3. How to Install Google Play Store After Enabling Google Basic Services

Since the system has already activated the Google Framework, you only need to install the Play Store APK for it to work properly.

Xiaomi phones can directly search for and install Google Play Store from the "Xiaomi App Store" -- this is an officially supported method in the new system, making it very convenient.

✔ Installation Method: Install Google Play Store via Xiaomi App Store

Steps:

1. Open the Xiaomi App Store

2. Search for: Google Play Store

3. Tap Install (this is usually the official version)

4. Open Play → Sign in with your Google account and you're all set.

4. Google Play Store Works, But Downloads Are Slow?

Since mainland China's network cannot directly connect to Google servers, many users encounter:

• Google Play stuck loading

• Download speed at 0B/s

• Update failures

• Unable to sync Google account

• Unable to load YouTube, Google Photos, and other apps

In these cases, you need to use acceleration tools like TongbaoVPN to resolve cross-regional network issues.

✔ Why Do You Need a VPN?

Because:

• Google Play downloads come from Google Global CDN

• Domestic networks cannot directly connect to global Google IPs

• Using a VPN resolves Google connectivity issues
