Android has introduced Multiple APKs support for many app developers for a long time. However, the Mulitple APKs includes various features and packages for Android devices such as mobile phones, tablets, Android TV box and etc. This supports compatibility for certain factors such as various screen sizes, screen densities and etc.
APK is a complete and perfect installation file for Android applications that has the file extension .APK. Some famous sites such as APK Mirror has its own format, also APKPure provides XAPK files. These additional files have a separate installer, as these cannot be downloaded directly from the Android Google play store.

There are two main methods via which you can install the APK files easily, but if anyone doesn’t work for you, you can always use the second method option without any second thought. Below are the two methods for installation:
- Stand-alone APK files, and split APK files.
