How to Send Apps Between Android Devices Google Smartphone apps and games are a big part of our lives, so it’s natural to want to spread the news when you find one that you particularly enjoy. Android makes it easy to share apps with other Android users. We can do a lot better than simply telling someone the name of an app and making them search for it.
