This wikiHow teaches you how to add a new Android or Chromebook to your list of devices in the Google Play Store. When you add a device to your Play Store device list, you can easily install Play Store apps on that device from anywhere you log in to the Play Store. Androids and Chromebooks can be added to your Play Store device list, but you can't add your laptop or other devices that don't run Play Store apps.[1]

    Open your Android's Settings . To do so, swipe down from the top of the home screen to open the notification panel, and then tap the gear icon at the top-right corner.

    • When you sign in to a new Google account on your Android, your Android will immediately be added to your Play Store device list.

    How do I log on to the Play Store?

    Community Answer

    If you're trying to access it on a PC, go to Google and go to "play.google.com." The top right corner will say "Sign In." Tap that button, and log in with your Google account. If you can't do that, you might need to install the Play Store app on your device and try again.

    No, Apple devices do not support the Google Play Store.
