In this article, we’ll show you how to get Google Play on your iPhone and use it to download movies, TV shows, music, and books. So grab your iPhone, and let’s get started!
How to get the Google Play apps on your iPhone
Although you can’t install Android apps from Google Play onto your iPhone, Google does offer separate apps for specific content. Here’s how you can access Google Play content on your iPhone:
- Install Google Play Movies & TV from the App Store to watch video content from Google Play on your iPhone.
- To listen to your favorite tunes, install the Google Play Music app on your iPhone.
- If you’re an avid reader, you can install Google Play Books and enjoy your purchased eBooks on your iPhone.
Remember, when you launch these apps for the first time, you’ll need to log into your Google account to access your content conveniently.
How to buy content for Google Play
Unfortunately, the Google Play apps for movies, music, and books don’t support in-app purchases, meaning you can’t buy content directly from these apps. However, you can still purchase your desired movies, music, and books using an Android device or a browser on your desktop computer. Simply follow these steps:
- Visit the Google Play website in your browser and sign into your Google account.
- On the left-hand side, click on “Payment methods” to configure and add a payment method if you haven’t done so already.
- Follow the instructions to add your preferred payment method to your Google account.
Once you’ve set up your payment method, you can make your Google Play purchases on the website:
- Go back to the Google Play site on your browser.
- Click on the section you want to explore, such as Movies & TV, Music, or Books.
- Browse or search for the content you desire and complete your purchase. The content will be available on your iPhone within moments.
Now that you know how to get Google Play on your iPhone, you can enjoy all the movies, music, and books it has to offer. So go ahead, explore the world of Google Play on your iOS device and have fun!
