Android for Beginners: What is an APK File

If you're new to Android and would like to start downloading leaked apps and customizing your Android experience, you'll need to know about APK files. In the following guide, you'll learn why APK files are important, how to download them to your computer or phone and, finally, how to install 'em. Read on for all the juicy details

What is an APK File

An APK file is a file format used to distribute and install software (usually games or applications) on the Android operating system. Downloading the APK allows you to install programs without needing access to sites like Google Play (or AndroidPIT). To install these files, it's not even necessary to be connected to the Internet.

Why Would I Want to Install an APK File

Installing APK files allows you to install apps that have leaked ahead of their official release (like Flipboard, for example). Alternately, you can download apps that have been banned (like Market Changer, which trickers Google Play into thinking you're from another country). Often APK files from new Android builds are leaked, giving you early access to features like Google Now that you wouldn't have been able to get without downloading them on your own. You could say that APK files allow one to bypass carriers to get the latest Google updates. Alternately, if your Android device lacks access to Google Play, APK files may be the only way to get apps on your device.

Installing APK Files from Your Browser

Alternately, you can install APK files from the browser on your Android. Just open your browser, click on the APK file to download and you'll see it downloading in the top bar of your phone. Once done, open the "Downloads" icon, click the .apk file, click "yes" and the app will begin downloading to your Android.
