can use the Safari browser. The store link looks like play.google.com/store.
Step 2: Find the app page in the store
You can jump directly to the application you want if you have a link to the page. Alternatively, you can search the store by name. It is possible to filter search results. For example, select only apps in a tab in the menu on the left. You can click "See More" next to the "Applications" section in the search results.
Step 3: Remote installation of the application
Click on the "Install" button. If the app is already installed on the device, this is reported. You need to sign in to your Google account, which is used on the Android device.
If you are already signed in and you are not using this Android device, you can change your account by clicking on your profile picture in the upper right corner.
You will see a list of Android devices associated with this account, including tablets and Android TVs. If the currently selected device is not where you will install the application, click on the name of the desired device in the drop-down menu. After selecting, click "Continue".
If this is the first time you do this, a window will appear asking when authorization is required. Whichever option you choose, a password is always required for a remote installation. You can also add the need to enter a password when shopping.
Select the option you want and click Save. After the download is complete, a message appears that the application is being installed.
Return to your smartphone and the installation of the application will begin. The duration depends on the connection speed.
