How to Install APK and OBB Files on Your Android Device
APK and OBB files are essential for Android apps to function properly. APK files contain the app package while OBB files contain additional data for games and apps. In addition to reducing app size, OBB files also enable developers to deliver a more stable and functional experience.
While most apps are available for download on the Google Play Store, some aren’t approved by the company or may not be accessible in certain countries. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to install such apps and games on your Android device. To ensure your security and privacy, be sure to only download APK and OBB files from trusted sources.
To get started, find the OBB file for the app or game you want to install on your device. The file will usually be in a.zip or.obb format, and should be saved to a location in the Android/obb directory on your phone. Once the file is located, open the APK file and follow the installation instructions. Once the APK and OBB are installed, launch the game or app to enjoy its full functionality.
To make this process easier, Hexnode UEM supports XAPK (APK+OBB) files, which are app bundles that contain both the APK and OBB. This enables IT admins to distribute enterprise applications to their users using the built-in Android app store. Moreover, XAPK files are smaller than individual APKs and OBBs, and they can be transferred to multiple devices without losing their contents.
