If you have a non-rooted device, then don’t worry you can do that. You have to use a file manager application that allows you to backup the installed applications, for example, ES File Explorer. Then to extract the APK file, the process goes like

  • You have to take the backup of the app that you want the APK to extract from
  • You will find the backed up extracted file of APK in the folder Backup in your internal storage.

Method 2:

Well if you are a little lazy to do all these things and want an android app to do that for yourself, then the app APK extractor which is available in the Google Play store will do that.

The application is very simple to use. It will show you all the system apps and third-party apps that are available on your phone and you can just search for the app that you want to extract the APK for and then tap on the app, that is it APK will be extracted and saved in the folder ExtractedAPKs in your device’s internal storage.

The application settings even allow its users to change the destination folder where the APK needs to be saved. You can even add the version of the APK if you want to have a better understanding. And you can even share the file right from the application itself to others.
