QuestionWhy is there no option to share?Jackson QuesinberryCommunity AnswerAndroid apps are protected from piracy and theft by not allowing consumers to easily download apps onto anything other than their system memory on their phone. If you would like to share an app you like with a friend, I recommend simply telling them to download it, or mention it on social media. If you are trying to transfer an app to another phone, device, or person, you will either have to sign into your Google Play app on the other device and download it through your account or use illegal software to pirate it (not recommended at all).
