What is an obb file extension
An (.obb) file is an expansion file used by Android apps distributed using the Google Play store. It contains data not stored in the application's main package (. APK file), such as graphics, media files, and other large program assets. For example, if a game such as free fire which has a 20 MB .apk file but it may install additional data ranging from a few hundred MBs to a GB or more, and that data is data stored as an obb file after launching the apk installer on our android devices.
You need a suitable software like the Android application
package (APK) file format used by the Android operating system, and a number of
other Android-based operating systems for distribution and installation of
mobile apps, mobile games and middleware to open an obb file.
The APK is that is provided by google is directly linked to the obb file over its google drive cloud hosting service, In which you don't need and kind of secondary file downloading such as obb because the google Playstore itself links the APK to download the obb file and that's where the process is simple but as for the external site the 'APK' and and the 'obb' needs to be installed separately.
Why Does the obb File extension does not work in
few android mobile phones?
This is due to the apk installer which maybe of higher version or your mobile phone may be higher android version not supporting the outdated apk installer and in other cases it happens when you build a new version, you first have to
delete the old folder in your Internal Storage > Android > obb directory,
and make sure it is deleted. Then create a new folder for your app. After that
you can copy the new obb file in again. Some phones do require a restart before
the old folder is permanently deleted.
Does the obb file gets deleted when Apk is uninstalled ?
The answer is Yes. The obb file gets deleted when the user uninstalls the application (APK). that is app itself deletes the file.On the other hand if you go to the obb file and delete it the App will automatically creates a new obb folder and as you open the app it will ask for download and the obb package will begin start creating the files.
Where is the game memory saved ?
A data file is any file containing information, but not code; it is only meant to be read or viewed and not executed. The game is automatically saved in the Internal Internal Storage > Android > Data. These are the files which have been saved upon our gameplay.
Are the data files and obb files for android same?
The answer to this is no. The data files are the Ingame saved memories or missions that we save or is saved automatically by our device, whereas obb files are the package of graphics, contents, loaders etc.
