How Install the UnLinked APK File on FireStick (2024)

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to install and use the UnLinked app on your FireStick. The methods shared here are compatible with all Amazon Fire TV devices, such as the Fire TV Cube, the latest FireStick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, FireStick Lite and FireStick 4K. You can also apply these instructions to Android TV boxes, smartphones, and tablets.

What is UnLinked?

UnLinked is an alternative app store to FileLinked, designed for downloading third-party apps on FireStick and Android devices.

Its main benefit is ease of use—you don’t need to manually input long web addresses. Instead, you can simply enter short 6-7-digit UnLinked codes, which provide access to various app libraries. From there, apps can be downloaded in just a few clicks.

UnLinked also offers the option to create your own app library to share and host apps, but this is completely optional. If your only goal is to download apps from stores others have created, that’s all you need. More details about UnLinked will be discussed in the following sections.

Is UnLinked Safe and Legal?

Since UnLinked is a third-party app, it’s natural to question its safety and legality, particularly because Amazon has opted not to include it in its official app store.

To ensure its security, I used VirusTotal to analyze the download URL for UnLinked. The scan results indicate that the APK file is free of viruses or any malicious software, making it safe to install.

The drawback is that the resources to determine the legality of third-party apps or services, such as UnLinked, are limited.

Although UnLinked itself might be secure, it grants access to numerous third-party apps. Many of these apps provide free content from sources that are often unclear and potentially unlawful. Using UnLinked could unintentionally lead to legal issues. Both your internet provider and government authorities have the ability to monitor your streaming activity on FireStick.

While the promotion of illegal streaming or piracy is not supported, safeguarding your privacy is crucial. To protect yourself, it’s recommended to use a VPN on your FireStick. Please note that FireStickUnlocked.com do not endorse or promote illegal streaming in any way.

How to Install UnLinked App on FireStick

Since the UnLinked app isn’t offered in the official Amazon App Store, you’ll need to sideload it onto your FireStick. If you’re unfamiliar with the FireStick ecosystem, the term “sideload” might sound a bit intimidating.

The first part of the installation will be preparing the Firestick to download the UnLinked App.

Preparing the Firestick.

Sideloading apps like UnLinked on Fire TV devices requires the Downloader application. This tool is officially available on the Amazon App Store and simplifies the installation of third-party APKs and various files. Here’s how to download it:

1. On your FireStick home screen, click on the Find option.

2. Navigate down and choose Search.

3. Begin typing the word Downloader. Immediately suggestions will appear below the onscreen keyboard. Choose the suggestion, Downloader.

4. Choose the Downloader Icon as pictured below 

5. Choose the Download or Get option to start the app downloading.

6. Once Downloader starts its download process there’s no need to wait for it to complete. Press Home on the remote, scroll to the settings cog and select it.

7. From the onscreen menu choose My Fire TV.

Note : If you have activated the Developer Options Menu prior to performing this process please disregard the step below instructing how to do so.

8. The first option will be titled About. Rapidly pressing select 7 times will reveal the Developer Option Menu. Click the back arrow on remote once and option will now be available under the About. Click it.

9. Choose Install Unknown Apps from the Developer Options Menu below

Note: Your screen may display the option as Apps from Unknown Sources. If so, select this option.

10. One click on Downloader will turn the option from Off to ON.

The process above has now given us the ability to install the UnLinked app to the Firestick as the following steps explain.

11. Navigate to the Downloader app and click the Search box.

12. Enter unlinked.link in the box and click Next. 

13. You will then be redirected to the official page of UnLinked . Navigate down the page and select Download APK Android.

14. Once the Apk File has downloaded you will be presented with two options, Cancel or Install. Choose Install.

15. Once the app completes downloading you will be given two more options, Open which will open the App immediately or choose Done to open later. Click Done

17. Choose Delete again to confirm.

18. This Completes the process of installing UnLinked on a Firestick.

At this stage your device is now equipped to stream content from UnLinked. With this in mind it is worth noting that your ISP and authorities do have resources to see what anyone is streaming and if laws are breached it could result in legal consequences. An excellent source of protection is the use of a Virtual Private Network or VPN. There are many available online. A preference of FirstickUnlocked.com is Surfshark.
