Sometimes you can’t download an app from the Google Play Store because you don’t have an internet connection on the phone or you can’t find it there for some reason.

Approach 1 : Utilizing Quick Share

Quick share is the most dependable method for sharing apps amongst Android phones.

Let’s look at how to utilize quick share to transfer apps across Android phones. Quick share is a feature available on Android phones that lets users exchange files and apps when they are close to each other. It establishes a connection between two Android phones using Bluetooth. 

All Android phones support nearby share; however, in order to activate quick share open settings, the sending and receiving Android phones must both have nearby share enabled.

• Open Settings app on your smartphone
• Press on the Google app.
• Click “Quick Share.”
• Click the “Share with you” option.
• select contacts or anyone

I’ll now explain how to start quick sharing so that you can move apps from one Android phone to another after we’ve configured it on both of our Android devices.

Approach 2 : Utilizing the Google Play Store

• On the sender’s Android phone, first visit the Google Play Store. 
• Then, hit the profile symbol, choose Manage Apps and Devices under Share Apps. 
• To begin the app sharing procedure, hit the send button.
• A list of the applications on your phone that you can share will appear; 
• choose the ones you wish to share, 
• then tap the send symbol in the upper right corner. 
• On the Android phone that is being received, launch the Play Store, 
• go to the apps and device page, and choose receive.
• When the recipient clicks the receive button, the sender’s Android phone displays the phone. When you pick it, a pairing code appears on both devices. 
• To continue, just hit the receive button.
• You can immediately install the apps on the recipient Android device after the transfer is finished.

So, using this method, you can only share the apps you have installed from the Google Play Store; you cannot share apps that you have sideloaded or obtained from other sources.

Therefore kindly use the following technique if you wish to transfer site-loaded apps or games. 

Approach 3 : Using APK Extractor

Installing the APK extractor app on the sender Android phone will allow us to first extract the APK files from the apps before transferring them from one Android device to another as APK files.

• Launch the APK extractor
• A list of all installed apps is displayed here.
• simply choose the program you want to send, then click the extract tab.
• In order to share the APK files, open your file manager, 
• select the APK files, and tap the share icon. 
• You can transfer the apps using email or WhatsApp, but if you’re offline, you can use Bluetooth or quick share.
• This allows you to create APK files for all of your apps.
• Using quick share will speed up the transfer, in my opinion.

You can launch the APK files and install the apps. This is how you can share applications without the internet by using Bluetooth or nearby sharing.
