APKMirror Installer is an alternative application to the native or Android installer, which in version 1.6 has added support for installing OBB files, which must be inside an APKM, XAPK or APKS file. OBBs are files or resources that certain Android games need to run and function. These types of files could already be installed from the PC or with APKPure 's XAPK file installer , so this feature of APKMirror Installer is not something new..
When you install a game, after running it you may see a supplemental download start. There, these OBB files for that game are possibly being downloaded. It's something that has happened to me with FIFA games for Android , for example. Sometimes there may be problems during this process of downloading these OBB files, or perhaps you simply do not have Internet, and the only solution is to look for the complete game or one that already includes these OBB data and install it together.

You certainly don't need an additional application like APKMirror Installer to install OBB files. It can be done manually. You simply download the APK of the game (do not open it), download their respective OBB files that you will have to search or find on the Internet, and finally copy those OBB files to the game directory (com.developername.gamename) which is located in the internal memory , Android folder > OBB..
If you already use APKMirror Installer as an installer, it doesn't hurt to have the advantage of being able to install APK files with their respective OBB files, something that the native Android installer cannot do. The only thing you will have to do is search and download the APKM, XAPK or APKS file of the game you want to install from the Internet. Installing this file will install the APK and its respective OBB files in the respective directory (basically the same thing you can do manually, as I explained above). If you don't know where to look for these APK files with their OBB, you can search on apkpure.com . This website has XAPK files (APK+OBB) that Android normally cannot install and requires a special installer such as APKMirror Installer or APK Pure Installer.
Behind APKMirror Installer is Artem Russakovskii, the founder of the famous page androidpolice.com and also apkmirror.com . This is an excellent and recommended page to download APK files safely and reliably and it is something that I think should be integrated with its “Installer”, since the latter is nothing more than an alternative installer to the one that Android already comes with, which I have not seen It is necessary to install a normal APK, but it will be useful to install XAPK, APKM or APKS files..
