Bring sideloading back
One of the key benefits of going with Android over iOS is being able to sideload apps from outside the official app stores, functionality that has now been blocked by default on new Samsung Galaxy phones (like the latest Galaxy Z Fold 6).
The change was noted over at Android Authority, and comes alongside the One UI 6.1.1 update that’s available on the latest handsets and rolling out to older ones: a tool called Auto Blocker lives up to its name and automatically stops you from installing apps from unknown sources.
To be fair to Samsung, sideloading can leave you open to security issues if you don’t know what you’re doing (which is why Apple doesn’t allow it, outside the EU).
