How to Open XAPK File

What is XAPK File?

An XAPK file is a type of Android package file used to distribute and install apps on Android devices. It is essentially a ZIP archive file that contains the APK file, OBB file (which contains additional resources such as graphics and media), and a manifest file.

The XAPK format was introduced to address the issue of large app sizes, which made it difficult for users to download and install apps on their devices. By combining the APK and OBB files into a single XAPK file, developers can reduce the overall size of their app and make it easier to download and install.

To install an XAPK file, users must first enable the “Unknown sources” option in their device’s security settings. They can then download the XAPK file and use a compatible installer app such as APKPure or XAPK Installer to install the app.

It’s important to note that XAPK files are not supported by the Google Play Store, so they must be downloaded and installed manually. Additionally, users should be cautious when downloading XAPK files from unknown sources, as they may contain malware or other harmful software.
