Starting in August, installing APKs from unverified developers will require a new procedure called Advanced Flow. It involves enabling developer mode, rebooting the device, and waiting 24 hours with biometric verification.
After that, you choose: allow the APK installation for 7 days or indefinitely. The procedure is a one-time process and applies to all versions of Android.
Will the 24-hour wait stop you from installing APKs outside the store?
If Google actually cared about security they ought to stop Samsung from automatically installing TEMU and Candy Crush in their random “updates”. It installs that shit whether or not you remove the check marks. The “updates” contain no further updates.
Weird, I’ve never had that issue on neither my Fold 3, nor my current Fold 7. The GF’s Flip 3 doesn’t have that issue either.
Maybe it’s something Samsung does on their non-Flagships to make a little extra money?
Yes it is. Their entire vendor shit can go to hell. I don’t need a Samsung app-store, Samsung photos, Samsung parental controls etc. on a cheap phone that already has Google’s versions of the same crap. It’s like having 2 operating systems in constant conflict on the same phone, and the only real purpose is for Samsung to collect your data.
