If you're using a modern device running Android 14 or higher, chances are it's built on a 64-bit architecture (ARMv8-A / arm64-v8a). But not all Android mods or apps are guaranteed to work on this newer architecture, so here's a quick guide on how to know if a MOD is ARM64 compatible before installing it.

✅ Look for the purple "Armv8-64 support" Tag in the release page.

Here on Sbenny.com, we made things easier for you. If a game or app MOD supports ARM64 devices (Android 14+), it may include the following tag:


Simply click the tag on any topic that has it, or go directly to the link above to explore all the mods already confirmed to be working on 64-bit systems. This is the fastest and easiest way to find compatible titles.

🔎 No Tag? Here's Another Way to Check

If you don’t see the "armv8-64 support" tag, don’t worry. As of June 2025, we’ve started including a new field in every release topic under the "Info" tab of each app or game. Look for this:

CPU Architecture: arm64-v8a​

If it says (or includes) arm64-v8a, it means the mod is ARM64 compatible and will work on Android 14+ devices.

If instead you see armeabi-v7a, that means it's a 32-bit build, and may not be supported by newer 64-bit-only Android versions.

📌 Why This Matters

Google has dropped support for 32-bit apps on many devices starting from Android 14, so installing a 32-bit only app (armeabi-v7a) on a 64-bit-only system will result in errors or failed installations.

This is why checking the CPU Architecture or looking for the armv8-64 tag is crucial before downloading a MOD, especially if you're using newer phones or tablets.

Another method is to use any ZIP viewer and look inside the LIB folder.
arm64-v8a is modern 64bit hardware
armeabi-7a is older 32bit hardware
x86 and x86-64 are for much older hardware
and if no LIB folder exists then it is universal and a crap shoot.

Also, some explorers, such as MixPlorer, have a built in EXPLORE feature when one selects an APK.

I agree with you, even though this guide is specifically meant to be a useful resource for those who didn't unlock a mod yet and want to know in advance if it will be compatible with their device or not, and not having the apk file available for inspection, I'm afraid your method wouldn't be useful in that case. In all the other scenarios your method will definitely help as well :)

Very true!
I sometimes forget that I am usually the modder and rip the APK apart prior to posting it ;-)

It is a great new feature for the forum and I do hope it helps aleviate some of the members concerns about compatability.
