Yeah ik but I'm trying to find a way of dumping them.I'm not well versed in phones, but from I remember apk is an installable file.
Yeah sorry I mean dump apk.you mean dump an apk? you can "extract" an apk by just using 7zip since it's basically a glorified jar file
Is there anyway I can extract an apk from installed apps on android?
Yes I want to get the apk from installed apps.Do you mean extract APK "file" from Android Phone ?
Yes I want to get the apk from installed apps.
Is there anyway of doing it on pc? I'm kind of paranoid of installing random apps from playstore.Easy. Get this app called APK Extractor at Google Play and follow this:

Well that sucks I was hoping to use something less sketchy without posing any security risk to my device.You'll have to use something that patches the signature checks in the package installer. Lucky Patcher can do this, and you'll need root in order to do it. LP can also properly dump APKs with a valid signature that can be installed on devices without needing to patch signature checks. I can't link to it since it's technically a warez tool, but just look for ChelpuS on Google. That's the developer's name, and the official site is the first result on Google.
NB: Patching these checks poses a major security risk as it allows any APK to be installed over any other with the same package name. Only do this if you know what you're doing.
I mean, it's not sketchy. It's just a very powerful tool that can lead to something bad if you aren't careful. You can always remove the patches when you get the APK installed. Though I recommend just using it to dump a proper APK. That way you don't have to patch the device you want to install it on or need root on it. You will need root to properly dump an APK, though, and this applies to any tool you try to use. Less "sketchy" alternatives would be Titanium or Migrate, but again, you need root, and Titanium isn't free, nor does it properly work on Android 10. I can't speak for Migrate since I've never used it, but it's from XDA so you should be able to trust it.Well that sucks I was hoping to use something less sketchy without posing any security risk to my device.
