Search for winzip.Type it into the search box at the top of the screen, then press the Enter or search key on your keyboard. A list of matches will appear.

Select WinZip – Zip UnZip Tool. Its icon is a yellow file cabinet inside of a gray vice grip. WinZip’s Play Store home page will appear.
Step 4
Tap INSTALL.
A pop-up will appear, asking you to give WinZip permission to access your files.

Tap ACCEPT. WinZip will now install on your Android. When the installation is complete, the “INSTALL” button will change to “OPEN.”

Open WinZip. If you’re still at the Play Store, tap the OPEN button. If not, look for the WinZip icon on your home screen or in the app drawer.
