Updated on

Ever you wonder what an APK is? Why, when you want to install an app or a MOD game, must you install it using an APK? Here is everything related to the APK you should read and should know to avoid having problems and problems related.

1. About APK

What is an APK?

APK is an acronym for “Android application package”, which is an application installer used on the Android operating system. APK is a ZIP-based archive, based on the JAR format and has a .apk extension.

Why need APK?

  • From time to time, you want to experience new games and apps that are not yet available on Google Play.
  • Install apps that are blocked or restricted in certain countries on Google Play.
  • No Play Store app on your phone / Can’t open Play Store app
  • Installing apps through APK also allows you to install paid apps, which infringe copyright.

What is OBB?

Obb is an additional data file for the app. Some need them to work, while some don’t. If you see the Obb download link in posts on APKMody, then you need to download them.

What is APKs?

With the release of Android App Bundles, this new format of Google Play will make it impossible for us to share APK anymore. Replace it with APKs.

Essentially, APKs are collections of multiple APK files within that file.

APKs cannot be installed in the normal way. To install APKs, you need to use XAPKS Installer.

What is XAPK?

XAPK is an APK and OBB container format.

    Just for info: A lot of Android devices come with an installation manager, which works exactly as the APKMODY Installer

      It not true. APKMODY Installer used to install APKs and OBB faster. Another file manager can’t do that.

      iOS is not Android. On iOS, if it isn’t on the App Store, you can’t install it.

      Take each of the following measures:

      a, If you get this error, you may have another version of the app (already on the phone) that you are trying to install. Please uninstall it first!

      b, It is also possible that the Play Protect feature is turned on, please turn off Play Protect!

      c, This error may also occur because your phone does not support this APK file.

      d, If you have done all the above and still cannot fix the problem, try restarting the device!
