To open a file archived in ZIP or RAR format on an Android phone or tablet, you need to download a specific application. One of the most used applications is "AndroZip". This app allows you to open a ZIP or RAR file, but also offers other features. You can, among other things, copy, delete, or move your archive. Additionally, it allows you to create ZIP or RAR files and send them. A bonus of this application is the support for encrypted ZIP files and the ability to back up and install applications in APK format.
The famous compression and decompression software " WinZip " is also available as an Android application. It allows you to open a ZIP file, but also to save ZIP files received by email or downloaded from a website. Like "AndroZip", it enables you to open encrypted ZIP files and install Android applications with the APK extension.

Hello,
Reviews for the 2 apps mentioned, AndroZip and WinZip, are no longer very favorable.
I suggest using ZArchiver, which is much better rated:

It does everything except create APKs (which doesn't seem essential to me; there are software programs for that).
What is well conceived is clearly expressed,
And the words to say it come easily.
