Where can I download MX Player?
That's a great question! MX Player is primarily a mobile app, so the steps depend on what kind of device you are using.
Here are the detailed, step-by-step instructions for the most common devices:
📱 For Android (Smartphone/Tablet)
This is the most common way to install MX Player.
Open the Google Play Store: Look for the Google Play Store app icon (a colorful triangle) on your home screen or in your app drawer and tap it.
Search for MX Player: Tap the Search bar at the top of the screen. Type "MX Player" and press the search icon (magnifying glass).
Select the App: Find the official app, usually called MX Player. The developer is often listed as "MX Media (formerly J2 Interactive)" or similar.
Tap "Install": Tap the green Install button. The app will begin downloading and then automatically install on your device.
Open and Grant Permissions: Once installed, tap the Open button. You will be prompted to grant the app necessary permissions, such as access to your device's photos, media, and files (so it can find your videos). Tap Allow or Grant to proceed.
🍎 For iPhone or iPad (iOS/iPadOS)
Open the App Store: Look for the App Store icon (a blue icon with a white 'A') on your home screen and tap it.
Go to Search: Tap the Search tab located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Search for MX Player: Tap the search bar at the top and type "MX Player."
Download the App: Find the official app and tap the Get button (it may look like a cloud with a downward arrow if you've previously downloaded it).
Authenticate: You may need to verify the download using Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password.
Open the App: Once downloaded and installed, the button will change to Open. Tap it to launch the app and grant any necessary media access permissions.
💻 For Windows PC (Laptop/Desktop)
Since MX Player is natively an Android app, the recommended ways to use it on a PC are either through the official Microsoft Store app or by using an Android emulator.
Option 1: Via Microsoft Store (For Windows 10/11)
Open the Microsoft Store: Click the Start button (Windows logo) and type "Microsoft Store," then click on the app to open it.
Search for MX Player: Use the search bar in the store and type "MX Player."
Install: Select the official app and click the Get or Install button.
Note: User reviews sometimes indicate the PC version has limited functionality compared to the mobile app.
Option 2: Using an Android Emulator (More common for the full experience)
This method allows you to run the Android version of MX Player on your PC.
Download an Emulator: Go to the official website of a trusted Android emulator like BlueStacks or NoxPlayer and download the installer file.
Install the Emulator: Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the emulator on your PC.
Set up Google Account: Launch the emulator. You will need to sign in with your Google Account (the same one you use for the Play Store).
Search and Install: Inside the emulator, open the Google Play Store app. Search for "MX Player" and click Install, just as you would on an Android phone.
Launch: Once installed, you can launch MX Player from the emulator's home screen.
