Reinstall and re-enable apps

When you turn on App sync, apps that you install on your phone or tablet are automatically installed on other devices that are signed in with your Google Account. You can sync apps to other devices like your tablet, watch, Chromebook or TV. If you use Android Auto, you can also sync apps to your car.

You can use apps that you bought on Google Play on any Android device without the need to pay again. Each device must be signed in to the same Google Account. You can also reinstall an app that you bought but deleted.

Also, if you turn off an app that comes with your device, you can turn it back on. Learn how to manage unused apps on Android.
