Overview
Usually, users, choosing a mobile analogue of the “Durov network”, pay attention not only not to the appearance of the application, but also to its functional similarity with the “big brother”. And if full-fledged analogs have already been invented (implemented in practice) for the internal chat, news feeds and “walls”, then with games everything is very sad.
Yes, for mobile devices up to and including version 4.0, it was possible to play mini-games using Adobe's Flash Player.
For owners of more “fresh” gadgets, this method is no longer available. And what? How to run VK applications on Android? It turns out that a solution to this problem already exists and it is “built” into the official client of the VKontakte network. Let's take a closer look at the whole process.

Mobile client
Let's start by launching a mobile social network client with a “B” in the logo.
We activate the context menu and select the “Games” tab.
It is this item that opens the directory that includes VK games on Android. This list is small, there are only five mini-applications, but the developers confidently declare that in the near future it will be possible to download, if not hundreds, then dozens of the most interesting applications.
We choose the game we like and automatically go to its official page in the Google Play store.

Installation
Following the standard algorithm of programs developed for the “green robot”, we install this gadget.
Upon completion of the installation, the game will be available in the mobile client of the social network (in the corresponding tab) and in the main menu of the mobile device as a separate application. We launch it.
As you can see, there is a close integration of the “working time killer” with social services – we are offered to enter the game using the VK account data. We select this item.
The game requests the level of access it needs to personal information. Do we mind? Click the “Allow” button.
All! You can safely start the gameplay. It doesn't matter where and on what device you continue to play – the dynamics of the passage will be automatically saved on the internal servers of the social network.
In addition, if your friends are not yet playing, then feel free to invite them to join using special buttons and links. For each such invitation you get a special bonus!
We also draw your attention to the fact that launching applications in this way is a great way to save the progress of the passage and share your achievements with friends and family. After all, the entire game history is carefully stored on the network and will never be lost!
In the final paragraph of the article, I would like to add to the mass of positive details and “fly in the ointment” – many users complain that games on Android do not start in the way described above. This is most likely the problem of the mobile client of the social network itself. Just delete the app cache and reinstall the games you are interested in.
