EXE Installation

What is an EXE?

An EXE file is a type of file used by the Android operating system to distribute and install mobile apps. Much like the .exe files used on Windows, EXE files on Android allow you to install applications outside of the Google Play Store.

Why Install EXE Files?

Installing EXE files allows you to access applications that may not be available in your region, apps that have been removed from the Google Play Store, or even early access to new features. However, it’s important to only download EXE files from trusted sources to avoid malware.
