Content Summary
How to Download TutuApp on Mac:
Because TutuApp was made for mobile devices, it doesn’t officially support desktop use. However, there is a simple way to use it on your Mac – download a free Android emulator. We recommend using Nox Player or BlueStacks as they are both reliable, fast emulators, and easy to set up. And both have full support for macOS too.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Download either Nox or BlueStacks using the download buttons above.
- Once downloaded, launch your desktop browser and go to the linked TutuApp website tutuapp-vip.com. From there, download the latest TutuApp APK file for the app onto your Mac.
- If you haven’t already got a Google account, you should set one up. They are free, and you will need one for signing into your emulator.
- Open your Android emulator, sign in using your Google account, and leave it to set up. This can take a few minutes, so be patient.
- Once it’s all set up, type TutuApp into the search bar on the home page.
- Click the result ad TutuApp will be installed. When you see the icon on the emulator home page, it’s done, and you can use the TutuApp app store on your Mac.
How to Use TutuApp on Mac:
Using TutuApp on your Mac is as easy as using it on your Android device:
- Launch the emulator and click the TutuApp icon.
- When the app store opens, search for what you want to download and click it.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to install the app.
- When it’s installed, you can use it the same way as any other app on your Mac.
TutuApp Mac Errors and Solutions:
Although most issues with TutuApp happen on a mobile device, there are a couple that you might face on your Mac computer. They are easy enough to fix:
- TutuApp Not Installed
There could be a couple of reasons for this, and two things may fix it:
Method 1: Clear Package Installer Cache and Data
- Open the Settings app on your Mac and go to the Apps section.
- Tap on System
- Tap on Package Installer
- Tap the options to Clear Cache and Clear data
TutuApp should now install properly.
Method 2: Clear Some Space on Your Computer
One of the biggest issues behind apps not installing is not enough space. Now, while this is unlikely to happen on most Mac computers, there will be the occasion when you have so much other stuff on there that space really is at a premium. The only thing you can do here is clear some space. Uninstall any apps you no longer use, go through your file system and delete anything you don’t need, clear your recycle bin, and move your media files to the cloud or another storage device. It would help if you also had at least 2GB of RAM free on your computer.
- TutuApp Stopped Working
Again, there is more than one reason why this could happen and more than one solution to fixing it:
Method 1: Reset App Preferences
- Locate your App Manager on your Mac computer
- Click on All Apps
- Click on Reset App Preferences
- Click on Reset Now
TutuApp should now work.
Method 2: Clear Package Installer Data and Cache
- Open your Mac Settings app
- Go to App Manager and click on System Apps
- Click on Package Installer
- Click on Clear Data and then Clear Cache
Those are the issues that you are most likely to face using TutuApp on your Mac computer, and, as you can see, they are pretty simple to fix.
