In this guide, we will show you a nifty method using which you can install Google Apps on your OnePlus 13. The thirteenth iteration of the device has just been released by the Chinese OEM and it has already managed to grab the attention of the masses. With the latest octa-core Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset coupled with up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage, a massive 6000 mAh battery [with 100W fast charging], and the latest Android 15 out of the box, well, you cannot have asked for anything better!
With that said, the device has been released in two variants- Chinese and Global. The former one houses the ColorOS and ends up missing quite a lot of goodies, including most of the Google Apps as well. This could prove to be quite a challenge as using a device without any Google apps might leave you in a restricted ecosystem with no way out. Fortunately, I stumbled upon a nifty workaround using which you can easily install Google Apps on your OnePlus 13. So without further ado, let’s check out that method right away.

Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
