Can you update APK from Google Play?

At the top right, tap the profile icon. Tap Manage apps & device. Apps with an update available are labeled "Update available." Tap Update.

Is app bundle same as APK?

App bundles are publishing format, whereas APK (Android application Package) is the packaging format which eventually will be installed on device. Google uses app bundle to generate and serve optimized APKs for each user's device configuration, so they download only the code and resources they need to run your app.

How do I change APK to app bundle?

To generate App Bundle manually, just go to Build →Generate Signed Bundle or APK, then pick Android App Bundle, and continue as usual. Just one note that, the output will not be the usual app/build/outputs/ folder. Instead it will be the folder destiny you indicate in the final dialog before generate the App Bundle.

Yes you can update it .check original documentation. https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/113476?hl=en

Prepare your updates

  • The package name of the updated APK or app bundle needs to be the same as the current version.
  • The version code needs to be greater than the current version. Learn more about versioning your app.
  • The updated APK or app bundle needs to be signed with the same signature as the current version.

Yes, this is achievable and it's a straightforward process! Simply go to:

Your app dashboard > Release Management > App releases

Upload your apk file like you would normally do. When you do this, the aab will be automatically deactivated. Follow all the other regular app-updating guidelines (increment version number, etc) and you'd be good to go.
