What Are XAPK, APKS, OBB Files and How to Install/Uninstall

I. What is XAPK, APKS, OBB?

A. XAPK

XAPK is a file format for Android phones. It is like a big box that has the app data and other important things to make the app work. When you get this file, you can use it to install that application on your Android phone.

B. APKS

APKS is an APK set archive. This format means that the original APK file has been optimized to be compatible with many different Android devices. These files are like a package that may have many parts for the app. Each part is needed to make sure the app works with all its features.

C. OBB

OBB files are extra files for Android apps. They are like an expansion file within a game, giving more things like music or pictures. Not all apps have OBB files, but big games usually do to make the game better.

II. How to Install XAPK with OBB

To install an XAPK with OBB on your Android phone or tablet, follow these simple steps:

1. Download XAPK Installer: First, go on the internet on your device. Find an app called “XAPK Installer“. Get this app and put it on your device.
2. Allow Unknown Apps: Go to your device’s “Settings”. Find “Safety” or “Security”. Here, you must let your device put apps on that do not come from the Google Play Store. Find something like “Unknown sources” and make it allowed.
3. Find the XAPK File: Now, find the XAPK file you want to put on your device. This can be from the internet or USB or any other way you put files on your device.

5. Install the App: When you find your XAPK file with the XAPK Installer, press “Install”. The app will now put the XAPK file’s app and the OBB data on your device. OBB data is extra files some apps need to work.

7. Open the App: When the XAPK Installer says “done”, you can now open your new app. Just press on the app icon that you will find with your other apps.

If you do these steps, you should have a new app with OBB on your device. If you have problems, check that you let “Unknown sources”. You can also try again or ask someone for help.
