Objective & Intro
This guide shows you how to install UnLinked on FireStick, Fire TV Cube, Google TV, Android TV, Android TV boxes, and Android smartphones/tablets using the Downloader app.
UnLinked is a code-based file library app that lets you access shared app libraries through simple codes. Instead of typing long APK URLs manually, you can enter a library code and download apps from an organized collection.
I tested the installation process before publishing this guide. Since UnLinked is not available in the Amazon Appstore or Google Play Store, you will need to sideload it manually.
