Chromebook Android Apps

Gadgetman496

My Lenovo Chromebook is one of that can now use Android Apps from Google Play.

My problem is that when I go to install any App, it only gives me the option to install them on my phone. My Chromebook does not appear in the device list.

How do I add my Chromebook to my device list?

Thanks mp22 but that is almost 2 years old and my understanding is that you can now use the play store. You are supposed to see a check box for "Add my Chromebook" or something like that but I'm not seeing that option.

This relates to Google Play & Android Apps on Chromebooks and not the Google Chrome Web Store.


I purchased the Lenovo N22 Chromebook partly because it was listed as one of the models that were Google Play Android App compatible.

The instructions on how to enable Google Play Store on your Chromebook are here:
https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/7021273?hl=en

One of the prerequisites are that you must have Chrome OS v53 or above installed.

My Chromebook has v53 installed.

The install section says that you need to sign in to your Google Play account on the device and under the "Google Play Store" section, check the box for "Enable Google Play Store on your Chromebook."

This option is not appearing for me and my device list only shows my phone and nothing for my Chromebook.

Any idea what I can do to enable my Chromebook in Google Play?
