Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Worked well, had to follow the developers advice to stop messaging and clear the cache and storage before my messages actually showed up but once done everything is back.
5 ★great app and easy to use it helped me move three years worth of messages which were in my Windows Lumia 950 phone to my Samsung S7 android phone easily even though Samsung's own Smart transfer app failed and couldn't.
5 ★After reluctantly going back to Android, now that whatsapp has stopped functioning on WP10, this app was a relief to find for my SMS restoration and thank you for making it free for us who are finally migrating over...!
