Why APK?
APK is the file format that Android used to install software on its operating system. Although there are other ways to download apps, installing an APK file gives you early access to exciting new features because they’re often leaked ahead of time, similar to other new Android builds.
If there are apps restricted in certain regions, the use of APK file lifts such restrictions for users outside of that particular area. APKs also bypass carriers that are often slow in releasing the latest Google updates to your mobile device.
