App Manager for Android

AnExplorer's App Manager gives you complete control over all installed apps — beyond what stock Android Settings offers.

View All Apps

The Apps screen lists every application on your device:

• User apps — apps you installed
• System apps — pre-installed by the manufacturer
• Apps on SD card — apps moved to external storage

Sort by: Name, Install date, Last updated, Size, or Package name.

Batch Uninstall

Long-press to enter multi-select mode → select as many apps as needed → Uninstall All. Remove bloatware, clean up after testing, or wipe trial apps in a single action.

Unlike tapping Settings → Apps → Uninstall for each app individually, batch uninstall handles dozens of apps without any confirmation-fatigue.

APK Backup — Every Format

Back up any installed app's APK:

1. Tap the app → Backup APK.
2. Choose destination — internal storage, SD card, USB OTG, or upload directly to Cloud Storage.
3. The APK (.apk, or split-APK folder for bundle apps) is saved.

Batch backup: Select multiple apps → Backup All → all APKs collected in one folder, ready to archive or transfer.

Backed-up APKs can be:

• Reinstalled without internet (offline install)
• Transferred to another Android via WiFi Transfer
• Used to roll back to a previous version
• Stored as a safety copy before updating

APK Installer Built-In

Install APK, APKS, APKM, and XAPK files directly from the file manager — see APK Installer for all supported formats and installation details including XAPK + OBB expansion.

App Details Panel

Tap any app to see:

• Package name (e.g. dev.dworks.apps.anexplorer)
• Version name and code
• Install date / last updated
• APK size on disk
• Data + cache size
• Declared permissions — storage, camera, location, etc.
• Whether it's a split APK bundle

Share APK

Long-press any app → Share APK → send via Bluetooth, email, WiFi Share, or any sharing target. Useful for sideloading on a secondary device that can't access the Play Store.

Root-Enhanced Features

With root access:

• Uninstall system apps (bloatware removal)
• Freeze/disable apps without uninstalling — they stop running but are recoverable
• Move app to SD card on devices that block this via Settings
• Silent install — no confirmation dialog
