Apk Mirror is safe. The apps you download will have the same google signature. No modifications happen there. So that means only free apps can be downloaded and used. Paid apps won't work unless you buy it with a google account.
Some apk files may not work correctly or cause undesired effects on your device, particularly system files. (Not all files on apkmirror are generic) Always download at your own risk but from experience I haven't had any issues updating apps or downloading older versions (Steering clear of system apps)
Otherwise, it’s safe to download the nodpi variant – it essentially contains resources that should look right on any device. The only downside of a nodpi APK is that it’s almost always larger in size since it’s not optimized for a specific DPI. Rule of thumb: When in doubt, go for nodpi.
I've downloaded a few android apk sex games from itchio and all was well until I inevitably got a virus on my phone,which freaked me out. After cleaning out some things I decided to not download anymore but I feel like I might've just used the wrong website. I still want to download those kinds of apk games but I don't wanna risk another virus.
APK Mirror How safe is it to use APK Mirror? The app in question is a Bitcoin wallet (their current version is not compatible with my old phone that can only run Android 8), so that kind of app seems like one of the bigger targets for fraud.
Android would immediately refuse app updates if both APK's signatures don't match But in short, APK mirror is pretty safe, the SHA checks are there so anyone can easily compare their APKs with the ones obtained from the play store
Thanks for the detailed response. I think I’ll try the PC approach first. Downloading apk to pc and transferring. As of now I’m unable to run any apk post download. Be it an older one that worked earlier or not. If nothing else works will try and move to LineageOS.
APK Mirror shows you the checksum values for various cryptographic functions Basically, if you really wanted to know the checksum for an app, you could download it and check for yourself, or search online and most likely find a place that manages them in easy to read fashion.
1-Some apps may update/release earlier in some regions so other users would need to wait for an update, so getting the APK directly is an option (that's usually the main one) 2-Unavailability, some apps may choose to display themselves as not compatible with a device for arbitrary reasons (when installing the app externally works just fine)
There used to be many other apk sites, but now I can't find any using a search engine, except those main two and ones that look super super shady. Am I just blind or have the only two good apk sites started to go bad? This was all searching for a Netflix apk, as my rooted device doesn't have it in the Play Store.
