Download Google Installer v2 to install Google apps and services on Xiaomi / MIUI and other Chinese smartphones. Xiaomi, complying with Chinese policies, doesn’t ship Google Apps or GApps on its devices in China. This means you don’t get the Google Play Store app, Gmail app etc. As a workaround to this, you can download the Google Installer app. We will be linking below the Google Installer v2 app which is designed to work with all current devices and software updates. The Google Installer v2 comes as an APK which you can directly download and install on your Xiaomi MIUI device. Keep in mind, if you already have the Google Play Store on your phone, there is no need to download and install the Google Installer.
As mentioned, the Google Installer v2 comes as an APK so you would be required to install this app first. Fortunately, this app doesn’t void warranty as it isn’t performing root or modifying the system files. Once the Google apps have been installed, you can uninstall this app.
