Never download GTA 5 APK from unknown sources. You will brick your phone financially or digitally.

If you decide to install GTA games on Android (San Andreas, Vice City, or III), here’s a safe procedure.

The most common bait-and-switch. Modders take the legitimate San Andreas APK and reskin it with GTA V’s logos, HUD, and character models (Michael, Franklin, Trevor). While fun, it is still the 2004 game engine, not GTA V.
