Love using MOD APKs but scared to update and lose all your game progress, coins, or unlocked features?
You’re not alone.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to safely update MOD APKs on your Android device without losing data — even if the app doesn’t come from the Play Store.
Whether it’s a game like Hungry Shark MOD or a tool like Kinemaster Pro, follow these steps to stay updated while keeping everything intact.
🔄 Why Updating MOD APKs Can Be Risky
If you simply uninstall the old version and install a new one, you might lose:
- 🎮 Game progress
- 💰 Coins/gems
- 🎨 App settings & customizations
- 📂 Internal user data
That’s why the right update method matters.
✅ Method 1: Update MOD APK Over the Existing Version (No Uninstall)
Most recommended for MOD APKs without OBB files
📲 Steps:
- Download the latest MOD APK from apksmarketplace.com
- Don’t uninstall the old version!
- Tap the new APK file
- Choose “Install” when prompted (it will replace the old one)
- Done — your data stays safe
✅ Works for:
- InShot Pro
- Spotify MOD
- Shadow Fight 2
- Cx File Explorer MOD
📁 Method 2: Backup Data Before Updating (Games + OBB)
Use this for games or apps with saved progress/OBB files.
🛠 Tools Needed:
- ZArchiver or File Manager+
🗂 Steps:
- Go to:
📁 Android/data/ or Android/obb/ - Find your game’s folder (e.g., com.fgz.hungryshark)
- Copy it to a safe folder (like /Download/Backup)
- Now uninstall the old MOD
- Install the new MOD APK
- Move the saved folder back to Android/data/ or obb/
- Launch the app — your data should return
📥 Method 3: Use Titanium Backup (Root Only)
If your device is rooted, use Titanium Backup to fully back up + restore both app + data.
This is the safest way for:
- 🎮 Online games with cache
- 🧠 Learning or experiment apps
- 🔧 Testing different MODs
📥 Download Titanium Backup APK

Play Store doesn’t auto-update MOD APKs.
