AnDrOiD Apps On BlacKberrY 0S 10.2.1

[BUDDHI]

BlackBerry is rolling out a software update that’s designed to offer users new features and customization options… but it also makes it a bit easier to pretend your BlackBerry smartphone is an Android device. That’s because BlackBerry OS 10.2.1 allows you to install Android APK files using a web browser or file manager


While BlackBerry has supported Android apps since the launch of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, up until now developers have had to convert their Android apps to a BAR file and upload them to the App World for distribution. Now you can install many apps the same way you would on an Android phone or tablet that doesn’t have access to the Google Play Store.
Heck, you can even install the Amazon Appstore or another third party marketplace that makes finding and installing Android apps simple.
The update also brings better support for Android apps: they can now access Bluetooth APIs, Maps, and other features.
Other updates in BlackBerry OS 10.2.1 include:

• New phone dialer that lets you silence or send a reply with a swipe
• Support for SMS and email groups
• Tap to open messages from the lock screen notification
• Picture password unlock
• Customize the quick settings menu
• Save web pages for offline reading
• Automatic software updates when connected to WiFI
• FM radio on select devices (BlackBerry Z30, Q10, or Q5)
