What we publish
Editorial coverage, not APK hosting
We do not host APK files. The operator's official download page is the source. The page below walks through the verification steps a reader should run before installing an APK from any source.
Editorial note. We do not host APK files on this site. If the operator distributes an APK, the file is available from the operator's official download page only.
Verification checklist
Five checks before you install an APK
File size
Confirm the file size matches the size listed on the operator's official download page.
SHA-256 checksum
Calculate the SHA-256 checksum of the downloaded file and compare it against the value listed on the operator's page.
Version number
Confirm the version number in the APK matches the latest version documented on the operator's site.
Permissions
Review the APK's declared permissions and confirm only reasonable permissions are requested.
Sideloading risks
Why APKs need a higher standard of verification
APKs installed outside an app store are not subject to the automatic security reviews that protect store listings. The trade-off is real: APKs give operators a faster way to distribute updates, but they also give attackers a faster way to distribute modified code.
The five checks above reduce the risk meaningfully, but they are not a substitute for caution. If you are unsure about any of the checks, contact the operator's customer-care channel before installing.
Calculating the SHA-256 checksum
A five-minute check
Most Android file managers can calculate a SHA-256 checksum. Alternatively, you can use a desktop tool. The exact command depends on your operating system; on Linux and macOS, the command is sha256sum filename.apk on Linux or shasum -a 256 filename.apk on macOS.
FAQ
APK questions
Where do I download the official APK?
From the operator's official download page only. We do not host APK files on this site.
How do I verify the SHA-256 checksum?
Most file managers can calculate it; the desktop command is sha256sum (Linux) or shasum -a 256 (macOS). Compare the result to the value on the operator's download page.
Are APKs safe to install?
APKs installed outside an app store carry higher risk. Run the five verification checks before installing.
Should I prefer the app store listing?
Yes, when the operator publishes on a recognised app store, prefer the store listing. The store's review process provides an extra layer of protection.
Where can I report a phishing APK?
Report to the operator's customer-care channel and to the app store or the host platform where the APK was distributed.
