APK File: Google changed the policy, and now it will be difficult to install the app from the APK file on the phone...

Android Application Packages (APK) are easy for Android devices, but they are also dangerous. With the help of APK, any mobile app can be installed on an Android phone without any app store, but APK is not considered safe in terms of security.

Developers who do not publish their apps on Google Play Store make their apps available to users through APK, but Google itself does not consider it safe, so it has changed its policy. Usually, no other app is required to install an APK file on the phone, but now it will be. According to Google's new policy, another file will also have to be installed to install the APK file on the phone.

Artem Russakovskii, founder of APK hosting platform APKMirror, has given information about Google's new policy in one of his posts on X. According to the post, Split APKs Installer (SAI) will also be required to install the APK file on the phone. Such APK files are called fat APKs.

Installing APK on all phones will be difficult
The biggest problem with Fat APK is that it will not be supported on all devices. Fat APK depends on many things like phone size, screen size, processor, RAM, etc. Overall, installing APK files in Android phones has become much more difficult than before.
