⚡ Google is killing Android freedom by stopping you from side-loading apps. What's your reaction?
Option 1: Stop call it side-loading: Google wants to stop us from INSTALLING apps on our OWN phones.
Option 2: Awesome, now I can hate Google and Apple equally for destroying freedom.
Option 3: I don't care as I'm using a different OS anyway (please comment which one!)

I also have a tablet that I use predominantly for gaming, I will move over to a third party ROM when one becomes available, or I won't update.
I use F-droid and multiple apps not available on the play store.

Btw: the Tuta app on the Linux phone was last updated on April 2019!

in reply to Tuta • • •I chose "I'm using a different OS" because I don't have a cellphone.😜
However, I would have chosen "Stop call it side-loading" if I did own one!

in reply to Tuta • • •I'm confused. I sideload 3 apps on my Pixel phone already. There's no problem.
It never stopped me. It just wants me to clarify that I understand the danger, and I need to give permission.
Loading apps outside the store can be dangerous, and many people don't know it, unfortunately. So, it seems to point it out, but allow it.
I'm not seeing the issue.
