In this post, I will show you how to install Android games with Obb, Data, and Apk files inside them. Are you finding it difficult to install APK games that come with OBB and Data files on your Android phone? The solution is here.
If you are someone who usually download games online, you will notice that most big games now come with OBB and data files which is different from APK file.
Before now, all you need is just the APK file to install the game and play but now you must know your way around installing the APK and the OBB in order to get the maximum features of the game.
Continue reading this tutorial to see how to install Android apps with APK + Obb + Data files. First of all, let’s know what the OBB file is all about.
What is an OBB File
OBB simply means Opaque Binary Blob. It is a file used for storing additional contents to a mobile apps (apk). In most cases, the contents of an OBB file is encrypted so it’s difficult to know what is actually inside it by merely looking at it. The file itself doesn’t have an icon. The only way to identify an OBB file is by the extension name (.OBB).
However, the basic items inside the OBB file include graphics, texts, music, trailer/highlights, gameplay, anthems, and other media files.
This is why OBB files are usually large while APK files are smaller. They are usually compressed to reduce the download size. Therefore, the file needs to be decompressed before it can be used.
OBB Files can only be accessible by an app or game that is made for it. In other words, you can’t use a different OBB file with a different apk file.
For example, you can’t use PUBG Mobile apk with Garena Free Fire OBB file. It won’t work. In fact, OBB files are so sensitive that in some cases, an apk of the same app won’t recognize its OBB file if their versions vary.
OBB is the new trend in mobile app development and it helps developers comply with Google’s rule of serving smaller apk sizes on Play Store.
What Is an APK File
APK is the file format for apps created for Android devices. Most Android apps only have the apk file but the larger apps now include a separate file called OBB FILE.
Android apps with OBB files require a different way of installation for them to work perfectly.
So if you are looking for a simple way to install Android apps that comes with OBB file, this post is for you.
