If you still can't get the Play Store to work, your best option is probably to factory-reset your tablet and try again. Make sure you don't restore from a backup when you're setting up the tablet again, unless the backup was made before you tried to install the Play Store.
Congrats, your Fire tablet now has the Google Play Store! Pat yourself on the back. Now that the hard part is over, here are some things you should do or keep in mind. With a little bit of extra work, you can make your Fire tablet function much more like a regular Android phone or tablet. Setting Chrome as the default browser, adding Google Assistant, and even changing the home screen launcher is possible.
See our guide at the below link to get started. How to make your Amazon Fire tablet feel more like stock Android. Since the Play Store isn't a system-level application on Fire tablets, the install process only applies to the device profile you've been using.
If you want to add the Play Store for other users on the same device, the steps are a bit different, because Amazon's Fire OS won't let you have different versions of Play Services and the Play Store installed on each profile — thanks to Florian Wolters on Stack Overflow for pointing this out.
This is an extremely tedious process that will probably take longer than the original guide. Believe it or not, the below steps are still the easiest way to get the Play Store on other device profiles, with the fewest ways of screwing something up.
The easiest way to get the Play Store on another user profile is to extract the APKs already installed on the first profile and install them on the second profile. We only need to grab the files for Play Services and the Play Store. Because user profiles can't access the files from other profiles, you have to copy the two APKs somewhere else, log into the second profile, and copy them to the second profile's files. The easiest way to do this is using Swiss Transfer, an online tool for sending files.
Now, go back to the very start of this guide, and follow the instructions just like before. Once you install those two apps, you need to install the APKs you just copied from the first profile. Now reboot your tablet again, log into the second profile, and see if the Play Store works.
If you encounter issues, take a look at the Troubleshooting section above. Fire tablets aren't the fastest devices in the world, but you might be able to make yours marginally faster with a few easy steps.
