Install Multiple APKM or Split APKS on any Android device including APK, APKM, XAPK, APKS

Android have introduced Multiple APKs support for app developers for quite some time now. The Multiple APKs feature allows developers to include multiple packages to cover various Android platforms like smartphones, tablets, Android TV, Box, and more. This ensures compatibility for various factors like multiple screen sizes, screen densities, or Application Binary Interfaces (ABIs). It allows developers to build configuration files alongside the actual application. Here is how to install multiple APKs or split APKS on any Android device.

Disney+ is the most popular split APK available widely. Its isn’t just a standalone app. Being a streaming service, it comes with multiple supporting packages called config files. These config files ensure compatibility across various Android devices including smartphones, smart TVs, smart boxes, tablets. All these devices have different DPIs, screen resolutions, aspect ratios, and Android versions too. Not to mention the custom Android skin from various OEM manufacturers like Samsung’s One UI 2.1, OnePlus’ Oxygen OS 10, Xiaomi’s MIUI 12, and the stock one from Google Pixel. So supporting all these devices and making the app compatible and maintaining stability becomes a challenge. This is where Google’s Multiple APKs system (split APKs) comes into play.

While you can still install these split apps directly from Google Play Store without going through all these troubles, problems like lack of availability of apps or the notorious “This app is not compatible with your device” compatibility error still exist. So users may need to settle for sideloading APK files from third-party websites. Now, these websites notoriously take advantage of split APKs. So instead of allowing a universal split installer support, which we already have called SAI, these third-party APK websites make their own installer and try to push it. Here is an all in one Multiple App Installer that can install almost any split app like APKS, APKM, XAPK, or simply a zip file with all apps from websites like APKMirror, APKPure, Utodown, APKCombo, and more.

Here in this tutorial we will show you how to install multiple APK, also known as Split APKs, on any Android device regardless of the device, location or country you are currently residing in. While Google calls it Multiple APK, it is also widely known as Split APK as the Split APK Installer (SAI) is a widely used tool to install such apps.
