Android Go (8. 1) only allows the creation of one profile per device.

To install external apps, you must download them first. There are two ways to install external apps:
1) Through your computer: You must download an APK file (installation file on Android System) and move the APK to your tablet (external or internal memory) in the “download” folder. Once the APK file is on the tablet, use the “file manager” app to browse the content of the tablet and go to “download” to find the downloaded APK. Press it to launch the installation. You may have a warning message saying that you first have to “authorise unknown sources”: follow the instructions to activate this option in the settings and go back to “file manager”. This will also be asked when downloading the first app installed from an alternative store. If you are happy with the app, you can activate this option to allow the app to be installed.
2) Through the tablet directly: Install the app by selecting the file in the browser or the store where you found the app.
