According to the Android Developers blog, Google has made a U-turn and now allows sideloading apps. That said, what should you know about it?
More options for experienced Android users
For your information, that means experienced Android users who are willing to take the risk of installing unverified software. The application installation guidelines will go through several steps to inform them of the risks involved and to ensure that permissions are not granted carelessly, making them victims of fraud.
Additionally, Google is still gathering initial feedback on the system, which will be introduced and shared in a few months. Sideloading of apps is one of the features that makes many people choose Android over iOS.
Moreover, Android's DNA is about putting choice in the hands of users. Without sideloading, many new apps can't be used like Antutu 3D, and unofficial apps can also be tried before they hit the Play Store.
