If you are an Apple user, you may not only have a Mac, but also an iPhone, so you don't have a phone Androidwhich may not miss. However, sometimes, we need to lower an application that is only for this system, or we even look for a second phone to have two WhatsApp or several other apps.
Well, although Mac It belongs to the same company as the iPhone, and it has nothing to do with Android, there are free and very simple emulators that will make us one on our computer, fully functional and in just a few minutes, so we will see it.
Use an android in a MacBook
To use an emulator, we will only have to install it, like any other application, and once open, this will begin to be executed as if we turn on a phone, having to configure it later with our Google account, lowering the apps in the PlayStore, etc., however, we will already be inside that Android, and we can perform any type of action.
In our case, we recommend blostacks, since it is simple, free, and with enough macOS compatibility. There is more, and even some better, but we are going to see this, since it is the one we know and works for us.
How to install and start blostacks

What can I do with an Android emulator
There are a thousand things that we can do with an emulator on a PC that we could not do on a mobile, so we are going to wear some, although other others think.
- Play mobile games On a bigger screen: and you will not have to play that game that you like on your iPhone, but you can use your Mac for it, which, many times, is not available for computers.
- Use applications As social networks, messaging and productivity: having two WhatsApp on a mobile is not easy, but in this way you can work with another different number, for example.
- Test and develop apps If you are a programmer: if you do not want to spoil your Android or fill it with test apks, it is a way to emulate it in other devices other than the staff.
- Multitask Among several Android applications: on a phone it is difficult to use several apps at the same time, something that changes if we use an emulator, and, above all, a greater screen that allows it.
And you, what other uses do you think this emulator has? What were you looking to install one? Leave us a comment.
