Can APK files harm my Android device?

Last updated: June 19, 2023

APK files themselves are not harmful, but downloading them from unofficial or third-party sources can expose your device to malware, viruses, or security risks. However, if you download the APK file directly from MetroVPN's official website, you don't need to worry about these threats.

The APK format (Android Package Kit) is simply a file format used to distribute and install apps on Android devices. We highly recommend that you always obtain APK files from trusted sources like our official website to ensure security and optimal performance.
