HBO Max is Warner Media’s series and movie streaming platform and one of the most popular video-on-demand services among users thanks to its large catalog of content and the high quality of its productions, but if we don’t have a television Smart TV at home we will have to resort to external devices such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick to be able to enjoy this application.

What happens is that, for some reason that we still do not know, it is not possible to install the official HBO Max application from the Fire TV Stick’s app store and for this reason, below, we are going to explain how you can install HBO Max on any Amazon Fire TV in three different ways: using your Android mobile, from the Amazon website with a few clicks and finally, installing it directly from the Fire TV Stick.

As the Fire TV Stick does not have a Google Play Store and the HBO Max app is not in the Amazon app store, the easiest way to install this app is by accessing the website of an alternative app store such as, for example, APK Mirror, from our smartphone and downloading the HBO Max application for Android TV. To make this task easier for you, you can download this APK file directly from this link.

Next, we’ll need to configure our Fire TV Stick to allow us to install apps from outside of its app store. To do this, we will have to follow the following steps:

  • We turn on the Fire TV Stick and access the Settings section
  • We enter the My Fire TV option
  • We access the Developer Options section
  • We activate the options Debugging ADB and Apps of unknown origin

Once we have the HBO Max APK file downloaded on our mobile and we have configured the Fire TV, the next thing we have to do is install the Send Files to TV application both on our smartphone and on the Fire TV, something we can do from the official application store of each of the two devices.

This is an application that will allow us to transfer files between our mobile and our Fire TV, for which we will have to verify that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Once this verification is done, we will have to open this app both on the mobile and on the Fire TV. When opening it we will see that two buttons appear in two different colors and with two titles in large letters: Send (send) and Receive (receive).

Next, on our mobile terminal, we press the Send button and select the APK file that we have previously downloaded in the memory of our mobile, and on the Fire TV, we press the Receive button.

On our smartphone, we select the device that appears in the list and that corresponds to our Fire TV Stick.

Once this is done, the HBO Max APK file will already be in the internal memory of our Fire TV, more specifically in the Download folder.

The next thing we have to do is install a file manager from the Fire TV application store, such as File Explorer, open it, go to the Download folder, click on the HBO Max APK file and click on the button Open.

Next, we click on the Install app button, click on the Install option and finally click on the Open button to start using the HBO Max application on our Fire TV.
