Fortnite has been banned from both Apple and Google's respective app stores, leaving millions of fans in the dark on its future. But while the clash between Google, Apple and Epic Games goes on, some lucky ones can still play it on their Android handsets. There are two ways how you can do it. And both are official ways. 

The first one is from the Epic Games website: Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Visit the Epic Games Store website and search for Fortnite. This can be done on both desktop and Android phones. On Android phones, visit fortnite.com/android.
Step 2: Download the Epic Games app.
Step 3: On desktop app, search for Fortnite and click on ‘Get'. Android users can download the app's apk directly from the website and open it.
Step 4: On desktop, you can search for Fortnite in the Epic Games app store and download it for free.

The second way is specific for Samsung Galaxy users. They can download Fortnite from Samsung's own app store.

Step 1: Open Galaxy Store app on your Samsung smartphone.
Step 2: Search for the game and install.

That's it.

For now, it doesn't look like iOS/iPhone users will get access to Fortnite anytime soon. And while this can be annoying for most, all we can do right now is to hope that Apple and Epic solve their matter and once again work together to bring the title to App Store. Both are entangled in a lawsuit currently.
