What is a .APKM file?
An .APKM file is a type of file used on Android devices, specifically designed for the APKMirror Installer application. This file format is called an Android App Bundle Mirror. It is similar to an .AAB file, which is another format used to package Android apps. Both .APKM and .AAB files contain multiple .APK files. These .APK files are the actual files that install an application on your Android device.
However, the key difference between .APKM and .AAB files is how they are used. While .AAB files are generally used through the Google Play Store for app distribution and installation, .APKM files are tailored for the APKMirror Installer. This means that you cannot use just any app installer to open an .APKM file; you specifically need the APKMirror Installer app.
To open an .APKM file, you must first have the APKMirror Installer installed on your Android device. This app is available for download and can be installed just like any other Android app. Once you have APKMirror Installer on your device, you can use it to open and install the .APKM file, which will then unpack and install the app contained within it on your Android device.
