FAQs

What does “sideloading” mean?

Sideloading refers to installing an app manually via its APK file instead of using the official store (like Google Play Store). It means you download the .apk file and then run it on your Android TV.

Do I need to enable anything before installing Krira TV?

Yes. On your Android TV you must enable installation from “unknown sources” for the file manager or transfer app you use. This allows installation of APKs not from the Play Store.

Is sideloading safe?

Sideloading has some risks because APKs from unofficial sources may contain malware.
To reduce risk:
1. Only download the APK from a trusted or official source.
2. Double-check you have the correct, unaltered file.
3. Use a trusted file-manager or transfer method.
4. Avoid installing unnecessary extra permissions.

Can I install Krira TV if my Smart TV doesn’t have a file-manager?

Yes, you can first install a file-manager app (from Play Store or other trusted source) or use a file-transfer app on your phone to send the APK to your TV and then open it from “Downloads” folder.

What are the common errors when installing with an APK and how to fix them?

Some common issues:
– “App not installed”: Maybe the APK is corrupted, incompatible, or you lack storage space. Try
re-downloading, freeing space or ensuring TV-compatibility.
– Installation blocked by security settings: Ensure “install unknown apps” is allowed for your file manager or transfer app.

Will sideloaded apps update automatically?

Usually not. Apps installed via APK (outside Play Store) don’t get auto-updates. You will need to manually download and install newer versions when they are released.

Is sideloading legal / permitted on Android TV?

Yes, Android supports sideloading by design but because these apps are outside official stores, the user must explicitly permit “unknown sources”, use responsibly and only trust verified APK sources.

Can using sideloaded apps harm my TV or data security?

There is a risk since APKs from unofficial sources aren’t verified, some may contain malware or spyware. and Sideloading increases exposure to such risks.
Best practice: Download only from trusted sources, check the file integrity, avoid suspicious apps and review permissions carefully.
