In this guide, we will be telling you how to install Google Apps on Xiaomi MIUI devices. Xiaomi is known for its state of the art phones at affordable prices. The company has recently launched the Xiaomi Redmi 4X and some users are complaining about the Google Apps being missing from the phone. That is because the Chinese variant of the phone does not come with the Google Play Store app or any Google services.
Xiaomi phones used to have Google Apps before, but they had to remove them from the MIUI ROM to comply with policies in China. But that does not mean that you cannot install them on your Xiaomi phone. Plus, an Android phone is never complete without Google apps and its services. This is where Google Installer comes in.
Google Installer can install the set of required Google apps on your phone so you can use Google Play Store to download more apps. This is a simple and easy way to install all the Google Apps on Xiaomi MIUI devices without rooting your phone.
How to Install Google Apps on Xiaomi MIUI Devices
Follow this step by step procedure to install all Google Apps on your Xiaomi device. Keep in mind that your phone does not need to be rooted to install these apps.

Step 2 – Locate the APK you just downloaded on your phone and open it to install.
