APK Mirror Now Has an Official Telegram Channel

Aug. 29, 2018

APK Mirror, the APK file-hosting service owned by Android Police’s parent company, Illogical Robot LLC, has announced that it now has an official channel on the encrypted messaging platform,Telegram. Available atthis link, the channel is expected to keep Telegram users updated about new files and apps available on APK Mirror going forward.

Personally, many of us here at Beebom use the service regularly to install apps and games, and I’ve personally downloaded Pokemon GO, Fortnite and other software from the site when they were yet to be available widely.

The service, however,hasn’t been free from controversy, and hasoften been accusedof being a hotbed for not only pirated software, but also content involving violence, illegal porn and other dubious stuff.

While many Telegram channels do reportedly take advantage of the platform’s end-to-end encryption to share illegal content, the service also provides an important means of communication for millions of persecuted victims, rights activists and journalists around the world.
